I was reading this thread from back in the day where some guys hacked the registry to get component video out of the VGA port on their AMD cards.

Do any driver/registry wizards on Hardforum think this is still possible? I know lots of legacy stuff gets left behind in drivers. There are definitely still entries for ATI in the registry.
Anyway, I'm currently using an external transcoder to get component from VGA, but it requires a bunch of extra cabling, and I have to switch with a DVI cable every time I boot to get rid of a resolution scaling bug. So I bought this adapter:
hoping it would work right out of the box. It didn't, of course, and just passes through the RGB signals from VGA.
