Do any of the mobo's you're interested in have a composit video out (RCA) connection. If so, grab one of these: http://www.carconverters.com.au/product ... r/236.html
I use one of these for the video output from my headunit. Works fine.

Yeah, that's the exact unit that I've got already, with the 2 x RCA inputs already used and the RGB passthrough the only input left.
I'd effectively need a 3-RCA input version of that same unit.... Lukeyson |

Ahh, you're just being greedy now.
You need a remote controllable, RCA switcher. Or some sort of surveillance camera system, where like 4 camera appear on screen at once.

What a minute. Old mate at the powerstrip forum has just responded again. He says the missing bit IS within powerstrip, and not necessarily with the card itself.
So if I can get the normal display driver to switch the card to 640x480 interlaced first, then I might be able to use Powerstrip to get me the rest of the way with the timings. I might give this a try on my old 810 system first...... Lukeyson |

Surely there's an alterative program/driver to do this for you. I can't think of one, that'd be because powerstrip is the hoover of the graphics world.

Ahh , er, ok then, maybe I won't try it on an 810e machine first.

Old mate from Intel has also replied, regarding Interlacing on the 945GC chipset (mainly on a D945GCLF2 mainboard)
" In order to answer your inquiry, this motherboard supports interlacing in all the VGA video modes. The lowest video mode that supports interlacing is 640x480. " I've asked mr Intel if interlaced modes are available from the Intel driver in the 945, because they're not there in the 810e. Lukeyson |

Some Russian dude on mp3car made me pump his whole Russian webpage through a Google translator to pick out some information on Post #25 of one of this threads.... It uncovered a German utility called 'soft-15khz' that currently has experimental support for the GMA900 seeries video chipsets - and once again has given the google german-to-english translator a good workout. It just so happens that the 945GC has a GMA950 in it. It doesn't work with the older 800 series though, so no testing on my 810 I'm afraid. This is a pretty new utility that the Arcade boys have been using to setup their ability to natively support the resolutions that some of the old games had. They're complaining that Intel have a limit of 5 custom resolutions that can be loaded at any one time in the GMA chipsets. Which, since we're after only a single res, won't bother me in the slightest. Anyway, I've located an active English Forum that the developer appears to use and signed up, and will ask some questions when the admin 'authorises' me. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=66402.0 So we now have two possible options, depending on responses and results...

I have an affirmative response from Soft-15khz. It appears that it can do what we're asking of it.
This is the green-flag I've been hoping for (or if any of you think I'm a bull, the red flag....). So it's time to get serious. Unfortunately the Intel Board I'm after is in short supply - even our supplier at work won't have new stock in until late Jan. So I'm on a mission to get a MoBo to try it out. I'm not having much luck with the SatNav Bracket so I may have to make one for myself - I currently have a request in to measure one but we'll see how I go. It may be a matter of just playing hit and miss till I get something that works. Lukeyson |

You obviously don't care 
What's the exact model of the board you're after? I'll do some searching.

I can get you a 10 pack
But otherwise, as you say, they're as rare as rocking horse s**t. Until the 20th. That's only next week though.

Actually, I looked it up today, I have a date of the 20th as well. That's not so bad. It's moved forward from early Feb actually.

I have access to a Fujitsu Minibook with an ATOM CPU and 945 chipset. I've had a bit of a struggle with getting the external VGA to recgnise that a screen is connected, and found a fault in my test wire-loom, but I'm getting close.
Just not close enough.... Does anyone know what this is a symptom of?: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=rdfBbxnxtdQ The CSync signal is just a tied hsync and vsycn so I may have a hsync problem. (I will fix one day with this: http://www.tkk.fi/Misc/Electronics/circ ... 2rgbs.html) I may also have an interlace problem since I have no guarantee that Interlace is on. Screen output was attempted at 15.7kHz Horzontal Refresh, 60 Hz Interlaced Vertical Refresh, 640x480, both 16bit and 32bit colour. Lukeyson
