Just in case: i965 and i810 are different chipsets.

Well, I am the main programmer, so I guess active maintenance is
not a problem :-)

Yes, because there are neither specs, nor do I have the hardware
to do some trial and error myself. If you want to donate a card, 
you are welcome :-)

I could update the code with all the new PCI ids, but unless there's
someone who actually has the cards and does the trial and error to
get them to work (NVidia keeps adding new registers that needs to
be initialized, for example), it doesn't make a lot of sense.

What's the TV encoder on this card? Is it an external encoder, or
the internal NVidia encoder? (The logfile of the closed source
nvidia driver will show the type). If it's an external encoder, you
can download the source, add the PCI ids and see if it works.
If not, someone has to figure out what registers need to be programmed.
