GeForce3 and S-video problem, please help!

[Gogeta4832]

Greetings all,

I've got a visiontek GeForce3 64mb card that has vga out and s-video out.
Problem I'm having is that I don't see an option to use the s-video out with the
newest Detonator drivers.

Is that a problem that everyone's having? or just me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

That's a common problem with GF3's (and some other cards as well). Use a third-party utility for the tv-out (I forget the names of any third party TV utilities at the moment, but someone will remember or you can search for one).

tvtool is excellent, cost $15 but is well worth it

Make sure that the tv is connected to the svideo and turned on and restart to ensure that Windows detects it.

Depending on the OS, after installing the latest Detonator drivers, you should be able to see two monitors under Display Properties/Settings Tab. Go to Advanced and the tab of the name of the nVidia card that you have.

Because you have a GF3, you should have a Device Selection entry on the slide-out menu on the left hand side.
