ok I got the S3 Virge in along with a K6-2


S3 Virge/Gx2 w/ Tv-out (S-video AND vid-out)







Ok so I plugged it on an old tv I had , it passed through the VCR and hit the TV..

I unplugged the CRT and used the TV as the main monitor for it.......



ok , so the problem is , I cant see in the corners of hte screen and the colors are a bit distorted... What can it be?


PROBLEM 2 :


I installed the driver from DRIVER GUIDE . com and the card was working fine in windows and 2D (winamp visualizations were ok)


Then I click on Halflife/Counter-strike

and it asks for the CD-Key then I start loading a LAN game to try out the graphics on hte LOWEST resolution in SOFTWARE and it crashed...


The specs involved are :

350Mhz AMD K6-2
S3 Virge/Gx2 w/ Tv-out 1X AGP
Soundblaster Vibra 16
SMC 1208T (NIC)
250W AT PSU
AMPTRON 9900TX motherboard.. AGP PRO chipset
128MB RAM


Oh yeah and referring to my last post , even after reinstalling windows (fresh format and everything)

USB Router and VIA USB ...... PCI bridge lalalal nanana

Dang I bought a new video card and it is an ATI RAGE 128 Magnum ... (16MB) Just to replace the S3 VIRGE which crashed when I started making a game in Counterstrike (LAN) to walk around and test it...

Same thing happens with the ATI : but first ...



I install the drivers from ATI . com and then, all anxious to try it I choose my graphics options in CS (started with 800 x 600 OPENGL

ANd then the game crashed to the desktop like the S3 did...

I check DIRECT X and the AGP graphics under DIrect 3d was disabled.....


What is wrong? I believe my S3 would have been ok seeing as the ATI has the same ISSUE!

Thxx

Oh ya and the test in direct3d the box spins REALLY FAST! Too fast to see the corners passing..

I know there is something wrong because I tried it on my other comp (Geforce 2 MX 32MB) and it wasn'T even spinning half as fast as that crap!
