G4MX440 Dual VGA and TV-out Possible?

I finally got my tv-out feature working by using the unofficial bios from MSI.  This resolved the "orange/brown" screen issue. :O
My new issue:
I have the g4mx440 with dual vga output. (not one vga jack and one dvi with an apadpter, just two vga connectors).  I am running two analog monitors with the card and they are both working fine.  But, since i have now gained the use of my Tv-out feature, i was wandering how i would set up this card to use my TV as a third monitor.  When i goto my display settings it only shows two monitors that i can alter but if i disable one and reboot with only 1 analog connected and the tv-out it works.  I was playing with nviews settings and somehow made my tv the primary display and lost one of my analogs (kinda like all 3 wont work at the same time).  What am i doing wrong or what do i need to do.    
I had accomplished this set up before with a Geforce2 Mx400, but i was using a second pci card to run my second analog monitor.  
Any help would be sweet.  Thanks in advance for anything.

Hi,
Here's some generic advice, but which might not apply to your specific hardware.
You can't get 3 *different* pictures from this type of card, only 2. It effectively has two independent channels, and one channel has the choice of *either* VGA out *or* TV out. It may even be possible to use both at once - but it will be the same picture. You might need a third party utility like TVtool to let you use VGA and TV out simultaneously, and your VGA monitor might not like the non-standard frequencies on the VGA that are a byproduct of generating TV out frequencies (especially in PAL). LCD monitors are generally worse than CRTs in this respect.
Cheers

  • Dual VGA + TV out

    Hi !
    I have a FX 5700LE
    I'm using the dual VGA mode for editing videos.
    I'd like to use another screen (a simple TV monitor, plugged on the TV out connector of my card) to see the video only (not an extended desktop or whatever, only a video out)
    Can you tell me how I can do ?
    thanx by advance !

    Hi!
    You cant do that.... because one of the VGA RAMDACs are shared with the tv-out and then its impossible use both at the same time

  • T440 - dual monitors without dock, using VGA and mini DP

    Try to find out if a T440 can use its VGA and mini DP ports at the same time for dual monitor support (LCD can be closed.)  Can't seem to find this info anywhere, everything I come up against talks about a dock.
    Thanks.

    There are "features" having to do with the amount of power supplied to run the adapters on the 5770 and 5870.
    I suggest you use one DVI-to-VGA adapter for your best display. These VGA signals are present on the DVI-I output from the computer -- in the bar at one end and the four pins around it. The adapter used for this is just wires.
    The longer story has to do with using much more expensive ACTIVE, Powered adapters, some even use a USB pigtail to pick up power from a USB to run signal drivers inside the adapters. These are Required to run three displays, but you can Usually get away with it for two.

    Hi Bala
    You can have clock in and clock out in a weekly view.
    you have to change the data entry profile settings.
    In general settings tab in data entry profile click the with clock times button and maintain the Period type to 02 in time settings tab.
    And you can view the weekly entry in clock in and clock out.

    i need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

    I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.

  • Possible to check IN and Check Out Reference Tables?

    Hi All,
    I am wondering is it possible to check in and check out Look Up and other tables like we do for main table???
    If so can any one letme know how?
    Thanks
    Rajeev

    Hi Rajeev,
    Can you elaborate your business requirement of having Check out on reference table?
    Checked out option is used for the below scenario in Main Table
    Create - If the record is checked out, then it is virtually available in MDM until it is approved as the part of the workflow
    Change - The record is kept checked out , so that the user who changes it owns it , and no others has access to change it to achieve the data consitency
    But for reference data , the records is already available in the target system and it is fed to MDM

  • How to get plain old S-video and Composite out from a MBP?

    Hi,
    this question is about someone's MacBook Pro he newly bought with adapters to get both DVI and Svideo/Composite Out.
    He got Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D converter, and a DVI-I to video converter, that cannot be plugged into a DVI-D port. Apple removed the analog capability of its adapter, that's bad. But what's badder is there doesn't seem to have any Mini DisplayPort to Svideo/Composite adapter, as there was with previous generation machines.
    How can someone easily output analog video from MBP?

    In fact, I recognize that these standards are old, which doesn't mean they're not up-to-date. Similar example, VGA connector is old, but perfectly useful, even in 2009. I recently plugged a 22" LCD with VGA and DVI on the same computer (a bland desktop PC), and there was strictly no difference. Same color depth, same crisp display. Even looking at a corner with a magnifier, nothing was different.
    So, changing standards just for the sake of it doesn't make any sense.
    Agreed that, as a pro, Apple would like me to buy their pro line, but nowhere in the pro line does an easy solution exists for S-Video and composite out. The solution you posted exists, but is unwieldly and not neat at all, if it doesn't break the Mac's connector under its weight. If a manufacturer can do this kind of adapter, Apple can do it better, and make a bigger profit out of it.
    For the adapter you posted, I don't ever buy anything that is not at least Mac+Windows compatible, or at a minimum is open-source, so anyone with programming skills can make something. The manufacturer also doesn't give a clue on how this works. I guess some sort of virtual driver sits in the system as a virtual IEEE1394 port so any program requiring FW can work transparently. Still, incompatible with the OS that most manufacturer ship their new PCs with, poor commercial decision, wether you like the OS or not.
    Adding FW in the MB unibody design wouldn't have cost anout $30. Rather, we're talking about a 25 cents chip, a 25 cents connector, which they would have rounded up to $20 and still, that was present in previous-gen MB. After all, they are indeed selling a matte screen on the MBP 17" for $50 more, despite them removing a single piece of glass which may cost, well, let's be fair, $5 to manufacture? That's dishonest. And capitalistically justified.
    So far, choosing a Mac for one's needs is no easy task: older white MacBooks have the same power as unibodies, excellent connectivity, top notch transfer speeds, BUT are heavier, as not as ecologically friendly nor do they have future-proof RAM standard. The unibodies are sleekier, easily recycled and will be able to be upgraded in the near future BUT is most likely unable to use current devices and have slower transfer speeds.
    For Pro models, the newer ones have great efficiency, much power and flexibility with their dual GPU BUT lost the option of matte screen, although their other pro-oriented monitors still default to matte. Only the 17" has the option. If a pro already finds his 15,4" bulky and with ample reserve power, will he buy the bigger and heavier 17"? Probably not.
    I understand that Apple way of doing business is keeping only what's essential with no unnecessary options (I'm looking at you, Asus, with you at least 10 different versions of you netbook). But this time, not everyone can find what he or she wants in Apple's line of laptops, as opposed to the iPod thing, where virtually any possible preference is covered.

  • Dual Vga output w/G4 Ti4200?

    I just bought a G4 Ti4200, and it has the VGA out and the DVIout with the converter and the box says DUAL VGA SUPPORT so i know it's possible with this card.  
    I went on the nVidia website and found in some online manual to check this option "treat other displays as separate outputs" or something in the Desktop Utilities tab in the additional GeForce 4 Ti4200 properties...etc.  
    Anyway, that whole option isn't there.  There's just the "Display quicktweak" and "Enable Desktop Manager" boxes there.  So, i'm a bit confused, and I just want to get separate displays going. Also if anyone knows how to do i anyother way, that'd be great.  Cloneview does work, it's just getting windows to have a second display.
    Thanks

    Thanks, Bela, for your reply.  What you're saying makes sense, but i'm insure of the order and timing that you mean.  
    1. Should any clone view stuff be turned on?
    2. Is the main monitor plugged into the DVI-out jack and the secondary in the VGA?
    3. I understand to have a monitor in the DVI jack when booting but when do i plug in the second monitor? before or after windows boots?
    Thanks for your help once again

  • Dual WAN and Log mail SMTP on RV082 ?

    I use a RV082 with dual Wan and I cannot configure two SMTP.
    Without authentication; a SMTP is specific of the provider.
    When WAN1 comes down, SMTP to be used is the SMTP corresponding to WAN2 and vice versa.
    Implementation of authentication with the mail server wil be useful.
    Possibility of two mail servers with indication of the corresponding WAN is also useful.

    I don't know how or if it's possible to set up two SMTP servers, but I know that may ISPs block SMTP traffic that is not directed to one of their SMTP servers.  You could try picking just one SMTP server, and find out if it can be conacted on a non-standard port.  A lot of SMTP providers allow for this.
    If you can configure a single SMTP server on a non-standard port, you should be able to conatct that SMTP server from anywhere on the internet because the traffic won't be blocked (at least not port-based blocking, which is what most ISPs use).
    So in a scenario where WAN1 is the ISP who owns the SMTP server and WAN2 is a diferent ISP that blocks standard SMTP traffic...
    1) If both WANs are working, SMTP traffic goes out WAN1.  No problem.
    2) If only WAN1 is working, SMTP traffic goes out WAN1.  No problem.
    3) If only WAN2 is working, SMTP traffic goes out WAN2, but is not blocked because it is on a non-standard port.  No problem.
    I hope that helps.

  • Onboard VGA and AGP card

    AS far as I understand, if I install an AGP card, it will automatically disable the onboard vga. Is it possible to have both enabled? I'd like to connect two monitors and use two separate desktops. One possible solution would be to install a dual head card, but the one that I have is a full-size card. So I'd like to use my old half-size ATI AGP card and onboard chip - is it possible?

    no, because the onboard agp shares the AGP slot. you cannot use both together  

  • [GeForce 6] McFly Method ! Two monitors AND TV out

    Hi
    I used my system for a lot of video editing - which means i need screen space AND TV out to a seperate TV monitor...
    I was using a Matrox Parhelia which is triple head - this worked fine until I upgraded my system - and then my editing software (AVID XPress Pro) failed to work at all...  so I needed to switch to an nVidia card. 
    I now have an MSI NX6600GT - which works fine - but being only "Dual Head" will ALWAYS play video out to one monitor and leave me with my Editing APP in the other window...  Is there any way to turn of the FULL SCREEN video on my second monitor?  I would rather have the option of playing out video full screen, than be forced to have it. 
    I am also considering the "McFly" method of using one AGP card - displaying on one MAIN monitor and TV out via S-Video permanantly on my AGP card, and installing a second PCI VGA card to handle the second monitor - so I can have Video overlay running out to a TV monitor and two VGA monitors running in "Dual View" or "mirrored" mode rather than "Clone" or "Stretch".  Does anyone have any recommendations about the PCI card to use - it doen't have to be particualarly special - just able to run a second VGA monitor without any problems or conflicts...
    Thanks in advance for any help   
    Tim

    For the video being fullscreen on the second monitor,
    Go into the GeForce6600Gt Properties page
    click on 'full screen video'
    in Full Screen device select 'disable'
    (using the 71.89 Drivers, this options may not be in earlier versions)

  • 651M-L can't disable onboard VGA and other problems.

    Hello. I have the MSI 651M-L motherboard and I want to use an external AGP card (GeForce 2 MX 400) instead of the onboard. I am really confused with this board for many reasons (the PC is not mine, I should just fix it). I think that the board may be damaged. First of all, in the manual, it doesn't say a word about the external AGP card. In the BIOS, there is nothing relevant (disable onboard VGA). I thought that it is just automatic and I plugged in the external card, but the system was still working with the onboard! 2 or 3 times ONLY, the system has booted-up normally but the monitor was off. I thought then to shutdown the PC and connect the monitor to the external card. The system was working properly after that and Windows XP saw the GeForce 2. After some reboots, the system was switching again to the onboard VGA (without personally making any change)! Why is that? Why the system is switching by itself from the one VGA to the other? I have checked that the AGP card is plugged in correctly. Is there any jumper or something to disable the onboard VGA? Thanks.
    PS1: Can someone explain to me, why the VGA drivers downloaded from the MSI website for this board (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=478&kind=1), don't work? When I am trying to install them, an error message comes up saying that it didn't find the necessary hardware and the installation is canceled. My present drivers have date of 2002 and I want to upgrade to the latest drivers. I have made all the other driver updates (agp driver, IDE, sound, LAN etc).
    PS2: Is it true that this board doesn't have any option for overclocking? I have a P4 at 2.4 GHz. I didn't find anything in the BIOS. I can't believe it. Are there any hidden options?
    PS3: Will MSI release any newer BIOS for this board? The latest is 07/09/2003, but I think that there are many things to be improved.

    Hi again. Maesus, I have already tried that and if I remember well, it had worked in the beginning but later the system started the same thing. I don't want to do that again, because I will have to re-configure all BIOS settings and because I think that it shouldn't be necessary. The solution would be to have a new BIOS release. But I want to add that I have tried with another external AGP card (again a GeForce 2) without result. The system can see only the onboard VGA and I can't figure out why.
    Apart from that, I have another VERY STRANGE error. Please read carefully: I was facing many Blue-Screens-of-Death (BSD) with the know error "Page Fault In Non Page Area". From my experience, classic case of RAM problems, due to failing or bad configured DIMM. The RAM is a one-week new 1 GB DIMM DDR-400 which works at 266 MHz (2T CL, 1T CR). I had shared 64 MB to the on-board VGA and the other 960 MB to the system. I couldn't believe that the DIMM was failing, so I used MS Memory Diagnostic tool to check-it out. In the first pass, many errors were found (about 60 at the time I stopped it). This utility is rather old now and in some cases can give wrong results. For example, in my personal system where I have 4 identical DIMMS of 512 MB each (Dual Channel), this utility was reporting some errors, while actually my RAM was perfect. I know it because I have checked it with Memtest86 and was error-free and also because the system is rock-solid. Back to our case now, I re-started the test and again I saw many errors. Actually, the standard 6-tests first pass was ok, but the second pass has... 4500 errors all in the sixth test! Very strange but I was terrified by that! The same day, I tried Memtest86 to verify the errors. Memtest, had correctly recognized the 960 MB of memory and reported that is going to check this amount of memory. 2 passes and no errors. The next day, I have understood that maybe the problem was with the 64 MB shared memory part. Maybe this memory part was causing the whole problems, because the diagnostic tool could try to test it as a system memory part. Additionally I have never used MS Memory Diagnostic on such a case (onboard VGA). I decided to limit the shared memory up to 8 MB and re-try the test, hoping for less errors. I have tried 3 standard 6-tests passes and 3 extended 11-tests passes with not a single error. Also, the BSD have disappeared. Yesterday, I tried to watch a DVD and two times faced BSD. Today, this DVD plays normally. I will continue the tests of course, but I think that there was (maybe still there is) a problem with the hundle of the shared memory part. I have all the latest drivers, but I believe that this board is problematic. Anyway, If someone have to make any comments on this story is welcome.
