There is support for it.. but a little trickery is needed....

If you search the matrox linux user forum (on their site), you will find a 
user submitted patch that enables tv-out support.  You need to piece together 
the hal driver from mga's driver, the XFree86 source ( I used 4.1.0), and the 
patch.  I did this for a customer at work about a month ago (I do tech 
support and testing for Microway).. so I don't remember exactly what I 
did.....  if you poke around in the forum you should find it.  The message 
was concerning DVI output vs. DSUB output.. but the patch can be used for TV 
out too.
