matrox g400, tvout and macrovi$ion

Hello! ^_^
I migrated to suse 8 from mandrake 8.2 because i needed software for
multitrack recording and so on and i can say i really love this distribution.
my problem is with my video card: how can i use a matrox g400 in dual head
clone with tv support mode?

I downloaded the new drivers and matrox powerdesk from matrox site but:

- if i use powerdesk i can enable tv support but there is no management for
 3d - if i use the screen configuration for XFree 4 i can enable 3d but not
 tv support
- if i use powerdesk after screen configuration for XFree 4 X blows up
screaming about no screen supported or something like that and i have to copy
the backup configuration on the XF86Config file

does anyone know what to do? I was thinking about cutting and pasting the
configuration of tv-out from the XF86Config made by powerdesk on the
XF86Config made by the xfree configuration utility but of course if someone
knows a better way I'm here to learn ^_^

the second problem is: even if i will be able to use 3d and tv out, what
 about Macrovision???? i mean, i need the tvout to view my dvds and divxs on
 tv but the macrovision system lets me see only a black screen. Is there a
 way to remove this stupid and most of all USELESS protection? or at least to
 make it work as in window$ (it lets you watch divxs on tv but not record
 them on vcr)?

thanks for the help ^_^
