several drivers support TV out but not all.  I believe via, trident,
and savage have open source support for most tv out options.  Matrox
provides binary support for the g400 (although you can get tv out
working with the linux frambuffer driver for all recent matrox cards),
as does nvidia.  for ATI there are several open source utilites out
there as well as GATOS, but they all are coded by trial and error since
ati hasn't released tv out specs as far as I know.  I'm not sure abotu
ATI's binary drivers.

was there a particular chip you were interested in?
