dolariI'm just writing to let you know, that I, as a tech support consultant, have uncovered an incredibly debilitating problem in your drivers.
It seems that you both have decided that the icon you are using to denote a Primary Display Adapter is a Circle with a Dot in it. A target. However, you're also using an unecessary "Power" button to activate displays denoted by a circle with a line. These buttons are very very very close to each other. And they're both roughly the same color. While this should only confuse people who put square pegs in round holes, THOSE PEOPLE EXIST IN VAST NUMBERS BEYOND YOUR COMPREHENSION.
It seems that there is also a problem with outputting DVD to television via an SVideo port on your cards. Most of these involve pressing said Target button and Power buttons, configuring TwinViews or extended desktops, annoting one or another monitor/display/flat panel as a primary display device and generally rebooting the machine several times over.
Back in 2000, I bought an extremely cheap, and hardly functioning video card with S-Video capabilities, simply because it was an AGP card and I couldn't buy a monitor. You know how I got my desktop and DVD to play on the TV?
I pressed the TV button on the display controls.
Thank you,
