    Hi all! i was wondering how dvi output works, i recently bought a sager 5796 and im not sure how this output works, i used to use VGA to s-video, i know this one is too strong and you would need a converter to change it to s-video (also, was wondering if the apple dvi to s-video converter they made for the radeon x1900 would work), but my question is is it only dvi-to-hdmi that you can do? theres no way to do a composite output? and also, theres an hdmi-out on the computer, if dvi only goes to hdmi why would they put both?

    thank you very much for any help in advance.
