Your right, so far. I've tried with a S-Video -> Scart Adapter myself. 
The problem is, as John wrote, the TV has to accept S-Video. But my TV 
doesn't. Is just has one Scart-Connector. And that only accepts RGB or 
composite.

When I connect the S-Video from the computer via adapter to the TV the 
luminance signal is used, but the chroma gets lost. My picture is black 
and white.

So I want to give the solution mentioned by Terry Barnaby in the "VIA 
Unichrome TV Output HowTO" a try. But therefore the driver must provide 
mode settings for interlaced operation.

And my question is, if that is supported in meantime.

Does anybody know?

Andreas
