It's been a couple of months since I used this setup (a PS2 arrived) but I'm pretty sure that if the hardware was all plugged before the kit was powered up then the TVOUT display would be on. This would have been with xf86, YMMV with x.org (I've not tried it but I have upgraded to it already). I know it worked fine as I was really expecting it not to and I did use it this way for quite a long time. I've attached my kernel config and X config in case they're helpful. (they've not changed "significantly" since I had this all working) Just in case I'm talking rubbish. I've have done this by connecting the SVIDEO out from the 9600 to the SVIDEO->composite(? - yellow phono plug) converter and then I'll plug into the video-in socket on the TV. When I get a chance I'll try it out again, but I don't have a TV with video in where I work and I've chucked out my VCR that acted as the video->UHF converter. I'll have a butchers and see how easy it would be to attach my PS2 video->uhf converter with a soldering iron to solve the problem. Steve P.S. both config files are full of comments that I've never got round to removing, because I'm lazy, they're probably referring to stuff from years ago. --cmJC7u66zC7hs+87 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="XF86Config.pub" Section "ServerLayout" #
