While there are those on the list who will express
outrage at this comment, nVidia has done a wonderful
job of providing Linux binary drivers for its line of
video cards, as well as real S-Video ports on its
video cards.  While the drivers are closed-source
proprietary drivers, they do work very well.

ATi has proprietary S-Video ports (with *7* pins?) so
I don't care for them at all.  Lose their
pseudo-S-Video dongle and be prepared to pay through
the nose for another one.
