tv-out not working ?

higgledyhiggles · Jul 7, 2003, 11:29 AM

Installed the new Omega radeon drivers.
All is well except no TV out. For some reason when I switch to tv out
mode nothing happens, it doesn`t even try to switch it.
I went back to 3.4 (omega) and all is well.

Anyone else got this problem or is it something I did ?

I got a sapphire 9700 pro. windows XP, 1.5gb, athlonXP2400.

thanks

Theres a problem about the order in which things are turned on from memory. IIRC you need to ensure the TV is connected and turned on before powering up your PC

it never needed to be before.
I can connect the cable whenever and its ok on 3.4.
Is this new to 3.5 ?

Nope - just something I remembered reading once over at Rage3D. This was before the Catalyst name was thought up! Try reporting the problem to ATI if it worked with the Cat 3.4's and not the Cat 3.5's
