i'll check that out again (did that before actually, but not too close..)

one thing i forgot to mention: ati-cards have the ability to output directly
interlaced signals, so one wouldn't have to fiddle with soldering a
converter. i searched my fingers off with google on how to enable that for
linux - didn't find anything. under windows it's no problem at all: either
the driver provides it or you can use powerstrip.
