I'm not really associated with nouveau, though I maintain nvtv, which is
an independent tool for tv-out on nvidia cards. The main problem is
that we do not know what most of the registers involved mean. If you 
do have access to an oscilloscope, most of them should be easy to find
out -- just hook up the scope, change some registers, and watch what
happens. "seventh guardian" contaced me some time ago and wanted to do
this, but somehow he disappeared :-)

So if you have a scope, if you're not afraid to possibly damage your
hardware, you can contact me off-list for details.
