Looks like Nvidia GeForce2 works -- though you have to use their poxy
proprietary drivers:

ATI Rage Mobility P/M, works; no proprietary driver requirement:

The GATOS code is supposed to work with suitably equipped ATI Radeon,
Rage128, Mach64, Rage LT Pro, Rage XL, Rage Mobility cards -- and Rage
II/II+/IIc and original Rage Pro with some glitches.  Again, standard
XFree86 drivers.  http://www.retinalburn.net/linux/tvout.html

And, as you say, there are the Matrox cards.

I'd speculate that the lack of response on this list probably means some
combination of "We don't have those cards" and "We have no particular
need to see our computer video on widescreen television, thanks."
