Pushing RGA through the DVI port with open-source drivers.

[Dotan Cohen]

My desktop's motherboard has a DVI port that I would like to connect
to the television. I found this inexpensive cable on Ebay:

It looks to me that I need to push RCA video out through the DVI port
to do this. Long ago on a competing operating system I managed to push
RCA video out through a VGA port using a similar adapter. The graphics
card's drivers had this ability built in, though I do not remember the
details. Can I do something like this with the open-source drivers in
Ubuntu? If not, do the Catalyst drivers support this (ATI graphics)?

Thank you!
