G3 AV Wont let me use onboard video in with Rage PCI

#1 Tue, 22 Mar 2011 - 23:31

I got a stumper of a question

I got my nice G3 MT with the Wings AV Card Installed- I have a decent Rage PCI installed and im running my 15inch LCD off that monitor. Apple Video Player Wont display the video unless im connected to the Onboard video. Of course I dont have a Mac-VGA Adapter lying around, Im wondering if there is a way around this as I dont want to put a big heavy CRT monitor on my table. I mod original xboxes and the video input is very handy

Interesting; a woman over on Lemswap today has the same problem. You might check with Trag on this forum to see if he has any more of the Mac -> VGA adapters available.

The video/TV module's output is routed directly to the onboard video in hardware, not in software. There's no way of displaying it on a different card.
