There might be some vga cards that can't output an interlaced signal. But most should do pretty well. And I'm relatively sure you can't break anything by trying it out. Take the modelines from the link I've given and just try it out. And I did not talk about the different synchronization behaviour (mentioned in the site I've linked, too), but that's probably what your adapter does. So I would just give it a try. I would do a "hot" plugin and not wait too long if there's no picture appearing. No guarantees, though, but at that signal levels it shouldn't hurt. People did that before... -hwh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
