Hey guys. I bought an old JATON AGP 3DFORCE MX4000-64 off of Ebay to
replace my old GeForce 2 card to take advantage of the overscanning
capabilities of the GeForce 4. Overscanning works perfectly, but
unfortunately the video out is black and white from both the composite
out and svideo out (using an svideo to composite adaptor). This is run
into the auxillary input on my vcr. This same setup worked fine with
color on the GeForce 2 card.
I checked the output of the card on a different tv (which is connected
to my video distribution system as is my main tv that shows B&W only)
and the display is in color. It seems that my main tv is having
problems with the signal. The odd part is that I've tried two other
video cards using either composite or svideo out and they both show
color on my main tv (one is the old geforce2 the other is an ATI Radeon
9000 that I am having trouble configuring).
Also, when I boot, the green 'Energy Star' logo appears in black and
white. This troubles me.
Are there something that I can set that can get my tv to recognize the
color portion of the signal? I am running a version of Knoppix (Debian
based) and XF86 .
Many thanks......
