This is a complex issue which must be dealt with on a driver-by-driver (and
sometimes device-by-device) basis.  My personal experience is that TV output
works sometimes with older NVIDIA cards and nvtv, and most of the time with
the proprietary nvidia driver.  I once had an ATI Radeon all-in-wonder card
working with the gatos drivers.  I have heard reports that Intel i945GM
laptops support TV output out of the box with the default drivers, with a
few limitations.

In the NVIDIA and ATI cases, this type of functionality is limited due to a
lack of cooperation with the hardware vendors.
