Yes, the video cards will output analog interlace video on the VGA
connectors...it will be RGB (instead of the more typical YUV used for
video), but modern video cards will output just about *ANYTHING* as far
as the field/frame structure goes.

Remember, various VGA resolutions used to be interlaced, back in the day
(when RAMDACs and monitors couldn't support the higher frequencies
required for progressive at high resolutions).
