It turns out that the Zotac IONITX board has a digital DVI output (DVI-D
not -A or -I) , and thus won't work with the dongle above. You would need
one o' them ($100) boxes that does the digital--> analog conversion.

Oh well. I have a couple o' tellys I can use this on, so I'm not out of
pocket or anything. I'll have to find a crusty machine with an S-video out
for my crusty telly...
