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.
I finally got around to temporarily swapping video cards this weekend. I tried a rage128 and an ATI Radeon (old OEM one... 8500?). The rage128 still have the damn interlaced bug (FC3 stock X server, 'r128' driver), so it only displayed the top half of the frames. I didn't try installing the gatos driver, since I was figuring to go back to the MX440. The radeon didn't output interlaced at all. Both of them tended to lock up the machine when I played video as well... not encouraging.
I didn't bother with the ATI proprietary drivers. My experience has been that they're more raw than the nvidia ones. I didn't want to break it with the install script that sprays library files all over everywhere.
In short, it appears that you are right. Still no bugless, Xv, interlacing, 480i-frequency-capable video cards. Damn!
