I've tried all the options in the bios and none seemed to help.  I do 
get output on the svideo if an svideo cable is plugged in and the DVI 
isn't.  It seems to know when the svideo is plugged in because when I 
boot w/o the svideo and then connect it, i dont get any output on it 
while in the console.
