I connected my DEll laptop (with Radeon 9000) to a TV. I set up output
as PAL-I
(since i am in UK). I am using a 4-pin s-video to svideo cable, then
svideo to scarts adaptor.

No suprise, I get the black-white output on my TV when I connect them
tight.
The picture is clear and stable , only is BW.

But the wired thing is, if I let the svideo cable with the scarts
adaptor loose a bit. I do get a colored output. but the picture
quality is poor, some lines are moving on the TV screen?

Any one know why?

Thanks

Have you also set your output to PAL in the bios of your laptop? Maybe the
bios setting is still set to NTSC.

TV-out is a weird thing. Usually when I get a black and white picture, I
just remove and reinsert the S-video connector on the TV and it pops back up
in color.
