That one has definitely been covered numerous times. In the future, please 
search the mailing list archive (see link in my sig), but I'll answer anywho 
-- its Friday and I'm in a good mood. :-)

There are currently two routes to go if you have no DVI or VGA on your HDTV 
(which is the case with my own HDTV). The first, tried and true, is a VGA to 
component video transcoder. This is what I currently use -- there are a few 
different brands, I have an Audio Authority 9A60. The second is a video card 
that has a component output adapter and works under Linux, like some of the 
nVidia 6x00 series cards. I just purchased a 6200 with a component video 
output dongle myself, which I plan to set up this weekend, after which I'll 
know which route I like better...

Also, I wrote some stuff on the subject a while back, probably will be of use 
to you:
