Hello
I'm positive I'm not the only one trying to do this..
I have an Asus ti4200-8x card. It has the usual monitor plug, svideo, and
DVI connector on the back.
Under normal circumstances I have my regluar 19 inch monitor plugged into
the monitor plug. So I have a DVI cable that I plug into my television. I
will likely try powerstrip to get the proper resolution and timing for hdtv,
however, while the DVI cable is plugged in at the same time, and I reboot my
puter, my main monitor stops working. Its like the DVI connector takes
precidence on the video card. Since this isn't a windows thing, I'm
assuming its hardwired in the video card, or hard coded into the cards
firmware. Has anyone experienced this and gotten around it?
Thanks!
