I have started constructing a VGA - RGB Scart lead and have the RGB
signal connections completed but it's not working and it seems I
have got to supply a small switching voltage to one of the Scart
pins to force the TV into RGB mode and have not got round to doing
that yet. Xmas has got in the way of things a bit :-) Rumour is that
that is the way to TV display Nirvana.

Are you using http://www.idiots.org.uk/vga_rgb_scart/ or similar?
Another useful bit of information is that on some graphics cards you
can get 5V from VGA pin 9. With my R9200SE that worked as function
select via the 100R resistor as shown, but I also connected it to
SCART pin 8, which should have selected 16:9, and for some reason
that bit didn't work.

Yep, basically that site plus an eye on this one -
http://ryoandr.free.fr/english.html. The unfortunate problem is that for
some obscure reason the VGA plug I am using has the pin missing that carries
the 5V feed (Christ knows why!?) so I'm a bit buggered at the moment and
will have to repeat the job with a whole new cable or plug or find another
temporary source for my switching voltage, even if it's just a couple of AA
cells cellotaped together for now. I even have a 75 and 100 ohm resistor in
preparation but no bloody power feed :-(( I'll probably get round to
completing the job, at least as a makeshift prototype, later this week and
will post any further results as they come in.
