PC resolution gets less when TV on

tempo7171 · Mar 8, 2008, 08:12 PM

I have XP SP2, HD Radeon 2400, Omega 3.8.442

the problem i have is that normally the resolution on the pc monitor is 1280x1024, but when I connect a tv to the tv-out this turns back to 1024x768. The real problem in this is that I have connected a wireless TV transmitter (marmitek) to my TV out. This is always on, so my resolution is always set back. Only when i disconnect the tv out I can set the resolution back to 1280x1024.

Before the HD2400 I had the Sapphire radeon 9550 and i know there were some Omega versions which let me have 2 seperate resolutions at the same time.

How is this possible in the new omega versions?

You need to use the extended desktop mode not the clone mode for the TV. I think that you can change it in the CP.

on a related note.
I run my LCD at 1440x900, my tv-out works great at 1024x768 using clone mode. However If I reboot or if I play a game my main screen LCD goes back to 1024x768 and I have to turn off the tv-out, change the screen size and then change it again back to 1440x900. It used to retain all these settings a couple of versions ago.
using latest omega drivers.
