ATI X850 DVI no signal - help!
I have tried an LCD TV and an LCD flat panel and I cannot get DVI output
from my radeon x850 xt (AGP) video card! I have tried 3 different DVI-D cables as well. I have narrowed it down to 2 possiblities: A DVI-I cable is required which nobody local has The digital output of the card is broken. -- Rob |

Do you get a signal then? SLP |

I have tried this before with no success. I cannot even get a signal when
the computer first starts up during post. I've had my card almost 2 months now and doubt I can exchange it at Best Buy, but I am certainly going to try. ATI support is kind of useless. The 'level 2' tech I was transferred to argued with me for much of the conversation and I really have to question his level of knowledge after asking him several direct questions. I'm going to phone Best Buy and see what they will do. -- Rob "Gilles" wrote in message ... hello ROB i have the same probleme with my aiw 9800 agp i look this forum a few day ago and i am happy to see im a not alone the problem is the catalyst 5.8 for me i found a solution "not very good but it's work" put your screen in rgb mode valid this mode after you do the same with dvi mode and surprise the dvi signal is ok when i quit my lcd flat in dvi mode and switch on,the screen is black no signal arrrggghhh !!! |

Just a followup:
The DVI port on my X850 XT was defective even though the ATI tier 2 support person said that was not possible since it worked with the vga adapter. I responded back to him and almost felt like suggesting he learn more about DVI is and how the pins are configured - not to mention know something about the product he is supporting. The 4 pins around the blade are analogue and just because the analogue part of the port works (it's DVI-I or dual interface), does not mean the digital part of it does. The guy was a jerk, wanted to argue with me most of the time and was hardly polite at all when asking me questions about my hardware. -- Rob "Rob G" wrote in message ...
