I believe most people are using two monitors, one for Amiga video output and one for graphics card output. In your case it will just be a TV for Amiga video output and a monitor for graphics card output.

There is no problem in connecting a TV at the same time as you got a monitor connected to your BVision.

The best solution will be to have a scandoubler and the graphics card connected to a switch box. This way you can use one monitor for both video outputs. When you load some software that can't be displayed through graphics card you just switch, and as soon as you quit to Workbench, just switch back.

NOTE: The scandoubler is only needed in case your monitor can't display 15 Hz screens. Some new monitors are able to go down to 15 Hz, such as my Medion 15" TFT monitor.

---EDIT---

Nope, the Amiga video output isn't passed through to your graphics card. If it was so you would be able to see games loaded from disk through your graphics card, but unfortuanately this isn't the case :-(

Cheers doctorq
I just thought the software routed the output the the BVision just like some of the early 3D cards for the PC.
No wonder i couldnt see anything.
Now i'll have to change rooms.

The fun gets better !! When you install CGFX then search for the option to keep Amiga video. When you run the Amiga then keep your Workbench in Bvision mode !! When you then run a program in AGA mode then the picture of your Workbench will stay at the monitor that is connected to the Bvision and on the other monitor that is connected to the video output you will then see your AGA program, such as DirOpus for example. You can then work with two different screens !! Doesn´t work for all programs but it does for utilities !! It´s really cool !!  :lol:
