The TVP3026 RAMdac on the Matrox Millenium 1 supports sync-on-green, and code to support it has been in the driver for many years. There was a time when sync-on-green was broken in the mga driver, for some cards (I don't remember which) so it might be worth trying a different version if the first one fails. I can't find the manual which came with my card to confirm that Matrox supported sync-on-green on the Millennium, and I've never connected mine up to a sync-on-green monitor to confirm it, but IIRC I got a mono signal on a TV by connecting the green output directly to the composite-video in on a SCART socket, and enabling sync-on-green. -- Dr. Andrew C.
