I am building a retro game machine because XP won't run all of my old games. I am running an Elsa Gladiac 2 MX with VIVO and outputing to a TV for the monitor. I finally got the thing working with 50.xx series Detonator drivers. The windows games work, but when I go to play a DOS game, the screen turns black and there isn't a picture unless you Alt+TAB back to Windows. Do you know of any settings that will enable me to get a picture in DOS?

I do not think it will as when you shell out to MSDOS Command Prompt it looses the ability to use the TV-out driver built into the Detonator Driver.

I found a website, MS-DOS6.22 and compatible, where at a basic level on a boot floppy he was able to output to TV, but as soon as MS-DOS was installed on a HDD it lost the output.

...and I quote:

"Graphic Cards with S-Video Out may be able to output a signal to a TV, with the latest ATI Radeon 7000AGP 4x Card was able to use a Hitachi TV with S-Video front port as a monitor, fortunately 'autodetection of input source' is a standard feature, though it would only work when booting from a floppy disk. AverMedia External Convertors will enable a TV to be used as a Monitor."
