jnr-e asked wistfully...

|| I have a Geforce4 MX440, 64RAM etc. etc. its tv-out port is an
|| S-Video one.
||
|| When I hook it up to the TV, the res on the screen is kinda
|| shocking, sure DVD playback looks great, and game playing, but the
|| desktop environment etc. - i've read places that TV's res is to be
|| set at 720x400 or something like that, however, in XP - I have no
|| way to change to that resolution.
||
|| Have tried programs such as TvTool and TVCC (TV control center), but
|| they dont seem to pick up the card.
|| How do I get to this resolution? (I am using nVidia 40.72 Detonator
|| Drivers)
||
|| jnr-e

TV's only have six hundred or so dots across the screen, you wont get a
useable display for anything other than games or DVD. The reason is that an
overlay is used as opposed to using your screen resolution which  must. by
virtue of the device you're displaying on, be set low.
