Evenin' all,
The Story
Right the story is i've got a Connect 3D ATI Radeon 7000 (outputs: VGA/DVI/S-Video), now, the dual display i have setup using the VGA and DVI outs works beautifully, when i connect my tv via the S-Video out that also works fine (can't get tri-display to work, by design i think), i can then extend my display onto the tv, all ok. so whats the problem? well, if i disable S-Video out and enable my second monitor (DVI), whilst leaving the S-Video cable in place, the monitor has a purple tinge, although i like purple i would rather it didn't do this!
The Walkaround
If i disconnect the S-Video cable from the tv leaving the other end connected the the graphics card then the purple monitor goes back to normal, BUT, now it's fuzzy!, if i disconnect the S-Video cable from the graphics card then all is ok, no purple and no fuzziness, great! (nothing personal fuzz
The Question
Is this by design because S-Video aren't supposed to be a permanent fixture or do you think the card is faulty? (quite poss, it is connect 3d after all)
I have tested the above in windows as well as out, it's the same in BIOS if the S-Video cable is connected then the display is purple.
The Specs
XP Pro
PIII 866Mhz
Intel D815EEA 815 (BIOS v A11)
512MB SD PC133 RAM (2 x 256MB)
Connect 3D ATI RADEON 7000 (4X 64MB)
