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).

But will a modern monitor use the interlaced data properly? eg, draw the screen field-by-field in a viewable fashon?
