ATI Drivers

[Or Tsemah]

I'm having a hard time with ATI Drivers.
I have a Radeon 9600xt.
On XP, ATI took a while until releasing a driver that won't reset the
refresh rate when switching displayes between the TV and the monitor (Was
6.3 i think).

Now Vista's driver seem to suffer from the exact problem (7.1) and also the
hotkey manager seem to unload itself (Preventing me from using key
combination to swap displays) at the worst times.

Is anyone else suffer from sideffects with ATI Drivers in VISTA ?

Newest ATI drivers are version 7.3
You might want to give them a shot.

I gave them a shot and they shot back!

7.3 didn't solve my problem with DVD-RAM/VRO files/BSOD. Mine may not be
the problem with my graphics drever, though. Maybe Or Tsemah will have
better luck.

I was reading something about this problem recently, unfortunately do not remember where.
it is a problem with the hardware that drives the svideo output that creates the problem is the way it was described.
not many tvs can process the refresh rate that the monitor can so it is changed accordingly.
for the same reasons the dpi is also changed.

only way I understand out is to get a HD capable card.
the 9600 is pretty old so doubt they will be any attempt to fix it for vista.

S-video can not display HD resollution since the S-video tranmission and reception standard establisehed about 20 year ago is for 4:3 aspect ratio 480i video.so a newer graphics card will not help you at all. The card you currently have just displays a 480i image of your desktop and so will any new card when usiing S-video.
