I'm trying to use the tvout on my card to use my tv as a seperate display, but for some reason I can't find an option to disable clone mode. I might be missing something obvious, but I simply can't find out how to set it to it's own display. In the display tab under the monitor info it shows the 2 buttons to clone and seperate, but clicking them does absolutely nothing no matter what I do (they just act like I'm not clicking them at all). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Nobody knows? It's possible with any dual ramdac nvidia card, are all ati's cards limited to clone mode in tvout even though they also have 2 ramdacs? I've found nothing anywhere on this. Some people say ATi's tvout ability is the best but I don't understand how it's great if it can't use the tvout as a seperate display.
Yeah I did, but I haven't found anything in hydravision either. I just see the same sort of functionality that's in nview and virtual desktops, but no option of setting tvout to a second display instead of cloning the first or anything related to tvout.
right click desktop go to properties settings tab click the box with the number 2 click extend my windows desktop to this monitor
I've done this and every variation of it, when I click apply it actually just fades out again like I've done nothing. It also says display 1 is "multiple displays" (cloned) when the tvout is enabled, there is no effect.
I seriously don't think you can. I had this same problem trying to set up my TV as a second monitor. The max resolution for my tv detected was 1024x768 and in order to view the whole screen on my desktop on my tv without panning I had to set my computer's resolution to 1024x768, which was unaccectable. I tried so many variations but could never set my computer monitor at one resolution and my tv monitor at another. Extended the desktop just make the tv look nasty, so I have basically resigned to not using my tv out till I get a nice HDTV.
Yeah that's exactly the same as my problem. on my old FX5200 I could even do this but I can't do it with a 9700 of the same generation.. kind of lame.
