What video card do you have in the DA and what outputs does it have? If it has DVI, then you need a DVI to composite adapter, though heed the note linked in the thread above.

The DA  has an  ATI Radéon 9000 pro (ADC /DVI)... already have a DVI to VGA  adapter, just need the video .
My  TV has  PERITEL plug, i'll  try to find a plug and play  vga/peritel adapter ( not so easy...)

Thanks

Most likely you will need some sort of converter.  

Lots of information on these pages:

Alternatively you could fine a used PCI video card that already has video out.

Well, I've checked the links and am still no wiser.

I'm sure it's nothing to do with the hairstyle that men wore when I was a teenager, but what does DA stand for?  Thinking.gif

And the first response is certain to leave me sitting here with a very red face oops.gif

It's a colloquial term we Yanks use for an attorney who works for a local government: District Attorney. You don't want to make them an enemy...eek2.gif nono.gif scram.gif

And you should have a strange feeling! Just because she has one doesn't mean that's the right answer! rant.gif I have an iMac, that stands for Interesting Machine, a Computer. And I can prove that's correct because I have one! laughhard.gif

And, as further "proof" I suggest this book mentioned <at this link>. tongue.gif

How do you know I'm a woman?  Because I said so?  Because you saw a "picture" of me that I uploaded?  Huh, huh?   unsure.gif
