Enabling composite-out in a video card.

2011-05-03 Thread Chris Rees
OK, so in what can only be described as a ridiculous shot in the dark...

I've got my Macbook running as a server under my TV, and I was trying
to connect the video-out to the TV.

However... my mini-DVI-VGA plugged into the VGA-composite adaptor
isn't working (surprise surprise)

Is there a command can put in to force TV-out through VGA (through DVI?)?

read the man page for the Xorg driver, you may need to enable it in the 
xorg.conf. I guess you are running freeBSD???

D'oh, thanks!

Oh dear, I must have looked really clueless. Yes I am!
