600x TV out

#1 Post by glenn778 » Mon Sep 24, 2007 1:15 am

I bought a TV out card for my 600x and obtained a cable. I hooked everything up but no signal out. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Is there a special key combo I need to push? I know it is not FN F7, that is for an external monitor. Any help would be appreciated.

lmk,

What is the name of the card? Do you have the drivers for it?

I think you need to activate this feature in the IBM config. utility.

Incidentaly, is the card you installed FRU 10L1352?

What OS are you using, Glen?

In W2K, you have to use Microsoft's driver, not IBM's.

The settings are in the display properties.

You also must have the laptop connected to the TV and the TV on, before powering up the 600X.
