You could have a look at nvtv. I use it with Xorg7.1 and the OSS nv driver. 
The nvidia binary driver does not work correctly yet with 7.1 because of an 
ABI change, unless you switch off  RenderAccel but since you don't want to 
use the binary driver, that doesn't really matter :) But anyway, the 
upgrade to Xorg7.1 made me switch back to the nv driver for a while and 
nvtv still works pretty much flawlessly on my GF2 card. It depends on the 
TV-encoder chipset if it will work for your GF4.
