Archived from groups: alt>comp>periphs>videocards>ati (more info?)

VGA + VGA (dvi to vga adapter) + HDTV via s out

ATI says unsupported..Does that mean it can't be done.

I wish to have a dual desktop for video editing and output home theatre via
component out to my 65 inch TV

TIA

Jeff

As far as I know, the card only supports *dual* displays. The TV is
considered a display by ATi's semantics. You will have to disable one of the
monitors to output to the TV.

But can they all be physically connected then toggled in Windows?

you can connect the 3 cables at the same time.
but you have only 2 screens available, you you just choose which screen is
display on each monitor.
so, 2 monitors will display the same screen while the third can display
another screen.

Sorry to seem redundant, but does that mean VGA 1 and VGA 2(Courtesy of dvi
to VGA adapter) Can Be display 1 and display 2 reespectfully, while display
3 (HDTV through S out) would mirror Display 2?

I have a left over DVI to vga adapter from an earlier radeon and hope it
would work on the x800pro. It will, right? The dvi on the x800 prois not
DVI-d is it?

TIA

First point, from what I know, the SVideo out support only 1024*768.
Second point, yes, you are in the right scenario, the svideo mirror the
display 2 (or the display 1, you choose)

I recommend to connect your HDTV through a DVI capable and not through the
SVideo, the quality is far better.

Actually the "s" out is an adapter that transforms into component output
from it. I know ATI offers on various cards HDTV out, some through VGA to
HDTV, Spome through DVI to HDTV and others through "S" to HDTV
