S-video to tv setup?

[getignited114]

i was wondering how i could do this, my video card is a sapphire ati hd 3850 512mb pci-e

i found a s-video cord plugged it in and i have the tv on the setting but when i push identify it only notices the monitor and like it'll have a line that goes across my monitor and it'll do the exact same thing on the tv but the tv will stay black. what do i need to do to fix this so i can run a somewhat type of dual monitor or just same screen, as long as i can see on my tv because i want to watch video's and movies and whatnot on it from my computer =\

it doesn't detect it

Try changing your desktop res to the same res as the TV.

Force TV detection in the CCC.

Save a profile in CCC called normal, Then setup your TV on its own get your overscan and all that stuff nice and then save a profile called TV.

With the hotkey manager you can now easy swap from TV to monitor

dident work, i still get the black screened tv =(

 

[nukemaster]

damn. do you have another Svid cable to test? i have never run into that issue(across several ATI cards). You may as well try the composite video(yellow) guy to see if it works.

LOL i actually tryed the yellow wire, that one dident give off any signal at all! the svideo just blinks black, there has to be something im doing wrong or some setting thats wrong. i put force tv detection and all's it does is like when i enable the other monitor it wont let me, also everytime i start my computer it always tell's me new hardware found ?!?!?!?? i installed the drivers off of the cd then off the internet also.

Hmmmm, check the device manager and see if you have a yellow !'s on your video card secondary or anything for that matter.

 

[getignited114]

nope, there's no !'s at all man thats weird

 

[nukemaster]

sure is, try to uninstall ALL ati stuff and reinstall it maybe?

You only have one screen right?

 

[getignited114]

yeah i guess ill try to do that
