Except for the fact that I can't change mode (NTSC / PAL) in the BIOS (at least I haven't found a setting for that yet). Do you use specific options for TV in your XF86Config file? > I assume you've tried X and it's also b/w? Yes. The reason I would like to change to PAL is to see if this would give me a color picture, and to get rid of the black borders (naturally). > PS: This may also be due to your TV and/or cabling. My oldish TV only > takes composite input, with s-video input I get b/w output only. Yes, i am aware of that. My (old) TV only has composite and SCART input (and RF / antenna of course). I have tried the following combinations: 1) s-video out from pc, via an s-video to composite adapter, to composite input on TV. 2) s-video out from pc, via a s-video to SCART adapter, to SCART input on TV. 3) composite out from pc, to composite input on TV. All combinations result in a b/w picture, both in console and in X. -- Yours, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
