I too am having trouble with video out. My display only comes in black
and white. I, however, am using an ATI Radeon X800Pro. I seem to have
this problem system wide (dual booting Windows XP and FC4). I'm using a
standard svideo cable to RF (yellow) plug, and running the cable to the
tv. Any ideas?
