That is why the Display control panel will have a "force detection"
button for TV. When you click "force detection", that is a way of
telling the GPU "I know I've connected a TV -- please enable your
TV output". By "begging" for an output signal, now your VCR video1
or video2 choices should give a visible signal. Try to feed
a signal consistent with the resolution limits of composite
video. Anywhere between 640x480 to about 1024x768, is about
the range that will work. The GPU has to treat the signal
a bit specially, so that thin lines don't become invisible
on the TV, and that is the reason that super high output
resolution choices won't work (for non-movie purposes).

I have looked for a "force detection" setting and can't find one.
I have a Dell 9300 with an ATI Mobility Radeon X300 video card.

My Nivida in my main machine has a separate program to set it up, but
I don't find one for my laptop.

Thanks
