So, I got myself an "ATI rage 128" card (has S-video output) and, after Ted's suggestion a TView gold*, to try this too. I've tried them both and TView seems to work, more or less, OK. My question concerns the ATI card: this gives a more acceptable quality than TView but it won't display XWindows. When I startx, my tv-set just goes black. I've setup the Xserver with lots of different monitor-settings but when I try to run XWindows I get nothing but blackness on the tv. Any advise/suggestion will be most appreciated. Thanks, Dimitri *TView is an extra apparatus that connects the tv-set to the graphics card.
