I have a problem with a new radeon hd 7770. Namely, I can't find anywhere option clone for double screens.
Previously I had radeon x1300/x1550 and I had an option clone screens (where on the other screen (tv screen) I haven't had no icons or start line, just blank screen where I can transfer movies and still use desktop for whatever I want). Now, on this card I see only option to duplicate screens, which means that if I want to watch the movie, I have to watch it on a desktop and on tv at the same time. Can you help me with this problem? Is there a solution?

I have 4 options and that's it:
1. "duplicate these displays" which doesn't work for me, because I don't want a movie going simultaneously on desktop screen and on tv,
2. "expand these displays" which doesn't react or it just transfers pic on tv
3. "show desktop only on 1" which displays pic only on tv
4. "show desktop only on 2" which displays pic only on desktop screen

No, not exactly.
Like I said, with previous graphic I had a "clone screen" option, which allowed me to use desktop screen and tv screen at a same time for different things - I could play movie and slide it to a tv screen with mouse and also to have free desktop screen for whatever (surfing or something). On tv screen there weren't icons, there was only desktop image.
I don't know how to explain it better :(

Yes, that's right. I want to watch movie on TV, and browse on desktop screen, but when I pick extend option, the desktop screen turns black :/

Use the "detect" option to see if it detects your desktop screen.. and to what ports are you connecting the displays?

When I use detect, it detect both screens, but both are no. 1 (except when I duplicate them, than it says 1/2 on both screens). I guess that there lies the problem, but I don't know how to solve it.
TV is attached through HDMI cable, and monitor is attached on DVI (using dvi to vga converter).

Well, I can't find it anywhere :/
When I unplug TV, monitor is no. 1, and as soon as I plug in TV, TV becomes no. 1 and monitor becomes no. 2
