I've already bought a new nvidia card. And wouldn't my luck follow me. The svideo out to my tv is fuzzy. I think its time to do what all those commercials say. Give up my day job and become a trades person :)
Hi Shawn, Is the fuzzy image at least centered now? :-) Do you have a diagnostics / calibration image available to confirm the display settings? Do you have the right size and impedance cable? Have you tried swapping out for new or shorter cables and/or removing any splitters, extenders, etc.? Have you tried mild soapy water on the screen? :-)
Good luck to anyone else trying to use a still usefull nv card that cost over $200 at the time on SuSE.
I once stretched out the useful life of a $300(?)US rev. 1 14" NEC MultiSync (EGA) monitor to 15 years. That still worked out to twenty bucks a year. How old is the earlier card? Did you have it working correctly under 10.0?... under 9.3?
Can you tell I'm getting bitter?
At least you're not "gonna cry"... I hope? :-) Carl
