I am told that alongside the DVI and VGA outputs at the back, there is a 9 pin mini DIN. This is what I will be using for output as I just realised I do not have a DVI input decive. And the only adapters are DVI to HDMI, which I also do not have. I've also just realised that the cable I am using which fits my 9 pin mini DIN is one that I use for my TV card to receive video and audio from my TV. This makes me wonder:
<br><br>1. Can this cable do output from the video card?<br>2. Is the 9 pin mini DIN socket for TV in on the card? (I doubt this given the card is an FX5600)<br>3. What should I put in xorg.conf as the source for the TV eg COMPOSITE?
<br><br>The 9 pin mini DIN cable has on one side an s-video plug. If I then plug an s-video to s-video cable nothing shows on the TV. Even with the TVOutFormat set to S-Video. The same cable also has RCA components, and I have slot a composite cable in there to a composite on the TV. No go as well.
