PowerBook won't detect my television?

steve

I wanted to run SNES9X on the big screen, so I hooked an S-Video cable from the back of my machine to the hub where it connects to my television. For some reason, it never seemed to detect it, even by pressing that double-square button on the top of the keyboard.



What's going on? <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />

restart ?

paul

are you in OS X?



if you are try pressing detect displays in the monitors menu...



if that does not work then the TV is probably not being recognized because something on the TV's end is not working



defiant... while im sure he appreciates the attempt... maybe you should have refrained from posting that "suggestion"... i doubt it helped... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

THANKS, Defiant! Looks like all I needed to do was restart. Now I can enjoy SNES9X on my Trinitron.

Okay, I just had to see Paul hang his head in shame. Now, more realistically...



Yes, I am running Jag. And I did press the button. However, I am running this app full-screen. Does this do anything? I know that when I am running WarCraft III full-screen, the other display just appears black. I just want to mirror this time, though.

heh, try plugging everything in while in the finder, no other apps open and clicking on the ditect displays button, if the display is detected then click on turn on mirroring...

one point for me, one for you.

if you are still having problems, maybe you should just switch to the RCA cable adapter that came with your TiBook so you can plug the PB into the "yellow" plug in the video section of your TV... then follow the steps...
