They only work with later-model ATI cards (not even the Radeon 7200s and 7000s I have kicking around). Their newer GPUs are most likely creating component video directly and sending it out the VGA or DVI-I port instead of RGB video. The cheap VGA-to-component and DVI-to-component adapters, I'm guessing, are little more than a handful of connectors wired together. _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (remove the obvious to send mail) (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet?
