"I have an IBM thinkpad 600E with a Neomagic (NM2200) 256AV video chipset. Windows XP's built-in driver does NOT support TV-out at all (not sure about dual display, I'm not interested in that...) and is listed as version 5.31 or something similar. If you use this driver (or just go to the source at IBM (win2k driver version 5.39) www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.
