I'll try to take some pics and post soon. Thanks.

Here is my setup using component inputs using an ATI Dongle.

I think that people are confusing RGB inputs and component inputs which are NOT the same thing. In North America (can't speak for elsewhere) a component input (as stated above by Testicle) is YPbPr or more commonly referred to as YCbCr. These inputs carry the Luma ("luminance") and Chroma signals. See Wikipedia herehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YCbCr People are often confused because the typical colours of the RCA jacks used for component inputs are red, green and blue.

RGB inputs on the other hand typically require more than three connections to carry the vertical and horizontal sync etc. Sometimes a composite sync signal can also be carried on "Green".

When you hook up your composite cable to the "Green" RCA jack of a component input you are actually hooking up (I think but can't confirm) to the Luma input.

As far as the SCART standard, I have no idea, but I believe that it is a type of true RGB input. Component inputs can be considered "inferior" to true RGB inputs.

Hope this helps.

Yah. And luma carries the sync signal.
I can't guess why the gun is jittering, unless it just doesn't like what its "seeing."

SCART's a catch-all connector. It DOES carry a 4-line RGBSync signal.
And composite video, chroma/luma, and stereo audio.
