Mobility RADEON 9000 tv-color problem

sodainic · Oct 29, 2005, 08:40 PM

People! I have a Mobility Radeon 9000 on my samsung p28 laptop.
Everything seems to be working fine but... When i connect it to a tv set via s-video, the tv would show only b/w, no matter how i set my display settings. When i connect the DVD to the same tv set, everything is ok. So the tv seems to be in order.
Maybe someone had this kind of problem too.
PLEASE HELP!

I had the same problem with mine apparently it's cause is a four pin s-video cable when it should be a 7 pin ( vaguely from memory ) however i was unable to track down a 7-pin cable at any local retailers and eventually gave up without ever trying a 7-pin one. may help *shrugs*

Hmm, I never had the issue like this. What TV signal you folks have? NTSC? PAL? May want to make sure you are picking the proper format in the drivers when connecting TV>
