Hi,

I want to connect my freebsd box to a tv-set.
So, I got myself an "ATI rage 128" card (has S-video output) and, 
after Ted's suggestion a TView gold*, to try this too.

I've tried them both and TView seems to work, more or less, OK.

My question concerns the ATI card:
this gives a more acceptable quality than TView but it 
won't display XWindows. When I startx, my tv-set just goes black.

I've setup the Xserver with lots of different monitor-settings 
but when I try to run XWindows I get nothing but blackness on 
the tv.

Any advise/suggestion will be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Dimitri


*TView is an extra apparatus that connects the tv-set to the 
graphics card.
