What video cards will boot off TV-out (no vga attached)?

[bassoprofundo]

I've got an ATI All-in-Wonder 128 that does this, and I was wondering what other cards have this capability. I'm looking at putting a small form factor machine in my entertainment center for an MP3/Divx box, and I'm going to need a card to do this if I decide to do it. I'd use the AIW card I've got, but I'm guessing it'll have to be PCI since there are almost no small enough machines with an AGP slot. Any ideas?

You need a card whose VGA BIOS properly auto-senses which of its outputs are connected.
Hey, you know already what cards do the trick. There are PCI AIWs ... and besides, there are
integrated-everything small form factor mainboards w/ TV-out.
Have a look at Elitegroup's "BookPC" series.

Yup............my ATI AIW 128 PCI does that.

I have a computer with a Radeon 32 MB SDR PCI card in it that boots up off of the TV--no computer monitor needed.

My asus V8200 (ti200) deluxe does that.

An intel i740 will do it.

My All-in-Wonder Radeon works fine with TV as well, with no CRT connected.

I have a Geforce 256 DDR on my Divx server and it boots to whatever is connected (VGA or S-Video). Terrible image quality on my TV though. I got a Radeon 7500 I'm going to try next.
