S3 Virge TV support

[Alkimista]

I've got a S3 Virge GX2 Graphic card, but when I install the "official
driver" I can't select the TV support in the advanced options of the screen.
What can i do to turn it on? or... where can I found proper drivers to do
this?

Thanks,

Hi

You`ve probably already got the correct drivers, but need to `turn on ` the
TV feature.
Here`s some comments that I`ve found to do this:-

The TV out for the s3 gx2 is a Dos Application and all other windows drivers
will not work on
win ME.

CONNECT A TV OR VCR CABLE TO S3 OUTPUT CARD BEFORE EXECUTING DOS COMMAND
BELOW.

DOS COMMAND

S3CRTTV.EXE N TON (TURNS ON TV MODE)
S3CRTTV.EXE N TOFF(TURNS OFF TV MODE)

Note
1> "n" for nstc TV system, substitute "p" for pal TV system.

H Duane. thanks
