Sorry to burst your bubble. I'm actually having a hard time finding any video card that I can use (with xv). The nv driver doesn't seem to do xv in interlaced mode. My g400 open driver also doesn't do xv in interlaced and the binary driver from matrox doesn't even do x11 interlaced. You say that ati does this using the gatos driver? I wonder if this is just for the rage 128 or if the radeons do this as well. At this point they might be the only option that works (besides waiting for nvidia's linux drivers to catch up with windows). If you find a working scenario, let me know the hardware and driver versions you have running and I'll try to reproduce it. Thanks Cory.
