Hello,
I am new to this list.
I have an 8500 dual/200 that I have cobbled together from parts and it seems to work well...
However I can't seem to get composite video out. RCA audio in/out and composite in all work. I haven't test s-video as I have no cables.
Composite video renders a grey screen. I think this is a hardware issue, as I have software troubleshooted already. I checked that all a/v extension are enabled, maxed VRAM, booted with TV only. I always get the same grey screen that changes size with a resolution change.
Unless you set the desktop pattern you would likely get a grey screen. Have you tried moving the cursor or a window around the other screen. Try dragging the cursor along the length of each edge of the main screen, looking for it to pop into the RCA display.
