Default OT display gurus: twin displays with one video card?

okay so i have a standard output on the back of the video card on my ishtty computer.. there is also an S-Video output on the back. recently i got a little S-Video-to-yellow-video adapter, went out and bought 25 feet of video cable, and hooked it up to my television.

i assigned a hotkey for "switch to TV mode" in the software that came with my video card (it's an nVidia PCI card with 64 megs of memory, i can't remember the model number) and reset my computer.. as it was booting, the TV and my monitor BOTH displayed the boot screen.. but once windows started, the TV dropped its signal and the monitor continued to display..

once windows booted, i could hit ctrl+t and switch between the TV and the monitor, but i couldn't get both to display the same simultanious image the way they were when the machine booted... i'm convinced it's possible because i saw it display on both screens as it booted, but i cannot find a setting ANYWHERE... help me out..

select the tv as the primary

if you want both to display the same, its called clone mode in the ATI cards.
Extend mode would extend the desktop to both monitors. For dual monitors

If its nvidia, you have to setup n-view in the display settings i think its called. set it so the display is the same image on both outputs. It will have several options, like horizonal and vertical span.

I had the same problem last year.


Go into your Display settings, set up the secondary monitor at the lowest 4:3 resolution possible, drop down its colour to the lowest possible, check "Extend my Desktop to this Monitor" and hit apply. Should work. Then tinker with the settings.

When booting, the screen output is really low.. either 640 x 480 or 320 x 240, and your TV can handle that. When 800x600+ comes around with the booting of windows, it crashes.

(If my suggestion doesn't work, try not enabling it during the boot process, then trying my suggestion.)
