not the same old B&W problem (I don't think)
Good evening all,
I posted this problem to another group, though I haven't gotten any responses. Since it is a direct ATI video card problem, perhaps I started in the wrong place to begin with. About a week and a half ago, I switched from an Nvidia Ti-4200 card with S-video TV-out to a Radeon 9700 Pro, also w/ S-video out. My TV does not have S-video, so it was hooked up to the Nvidia card through an S-video-composite converter cable (I am in the states, NTSC format). Never did I have a problem with color on the Nvidia card, and to my knowledge, I never had to set the driver to output a composite signal, though it may have detected this in the default setup. Using the exact same television and cable, I cannot make the Radeon output color to the television. I've read several fixes to the problem, mostly revolving around bad cables and converting the S-video signal to composite. The problem is, I've already done that, and I can verify that both my cable works and the TV does support the conversion because it worked with the old card. Is this primarily a driver issue with ATI, or has someone else ran across this problem? I am hesitant to spend money on any new hardware, because the old hardware definitely works, at least with my old video card. Maybe the S-video out on the Radeon is 4-pin instead of 7-pin, or vice versa. I am just fishing for ideas. The card unfortunately does not have composite out, otherwise I probably would be home free. It really is a much better card, in terms of 3D performance, than my other, and I don't want to switch back if at all possible. Thanks in advance, -Brian |
