Hi all,

I am attempting to hook a computer up to my old rear projection Sony HDTV.
I ran an S-video cable from my video card to an available S-video input on
the TV. I then go into desktop, Properties, Settings, I choose the 2nd
monitor (my TV) and then choose "Extend my windows desktop onto this
monitor". I do get output onto my TV, but it is constantly scrolling at a
rate faster than is legible. I have tried different resolutons and they
all
do the same. Any ideas on how I can resolve this ?

Thank you,

Duke


You have to play with refresh rate as well as resolution.


Thanks for the tips all. I tried changing the refresh rate, but my only
option was 60 Hz. I'll go back and look at it again though to make sure. I
tried to add a different type of monitor, but could not figure out how to do
that. Currently it is set to Generic TV. ATI's documentation shows an
adapter that goes from svideo on the card to composite into the TV. I was
thinking about trying something like that. I only have one dvi input on the
tv so I can't use that and I am not serious enough about this to buy a dvi
splitter. I'll also check in alt.comp.periphs.videocards.ati as suggested.

Thanks all,

Duke
