Hi guys...I just bought a sapphire x1650 and I am trying to use a tv as a lcd(I have 2 pc's and no more money for another lcd). I have a problem: I selected the tv as primary...plugged the lcd out and it works fine....untill I reboot...I still recive images at the bios boot screen and after the Windows loading screen the tv turns blank....and then I have to plug the lcd again...set the tv etc....what should I do?? any suggestions?

In my driver, I don't know about the ATI driver, but the Nvidia driver has an option to force the TV out on at startup. I don't know if this even applies to your system, but might be worth checking into. This fixed it for me when I tried to do that a while back.

It has a force tv detection but that was always selected......and I think it works only to detect the tv after you plugged it in.
