Hi I've got an Asus AGP MX440 and am using the composite output, direct into my tv. I run Mythtv on the tv and use my computer on my monitor. I can't see any problems on the tv screen with bars or anything, although at 1024x768 the text is a bit unreadable on the desktop, although I expected that. The manual I have does specify "If the correct connector cable is connected, S-Video out will generally provide a higher quality output than Composite video out." I can't test this at the moment because although I have an S-Video connector at both ends I don't have an S-Video cable and am actually unsure if the picture could look any better anyway. I am not sure if this is strictly on topic, but I can't use the mouse on the TV, it doesn't scroll across to the other screen (a separate desktop) and although the keyboard works on that screen when mythtv is started if I select something on the monitor using the mouse the keyboard switches to that and I don't know how to switch it back.
Any help would be appreciated Best Regards Trev On Friday 11 Mar 2005 00:56, cythraul wrote: > I too have an AGP 440MX manufactured by XFX.
