Clone Screen Problem

atzitzy · May 23, 2006, 08:45 AM

I only get the boot screen on my tv
and when the windows logo comes up it switches to my monitor

Bit of a shot in the dark, as I'm not sure if this is necessary for displaying through the TV, but have you's made sure both display adapters are enabled in device manager?

Start/run/devmgmt.msc

atzitzy · May 23, 2006, 10:11 AM

Yes they are
but i never see a "tv adapter"
theres only
radeon x800/x850 series and radeon x800/x850 series secondary

Under Display adapters, that's all you will see. The only other area you will see things related to the video card will be those items installed with the WDM under Sound, video, and game controllers farther down the list.

Those having problems getting the TV OUT to work, I need to ask this:

Do you already have TWO monitors connected to your system? Do both show up as ENABLED when you go to the Settings where you can see the two monitor icons above where you set your Desktop Resolution?

TV OUT can only be active when only ONE monitor is Enabled. You cannot have both monitors active plus TV OUT as the video card can only do two displays at a time.

Check the properties for both radeon x800/x850 series and radeon x800/x850 series secondary under display adapters to see if they are enabled or if they report an error.

There's always the chance the card might be malfunctioning. Has this ever worked?

atzitzy · May 24, 2006, 11:25 AM

they are both enabled without errors
and no i've never managed to have 2 screens at one time

As for 2 monitors, no
i only have one monitor and a tv

dataschmuck · May 24, 2006, 04:34 PM

Try this:

Right click desktop, go to properties.
Click the settings tab.
Click the monitor with the number 2 on it.
click the checkbox that says "extend my windows desktop onto this monitor".
click apply.

Tell us what happens.

This is the only way I can get my monitor and TV to work properly at the same time on my x800 Pro with Omegadrivers.
Otherwise when I put my display in Clone mode, it makes the computer think that my CRT monitor is a TV and limits the resolution up to 1024X768 @60Hz.

Using the default drivers with CCC clone mode works fine. I think it's just an ATT thing.

Liqourice · May 24, 2006, 10:46 PM

Don't know about that. I've been able to clone with both Omega/ATT and CCC, no problem at all.

Though, I don't know if it's possible to clone more than 1024x768. If you have a higher res on the monitor, the tv res will be lower. I have the desktop at 1152x864 and can't get the tv higher than 800x600. If I set the desktop to 1024x768 I can have the same on the TV. I guess it's limited by the maximum res the card can do which is, in my case, 2048x1536.

Dyre Straits · May 25, 2006, 12:16 AM

I have no problem setting my Desktop to 1280x1024 and still get TV Out working. The problem is that the TV OUT is limited to 1024x768 and becomes a 'virtual' screen....meaning that, as I move my mouse from edge to edge of my Desktop, the screen on the TV moves about.

atzitzy · May 25, 2006, 09:28 AM

When i try to extend it to the second screen, it just goes back to as it was before i clicked apply

hårdnackad · May 26, 2006, 08:04 PM

regarding my problem, i returned my card. after having a bunch of skilled people looking at my problem. at the moment i have an old radeon 9200se card, works fine with cloning the screen. but ofcourse i can't play any games with it. i get back with a report when i get my new card back.

Hi,

i also heve a problem with TV-Out.
P4 520, C3D GTO, Enermax 565P, MSI 915G, 2x512 Corsair Value PC4200, etc.

The power botton is gray here and i cant extend my desktop. When i tick it, it untick as soon as i press apply.

I was using Omega 6.5 but i turn it back to 6.3 after this and the problem is still here.

Everything is just fine with the cablles...i can figure out what a hell is this.

Any sugentions wil be appreciated!

Sorry about the double post but i cant paste with Firefox...

XP install the WDM after the Omega's instalation!!!

Found a parcial solution. Iv instaled the oficial Catalys 6.5 and it dont work.
After that, i checked my cables again and change the out cable.
My cable have 4 signal outs, 2 rca yellows and 2 S-video. With the anothe S-Video out it works but i was using the other one before...

Soon i'll try this with Omega's 6.5...

[color=Lime] Edite again from here:[/color]
The latest Omega has a bug. When i tick to estend the desktop(after tick Fonrce TV and enable the TV-Out) ... pressing the apply, it untick the extend and disable the TV-Out.

It work with Catalyst and dont work with Omega, simple like that.

Well, i'm back to Catalyst.
Good luck.

Is this a question or comment? I'm not sure.

However, just in case, you WILL need to install the WDM device drivers after installing the Omegadrivers. The WDM download is located on Omega's site where the other drivers are.

That's a comment. I'll try this right NOW. Thanks

Well, nothing happens. It dosnt work at all.

RatusNatus · Jun 7, 2006, 03:46 PM

DHZerOPoint 6.4 works.
I think the problem is on Omega's CC.

Just to add some info. Iv made a huge driver's updates on my PC.
Omega's 6.3 was working with no problem issue but right now it wont work anymore(i tried).
Why? I dont know but the only new thing related with this driver is .NetFrame 2.0.
I have installed 1.1, 1.1 hotfix, 1.1 language pack(brazilian) and NOW 2.0.
Iv instaled 2.0 and Omega's 6.5 in the very same day.

I think the problem came from that.

ROBSCIX · Jun 7, 2006, 06:57 PM

Might be helpful but certain TV's need to be "tuned" to the AV or the S-video inputs. I had a similar issue until I figured I had to change the channel until S-VID was displayed. AS for playing games on a TV DX games default to the PRIMARY monitor. I am not sure if that applies with Clone mode. IF you can get the BIOS to come up on the TV when it boots up that's great you know it CAN work if you get the settings right.

RatusNatus · Jun 8, 2006, 04:06 PM

Rob, it wont help me...

How can i install omega driver and CCC? Can i do that?

ROBSCIX · Jun 8, 2006, 05:19 PM

Did you ever have this working? I also use Dual monitors, I find CCC is great for tweaking them up..
Just trying to help

RatusNatus · Jun 10, 2006, 04:04 PM

I was working with Omega 6.3 but after install the .Net 2.0 and Omegas 6.5 even the 6.3 wont work anymore.

I'm using DHZ 6.4 and its fine but omegas 6.5 is a lot better on BF2.

Thanks for the replly!

ROBSCIX · Jun 10, 2006, 04:58 PM

@ RAT, after you installed .NET 2.0 6.5 wouldn't work?

RatusNatus · Jun 11, 2006, 04:20 PM

I think thats it cuz iv installed the .NET 2.0 and Omega driver 6.5 in the same day.

ROBSCIX · Jun 11, 2006, 05:48 PM

That's what I am asking. OK you installed 6.5 and it worked correct? then you install .Net 2.0 and tried to install 6.5 again and it didn't work?

Mikaq · Jun 12, 2006, 07:16 PM

Hi

I got this little problem that I would like to get rid off. Before I upgrade to 6.5 drivers, my tv-out worked in clone mode great. Now it isnt working almost at all. Why almost?

Previous drivers I used on my monitor 1600x1200 resolution and my TV was in clone mode, which is in 1024x768 mode of course, because it is max resolution for tv-out in X800 XL. Now with new drivers when I set tv on clone mode, it changes monitor resolution also in 1024x768.

So I would like know if it is possible get working with these drivers like it worked older drivers. I would like to use these drivers if problem is possible to fix. I could use extended mode, but it is frustrating when I play games where I dont use r1600x1200, it sometimes "throws" windows on tv, because desktop is extended to tv.

I hope that I made some sense
