I connected my X850 Xt(Soft modded to 16 pipes) to my TV with s-video. I am using the newest Omega drivers. It all works fine expcet that it does not play videos. When I try to play a video using any media player(I prefer VLC) it just shows up black. Just blank.

Summary: That's an "s-video - RGB" cable. So, assuming the TV-out on the card is s-video, you'd use the RGB inputs on the plasma TV. You should be able to configure resolution settings separately for the monit...
