are you using the latest drivers?

yes,newest drivers from the ati site installed.

Uninstall all ATi drivers you have installed. If you installed drivers from the CD uninstall them all. I had big problems with ASUS drivers.

Do not connect the S-Video cable.

After the few reboots, install drivers from ATi website, reboot again. Let ATi Catalyst load.

After Windows starts, connect the S-Video cable and start ATi Catalyst and set up as you like. When you connect your S-Video cable please unplug your TV.

Also make sure that you connected your monitor on the first connector - if you have two (DVI or SUB).

There should be numbers near the connector on your VGA card. If not consult your manual.

This is really important.

I also have a ATi Radeon X1950 Pro and using S-Video output.

Thanks,

OJi.

I know nVidia drivers have a "Force TV Detection" option enabled, and I'm pretty sure I've seen similar settings in the ATI CCC on my laptop.
