[clug] ATI video out?

[Neil Pickford]

When he says to short out the s-video - the card is really looking for 
around a 75 ohm load (termination).  When it sees a load it then thinks 
something is connected to the video or S-VHS output

Shorting it is a bit brutal - as 75 ohms is not a standard E12 resistor 
value then 68 or 82 ohms will do.
