Verify that you're using the correct break out box. One works as an input while the other works as an output. There should be small arrows which indicate the signal direction above the RCA connections.

Also, please verify which All-In-Wonder card you have:

1) ATI All-In-Wonder X800XL
2) ATI All-In-Wonder X800XT

Also did you remember to enable the secondary monitor?

I have the X800 XT agp and I'm using the right break out box
and no I did not enable a secondary monitor, I did not see any display when I booted so I rebooted with a vga monitor
I'm guessing it only working once windows is loaded?

thanks

Yes, Enabling the secondary monitor is a windows function. You need to be booted up (monitor connected via VGA) and then enable the second monitor via Catalyst Control Center.

well that sucks
I wanted to just use rca and no vga as I'm going to be using the system places where I will not have vga
but I'm sure I can set it up to boot and switch over or something
thanks, I'll give it ago

I'm not a big windows user and I'm new to all in wonder cards. (even tho I had the card for some time)
