I've got the exact same problem, not that this is of any help to you.  If
I'd realised I would have ordered the TVOUT card with the machine.  I
guessed like you that the port looks like an AGP port, but the faceplate is
about 1/3 smaller.  Dell must sell them seperatly but I'm stuffed if I can
find out where.

A friend of mine pointed out this graphics card that seems to have a
smallish board, however the faceplate would still need hacking (I'm not
even
sure the card is small enough):-

Let me know if you come up with a suitable cards.

Thanks
