Scale to panel problems (switching)

Toobster · Sep 25, 2005, 07:21 PM

Hi!

I have recently gotten problems with my Radeon 9200 thats in my HTPC. It's connected via DVI to my Sanyo Z2 projector and I use 1280x720 resolution (widescreen).

Now when I enter fullscreen mode of a videoplayer (WMP, WMPclassic, Win DVD) something rescales the graphics to 4:3 mode! However it keeps the resolution so the graphics gets really squashed. In order to get it back I have to click the "Scale to panel..." button in the controlpanel. It doesn't matter if that button is on or off just as long as I click it in scales to the right aspect ratio. But when I go into fullscreen mode it just f*cks the ratio again.

Have any one experienced this?

I'm getting kind of desperate.

What display driver (from whom and version...) are you using and what are the 'View' settings for each of the media players you are using (WMP ver. ?, WinDVD)?

Catalyst version: 05.8
2D version 6.14.10 6561

I haven't set any special settings in any mediaplayer. Also if I open an .jpg in the builtin image viewer and choose slideshow then it rescales..

also If I am in fullscreen mode and gets out of it, it jumps to 4:3 mode.

I wonder if It can be a hardware problem?

Any click at Scale to panel sets it right again...

You might try toggling the 'Alternate DVI Operational Mode' setting from the Advanced display settings, Options tab, within the video driver control panel - then checking settings on your projector to see what differences occur...
