[MPlayer-users] Which card should I buy for TV-out?

why do you want to replace it?
i'm sure it's impossible to buy a better card for <$100 than your g400.
(i think it's dualhead so you have tv-out now)

there IS tv-out support, but it's a big hack (calls realmode int 10h VESA
calls to enable it) so it works only for VESA modes (and -vo vesa).
dunno about X, i've heard something about GATOS using this hack, without it
it's impossible. (while for G400 there is tvout support in X)
