nvidia geforce2 mx/mx400 driver?
Hi all!
I got a computer with such a card - at least windows says so! The card does not tell much itself, BIOS version 3.00.18.00.11 if I recall correctly. But there is no driver on nvidia.com - only for 420, 440 and 460 and 4000. Does MS just state that it is an MX3 series board? Or - I found the MX datasheet, for MX, MX200 and MX400. Is that the one I have? Also, it has a CVBS outout - I want to connect it to my TV, which works well - except: 1 I get a very white, almost black/white picture. I have checked the cable (I work with electronics), and tried a number of cables. Still nothing. Can it be the resistance? It should be 50 ohms if I am right, so, adding a resistor to it? Maybe my Phlips TV has a to high input impedance? 2 I'd like to have both screens on at the same time - VGA and CVBS - as my computer is in another room. Is that possible? As of now, 2 hours of searching I only got this WBR Sonnich |

Check whether the TV output is set to NTSC or PAL and set it to the right standard. 2 I'd like to have both screens on at the same time - VGA and CVBS - as my computer is in another room. Is that possible? Yes, if the driver supports that. Bye! |

As of now, 2 hours of searching I only got this WBR Sonnich There is a driver list in the "Support" section here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geforce2_MX ******* Make sure you have the correct pinout and cabling for the mini-DIN connector. S-video output option, has two signals called Luminance and Chrominance (Y-C). If you connect one of those signals to the TV by itself, a black and white picture results. You can convert S-Video to Composite, by using a capacitor to couple Y and C signals together. That is how an adapter would do it. On the video card though, they might have a separate signal with the Composite signal on it, rather than using the capacitor trick. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-din This is just one example of a mini-DIN pinout. http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/...ges/pinout.gif The position of the S-VHS (S-Video) signals are in standard positions (Y,C,GND,GND). That allows a four pin cable to work with just about any video card. You'd want to make sure, that the connection to your TV, is not using "Y" or "C" alone. If you have a Composite (CVBS) input on the TV, then it should be going to the one marked with a yellow line in that pinout picture. The usage of the other pins, on 7 or 9 pin connectors, may not be standardized. For example, some video cards support YPbPr (component) outputs on the connector (probably a nine pin). You really want to use any adapter that comes in the video card box, in a case like that. If you wanted S-Video, then any S-Video cable is bound to work. I'm not sure whether the Composite signal is always in the position shown in the photo or not. Now based on the above, if I wanted CVBS, and I didn't want to research pinouts or cabling, I would use Video card ---- 4 pin S-Video cable --- S-Video to Composite Adapter --- TV This is what the S-video to Composite adapter looks like inside. There is a 470 picofarad capacitor inside the adapter, with plastic molded around it. http://www.pablin.com.ar/electron/ci...o/circuito.gif http://www.3dnews.ru/documents/3474/shem2.jpg But that is unnecessary, if you have the right cabling for the video card connector already. If the cabling provides a Composite signal, the necessary signal should already be available, and in color. Paul |

Is that possible? Yes, if the driver supports that. Thanks to both of you. I got the driver, I found that all MX boards use the same driver, so I dont need anything specific. It offers to have the same picture on both, though - it doesnt work I will check - but in general it is ok I use the CVBS output, there is such a Phono output - but I will try with the S-video system too Sonnich |
