Default Radeon 9600 pro TV-Out/Dual Display features

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello Everybody!

I've been reading many stuff about the new Radeon 9600 Pro Chipset
from ATI. I'm looking forward to buying especially a Sapphire Atlantis
9600 Pro.

It seems, that you get many information about the 3D-features of this
card but nothing about the tv-out connector, it's signal quality and
how to use it at the same time with the normal VGA-connector/monitor.

I'd like to see the normal windows desktop on my monitor for normal
working (e.g. MS Word) and watch a divX or DVD at the same time on the
tv with the tv-out of the radeon 9600 pro. Or just have more space on
desktop by moving programs like icq/... on the second desktop shown on
the tv.

Does anybody know, if all that is possible?

On ATI's homepage I noticed HYDRAVISION. It seems to provide this
functionality. But if you click on supported products on
http://www.ati.com/companyinfo/gloss...ision-demo.swf,
no Radeon 9600 Pro is mentioned. What is wrong? Has anybody experience
with that?

Thnx a lot in advance!

Ciao,
Simon

TomsHardwareGuide tested radeon 9700pro and it was not possible, but i dont
know was it beacause of drivers. Maybe it was early version of those
drivers. Who knows.
I have posted one message here about this same subject but no ansver was
posted.
I hope someone answers our guestion.

I suppose, it must be possible. On the ATI homepage I found following
in http://mirror.ati.com/support/manualpdf/Rade9600.pdf, Page 6
(Display Configurations):
===snip===
Display Configuration: CRT display + TV

Connector(s) used: VGA connector + TV Output

Comments: Unsupported configuration if the CRT display is attached to
the DVI-I connector via a DVI-I-to-VGA adapter*
===snap===

I'm still confused a little bit, since noboby seems to have experience
in using the Radeon 9600 Pro in that confiuration. Hm.

Ciao,
Simon

I have a 9500, and I often have a movie full screen on the TV out, whilst
still continuing to use the standard monitor for browsing etc. Works fine.

Cool, thnx. So I can really hope, that this will work fine with the
9600 Pro, too. Other people tell me, that the refresh rate of the
monitor goes down to 50 Hz and you have to reduce the display
resolution, but they have the 9000.
