help with GeForce 256 with VIVO

[Cycad]

I can't get the video out to work, I am trying to output to my tv but can't find the right drivers, on the nvidia website all I found were the detonator drivers and I don't think those have the video out drivers in them. Can someone tell me what to do?

Unfortunately any nVidia before GF3, certainly GF4 were very disorganised and you tended to have to use the manu of your card's drivers or those from the CD you got with the card in order to get VIVO. You may also find problems with single RAMDAC etc which would also add other complications. You may have to drop your res to 800x600x32 @ default/60Hz before you get any picture on your TV, and even then you are unlikely to get a pic simultaneously on PC and TV. I'd suggest tracking down the latest drivers from the manu of your card.

Figured it out. I had to download TVtool a good program but there are a lot of shareware versions that only allow 10-15 minutes at a stretch of viewing, eventually found some freeware. You were right about the simultaneous view on TV and computer it's not a good idea, but you can certainly see enough on the TV to make do. If anyone else wants the software, try searching H.O.T. home of tvtool. The website has the program.
