In Reply to: ATI Radeon VE S-video Help posted by Yoduh on January 13, 2002 at 21:25:38:
Just my own experience. I tried connecting my Asus 7100 GeForce 2 w/tv-out to my 27" JVC television. It works fine during bootup. Fine in dos. Fine in windows. If the windows resolution is bigger than 800x600, I only get to see the 800x600 piece on the upper left corner. When I full screen a dos box the tv support drops which makes no sense but oh well. I tried it to see what it looked like but I still prefer a pc monitor.
: I just bought an ATI Radeon VE video card and a new RCA 25" TV with s-video and I'm having problems getting Mame to display on the TV. I've heard good things about ATI's tv-out - has anyone had luck specifically with this card?
: When the computer boots up, the TV gives me an "Unusable signal message". This stays on the screen until I go into my video settings in Window and shrink the horizontal or vertical size (either one) of the TV output - then the picture comes up on the TV. I haven't been able to save this setting - I click the OK and/or Apply buttons, but when I re-boot, there's no picture on the TV, until I adjust this setting again.
: Now for the MAME part - as soon as I drop into DOS, the TV loses the signal from the video card and comes back with an "Unusable signal message". If I switch back to Windows, the TV screen remains blank until I shrink the horizontal or vertical size setting for the video card.
: I'm getting a little frustrated - can anyone help? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
