I have an ATI Radeon 9600XT video card. My monitor is connected to the DVI output. There are also VGA output and a 9-pin S-VIDEO (MINI DIN-9)
I want to connect it to my telly which has a component YPrPb input and a composite input. As according to this page the 9-pin connector has a composite output I decided to buy a MINI DIN-9 to composite cable. It was chinese and it didn't work because the ground wasn't connected at all and the signal was connected to a wrong pin. So I took the MINI DIN-9 connector from the chinese cable, a composite yellow male connector and a 6m coaxial cable and connected it as shown on the page I linked to above (the middle rod of the composite connector to pin 8 of the MINI DIN and the GND of the composite connector to the MINI-DIN's pin 3 (Yes I see this is a female pinout and I have connected the ground to the MIRROR side of the male connector, e.g. the same side looking at the pins from the back side
)
And I measured it with a multimeter, all right. But it doesn't work - blue screen and telly says no signal. Tested it with two tellys![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Maybe this videocard has another pinout?
If I have enough time tommorrow I'll test if there is any signal that looks like composite on any of the pins (There should be a chromitance, luminance and composite outputs) with my Tek 2465A oscilloscope...
