Now why didn't this work...

Postby Wing Nut » Tue Dec 05, 2006 3:51 pm

I was messing around today trying to hook my computer to my TV and can't seem to get it done.  I have an ATI graphics card with an S-video output on the back, so I ran a cable from it to the TV, but no picture.  It would be nice to fly FS on my 36" TV, even if it won't look as good.  Besides, I want to watch (legal) movies...  ;)

Did you do anything with the graphics card drivers to make it multiscreen? if you didn't its probably not going to work, you have to enable multi monitors I believe and then see if it works, I have a nvidia card so I can't be of much use here...  For nvidia users you just detect displays in the driver settings and it finds everything thats hooked up, and you can set it up there

Sorry I cant be much help.... any ATI users around?
