Huh? Never heard! I have just such a card. How much such a cable would
approximately cost? Would it work in Linux using only free software?

I haven't yet gotten the second connector to work even with standard VGA
monitor yet, although I gave up pretty soon.

As far as I have heard, G400 has still best support from free drivers. The
3D acceleration is completely open source, and there aren't many such
cards. I'm not sure about the status of the TV-out (would it need
proprietary binary drivers?).
