secondary display doesn't work on X1950Pro

Just replaced my V9999GE with a X1950Pro and can't get my secondary display to work.
It's a television that connects through S-Video and the only time I get picture is when I swap displays so the connection is fine.
The only option I have is the ''swap displays'' option ; when I do , my primary gets black and television is in black and white (which is normal if the output isn't PAL).
I just want to clone the desktop and run video full screen on the television with theater mode.
I have the Catalyst 7.1 driver (didn't try the one that came on the cd)

Gotta love your sarcasm.

i have an x1950Pro as well set up with a monitor and a TV hooked in through the s-video. I haven't had your problems apart from the black and white picture on the tv which i fixed by forcing the card to display as PAL instead of default settings(auto-recognise i think).

Since you have the latest drivers, i can only think of using the 'Force TV detection' feature and trying other choices like to extend the desktop rather than clone it.

Also, try this link. A Sapphire x1950Pro user succesfully got his dual-setup working after a (long) troubleshooting session:

Dual monitor woes

Solved it
After installing the Omega driver for 7.1 which also installs ATI tray Tools , my primary display was set on display 2 while in the ATI control panel it showed as display 1.
So I switched my primary to the second DVI connector and everything worked instantly.
On all my old cards it didn't make a diffirence which DVI / VGA connector I used to get the secondary display to work.
Even checked the manual and it says nowhere that there is a Primary DVI connector.
Though it was a wise lesson of not to expect the obvious it gave me three days of frustration.
