There might be some vga cards that can't output an interlaced signal. |

But most should do pretty well. And I'm relatively sure you can't break |
| 14 |
anything by trying it out. Take the modelines from the link I've given |
| 15 |
and just try it out. And I did not talk about the different |
| 16 |
synchronization behaviour (mentioned in the site I've linked, too), but |
| 17 |
that's probably what your adapter does. So I would just give it a try. |
| 18 |
I would do a "hot" plugin and not wait too long if there's no picture |
| 19 |
appearing. No guarantees, though, but at that signal levels it |
| 20 |
shouldn't hurt. People did that before... |
