| I've not had any problems. |

| I am a little worried about the output outside of X. Has anyone yet had a bad experience with a TV breaking down when the i.e. 640x480@60 boot picture is sent to the TV? Is the Wega TV still ok? |

| Having just striped and figured out the wiring for a couple of spare VGA cables, thought I'd share the findings for anyone else having trouble figuring it out... First, note that all grounds seem to be connected so main ground = r ground = b ground = g |

| My TV (Sony Wega) seems to deal with the text mode VGA signal while X isn't running - I get no picture, but there is also no smoke. :) Your mileage may vary of course. |

| I want to put this circuit together to use on my MythTV box (composite is ugly). I know it will work fine in X, but what about when it is booting up and sending a 640x480@60 picture to the TV. What will happen? I don't want it to fry my TV... Cheers. |

| Yes, the nVidia driver release 8756 seems to fix a lot of the problems. The X11 output now appears properly interlaced although an XV stream seems to still get deinterlaced automagically by the card/driver. |

| Is there any more recent progress info regarding the usability of nvidia cards? |

| Did anyone made it work witn Nvidia card? What OS drivers were used? Any additional software (Powerstrip)? |

| Update: the current Linux nVidia drivers (1.0-6111) do support interlaced output. However, I am having problems with the MX440 halving the XV resolution (may be unrelated and may be specific to my hardware). |

| The Linux nVidia drivers (at this time) don't support interlaced modes so it won't produce signals to PAL specs. I understand that the Windows drivers do support interlaced output but I have no idea if you would be able to set the timings to PAL specific |

| Dear Webmaster, I am very happy cause i found this website. I'm a beginner in electricity, and i wonder if this converter is going to work with my Nvidia tnt2 video card. I would be so happy, if u could send me an answer. Bye, Lorinc from Hungary |
