nVidia 8500gt further question...
card works good, but i know that this probabbly doesn't work, but can my 8500gt make mac to be S-Video compatible? is there some software out there? I've used the latest nvinstaller installation 9F23 (9f23 Intel/ATI/Nvidia/OpenGL installer)..

It's possible by using an NVCAP, but in my experience, it may cause more problems than it's worth.
I'll put up a guide on how to get the NVCAP for your card and how to apply it should you need the info. I do, however, recommend trying EFI string for your card first by using EFIStudio which is included on the iPC DVD. Make sure that when you do, you do not have an injector installed when applying the EFI string.

I have one 8500GT and i played alot with it. Though it works great, natively supported just with efi string, i couldn't make the tv/s-out.. i have tried zillion nvcap methods and i just couldn't make it work, also my 8600GT and 8800GTS (G80). Neither one worked with tv-out. So i just gave up on tv-out. If someone has a solution for it, good you mentioned delian7, i'd be also happy to hear it.

Were you using a VGA or DVI output while trying the TV-out? If so, you may want to only try attaching to just the TV-out. Perhaps even try hotplugging as well.

No, I mean, do you have any monitors hooked up to the DVI or VGA port when trying to get output from the TV-out? If so, disconnect those monitors.
