The nVidia drivers seem to work perfectly doing TV-out on the
GeForce 4 Go in my laptop.
It should be noted this was under linux. I also haven't tried a
recent 5xxx series of the driver. But the 4xxx series of the drivers
really did work perfectly, and successfully completed several UniSFA
movie screenings. I can't comment on success under Windows, because
I've simply never tried it.
