Is the fuzzy image at least centered now? :-)
Well I havn't decided to install it in SuSE yet because I wanted to now figure out the fuzzy problem. But yes on POST its centered!
Do you have a diagnostics / calibration image available to confirm the display settings?
The display is fuzzy even durring POST. Its not an OS / Driver issue.
Do you have the right size and impedance cable?
Not knowing much about it I can't answer that. I did pay 30 bucks for it and its about 3 ft long and its svideo to av jack. With gold plated ends it says! Thats good right? Oxygen Free, Solid Copper Conductors, Multi-Shield Design .. as per the packaging.
Have you tried swapping out for new or shorter cables and/or removing any splitters, extenders, etc.?
The cord is brand new as is the video card. There are not splitters / extenders. Its one straight cord from svideo to av. Funny thing is the other card just had composate out and I was using a cheap $5 cable with a clear (but off center) image.
Have you tried mild soapy water on the screen? :-)
There is dust 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?
Well its a GForce2 TI Pro 64mb. I bought it about 4-5 years ago maybe. At 50 bucks a year I could have a whole family of gf4mx440's hooked up to all my tv's!
Can you tell I'm getting bitter?
At least you're not "gonna cry"... I hope? :-)
