I found the following post on a German board:

Basically, in the comment on 04.10.2005, 10:46, it says that Matrox doesn't support the TVOut feature on the P650 when the Linux driver is used. Use the P750 instead.
Has anyone else verified this, or proven otherwise? Is there any firmware update or driver update that will solve the problem?
I have everything wired up as per the diagram in the manual. Matrox splitter cable on the secondary DVI, and HD15 number (1) is used to feed the TVOut adapter cable. All the cables come from shopmatrox.com

The only result I get is a flicker on my TV when the X server starts.
