why is this driver arn't comfortable as DNA?

Meirson454 · May 19, 2004, 02:36 AM

maybe they are the fastes, but they arn't good in video mode, something that DNA are better.

i.e
if i want to watch a movie on my big expensive tv, i just enable tv mode, and boom, i can see the movie in full screen, and keep working on my pc, and yes, i minimize the player, and keep on working without getting "deform" display.

ffs, now i need to re install DNA.

omega, put more heart into it.(please.)

and if u are truly the man, do it in this current version.(a little update.)

Ok, after all this flaming,

Can you please post the exact details of your problem so I can try to help you?

which player are you using? b/c several of them just don't agree with fullscreen TV modes at all (winamp has a few problems with fullscreen, for example)

no no, u get me wrong mate.
listen, when i had DNA(2444 version) , everytime i wanted to watch a movie, i would have done thos steps:

right click on desktop->properties->settings->advance->displayes
and enable tv.

now when i do that, my tv has becom my second monitor, so far so good.
but!
when i double click a movie, any movie, with any player(BS, media player, quicktime, zoomplayer), the tv was instantly becom full screen and u can see the movie.
no matter if i minimize the player, or shrink it to 2 by 2, the tv was the same, and u can surf and chat etc'.

now that's what i had in DNA drivers, ans this feature is to valuable to give up.

so i already send omega pm and explain to him what's the prob, i hope he wil answer me.

EDIT:emm, i need to apologize for misleading u, i mean it's like "my second monitor", its i figure of speech, u see, its not really make the tv to a second monitor, but it is.(u can see on tv same as the monitor.)
i should have said, duplicate my monitor.

once again, sorry.

oh...ok......somehow this almsot sounds more like a bug in the DNA drivers then a feature.....if the TV is your second monitor, it shouldn't lock in fullscreen liek that

maybe try change overlay options in omega so your tv only shows movies

Meirson454 · May 19, 2004, 12:28 PM

i can see movies in my tv, but in dna it was perfect, i dont wanna settle with less comfort.

if omega will add it, the better, if not, il go dna when the new version wil out.

as u guys can see, with dna its pure fun, with omega, not such a treat...

I know what you mean Meirson, I have the same thing. It's not really a problem just more hassle.

I think it is "Theatre Mode" that you are after. You can enable it by going to the Overlay tab, click on Clone Mode Options, and enable Theatre Mode. If the DNA Drivers have it enabled that way by default, then that is a bug\feature with the DNA Drivers, and not the way ATi or Omega does it.

As he said, maybe KS enabled Theater mode by default, I don't and I will not do it, this is a per-user setting and I can't force people to run an overlay at full screen all the time in the second display unless he chooses to.
