Hi

I'm trying to get this up and running and I'm having a few issues.  I was 
hoping someone could lend a hand.

My equipment:

ATI Radeon 9000
27" ESA (Circuit City) TV
S-Video connection (although I'm also trying component)
Windows 2K Professional
AdvanceMAME .90

Download/unzip AdvanceMAME.  Run advmame to generate a config file.  Take 
out everything except for the roms directory.  I also put in 
device_video_clock 5 - 50 / 15.73 / 60.  Then I run svgawin /l.  Then I 
need to run advcfg, correct?  I run that, select TV NTSC, then select 
Generic - NTSC TV.  Then I get a choice of centering.  Any of the three 
choices gives me the error message, "Calibration mode unsupported.  The 
video mode is incompatible with the monitor limitations." and it kicks me 
back to a cmd prompt.  So automatic configuration doesn't work.

I then run advv.  I get a few pages of settings, most of which are dark 
blue (reads "out of range" in red in the bottom right) and about 13 light 
blue ("programmable").  I've tried about a half dozen and so far each one 
causes the TV to go black and I have to reboot the computer on a monitor 
to get it back.  Do I need to try each one?  Has anyone had success with 
this card/configuration?  What can I do to troubleshoot this?  

Thanks.

Jim
