chuckcalo Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have a X1950XT, is Tv Out working ? I read somwhere I had to buy an adapter from Apple so I was wondering if you can do it now without the adapter? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmahoney Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I too am in the same boat, I have a radeon 2600 xt pcie card and I am trying to get tv out to work as well. I have tried using efi strings, but it didn't work. I have also tried lastexiles package installer, which gets everything to work except svideo. I also bought the apple adapter that turns dvi to svideo, however that failed too. I have searched all over for info but with the exception of A few posts I have found no solid solution. Anybody who has It working if you could post how you did it and what card you use that would be great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boombeng Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 With lastexil's pkg on a HD2600Pro I have Vga, Dvi and Svideo outputs... I just installed the pkg... no other trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply, my card has 2 dvi ports. I tried a whole fresh install with the package installer and it works now. I am guessing I messed up so much trying to make it work a fresh install solved it for me. Front row works well so I am thrilled. A huge thanks to lastexile.

Boombeng Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 More Info : There is no problem to boot with only TV plugged in SVideo, and Mirror mode works very well, so my HD2600pro is what we can call a 100% fully working Video Card, even if it begins to be old now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errandwolfe Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Very interesting thread, at least it has given me a few ideas regarding video playback in my room. Just a couple of questions.... 1. Could you use S-video in a 3 monitor combo? -For example, I currently use the two DVI ports (with DVI to VGA converters on both) to drive my two current LCD monitors. They are not mirrored. Could I use the S-video port to use my TV as an actual 3rd monitor? 2. Has anyone noticed if having the S-video connected detracted from the performance of your standard DVI/VGA monitor?

It seems to be impossible to get 3 displays in the same time, even with mirror mode ON 2. It doesn't seem to detract the performance but I don't use S-Video very often to be honnest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
