Video out to TV - problems
I am having trouble sending video to my TV with my Macbook.
My system:
Macbook G4 with OSX 10.4.11
My TV:
Sony Trinitron 32" (late model CRT) with component/composite/svideo
-I have the video adapter to convert the Mini DVI out to composite video.
-Upon reboot, system detects TV as 2nd display
-Something gets shown on the TV, a grey repeated mishmash which is still (not in motion)
-System selects 640x480/60hz as resolution for new 2nd display.
-Upon selecting "Detect Displays" (for the **** of it), the system loses connection with the tv (2nd display not recognized). I can only get a 2nd display detected when doing a reboot. Why is that?
-When cycling through the various resolutions and refresh rates, the grey mishmash on the TV changes, and you can see parts of the desktop peek through.
-Going through all the available resolutions and refresh rates without any success on the TV.
-Tried to search online for resolution and refresh rate information on the TV, not much success.
