    Hi, have anyone got the Thrustmaster LCD to work with S-Video?

    I can't figure out how to do it, so I need all help I can get.

    Cheers!

    if you got all the plugs and cables you have to set up as a TV in the grapics options, their should be an option to force it in both nvidia and in ATI.

    Ok here is the story...
    I got a S-Video to PSOne/2 cable (4 pin and 12 sony pin) if I use that cable I don't get any picture but my ATI detect a TV screen (also set to force).
    Here is the pinout as far as I know.

    PSOne/2
    1 Ground
    2 Right Audio
    3 Ground
    4 Left Audio
    5 Y Svideo Y
    6 Composite Sync
    7 C S-video C
    8 VGND Video Ground
    9 B Blue
    10 +5V VDC
    11 R Red
    12 G Green

    S-video
    1 Ground Y
    2 Ground C
    3 Y Intensity
    4 C Color

    I've tried with following connection without ant luck
    PSOne S-Viedo
    5 Y Svideo <----------> 3 Y Intensity
    7 C S-video <---------> 4 C Color
    8 VGND <--------------> 1+2 Ground Y,C

    5 Y S-video <---------> 4 C Color
    7 C S-video <---------> 3 Y Intensity
    8 VGND <-------------> 1+2 Ground

    6 Composite <---------> 3+4 Intesity and Color
    8 VGND <--------------> 1+2 Ground


    Don't know if the Thrustmaster LCD's composite are just out, or if I'm doing something wrong.

    Cheers.

    I think it's depends on what type of PSOne LCD you have, if you have the one I have (Thrustmaster) I've not found a way since it only have the 12 pin connector. The other type will have a simmular connector like a hadphone jack. Connect like this "a s-video -> rca -> 3.5mm jack".

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    Cheers

    Yes I've checked the starfox sites, it look like it's only the VGA mod.

    I've tested the VGA mod and it worked with my Radeon, the only major problem is that it doesn't recognise my second screen (5" LCD) when I restart/boot the OS, so I've to swap with an ordinary 17" display after that's been anabled and then swap back to the 5" LCD when the OS is up and.

    Is there any mod to fool the Radeon to think it's has an second display when the 5" LCD is connected from the begining - I appreciate that info also.

    Cheers

    Hmm, I was thinking of that too, last option I guess.

    As it's not that easy to find cheap PCI graphics in Sweden, what cards willl work without that I've to build a Composite sync circuit?
    Will any ATI do it? What about this - HIS Value Pack ATI Radeon 7000 64MB DDR Tv-Out (PCI).

    Cheers
