problem with svid output

[ChrisB99]

I bought a refurbed 9500 np off ebay for real cheap, to use in my HTPC (nvidia mx chipset pci card )

well, put it in, gave it the aux power, set bios option to agp init first, connected with svid, but the screen is all fuggered up, looks like the picture is just scrolling downward the whole time, during post, and during windows bootup

put it in another box using vga cable, worked fine

anything Im missing, or is the svid output on this card fugged up?

I tried using another power connector, but still no go

Im not too upset because I didnt pay much for it, and I still have the pci card

I think I might swap out with the 7500 I put in the box for my sister, although I dont' think its going to be much better than the mx

well sometimes Im really smart

and sometimes I get lucky on a hunch

as it turns out the vid cards svid output was set default to pal, a little flasharoo to an ntsc default bios and voila

I wish I would have figured it out before wasting $10 on a vga to svid adapter
