Okay, I'm trying to help a friend connect his Dell Inspiron 6000 to a HDTV he recently purchased. He had had it hooked up through the s-video, but was limited to 1024x768, so we used a VGA to HDMI adapter cable to connect it. Now however, it is not being detected by the driver. The graphics chip is a ATI Mobility Radeon X300. I'm using the extra tabs added by the ATI driver under Advanced Settings in the Display tab in Properties. I tried installing the legacy drivers (he's running XP), but the installer said there was not a compatible display device found (not exact words). It said the x300 hundred was supported on the download page, is it the fact that its a mobility card that it's not working? I have CCC on Windows 7 at home and it offers an option to force the computer to output through a head even when a display is not detected on it. Can I do something similar here? I'm open to pretty much anything, just shoot. Thanks in advanced!
