Why are you unable to watch TV on your 17" monitor while working on the 19"? That mode of operation works very nicely on all current ATI boards. In display settings, look at "overlay". Overlay is only supported in "clone" mode. Not feasible with different monitor sizes and resolution. Regards, -- *Art |

I open an app that uses overlay (PCTV Vision, Windows Media Player, Intervideo WinDVD, doesn't matter), and I only get one window, on my main monitor. I can't even drag the app over to the other monitor, cause apps using overlay seems to be limited by the driver to stay on one monitor. Thus it is worse than not having overlay at all! Catalyst drivers version 4.7 The "Clone Mode Options" are greyed out, with a notice stating: These overlay settings are only available in dual-controller Clone mode, and not single-display or extended desktop configurations.

It's simple--you enable clone mode and then turn on theater mode. The fact that the monitors have different resolutions doesn't matter in that mode. If you want an extended desktop, when you're done watching TV go back to extended desktop. It could be more convenient, I admit. Incidentally, the reason you can't drag to the second monitor is that video overlay other than theater mode is supported only on the primary monitor. If you want video on the second monitor and an extended desktop then set the second monitor as primary and use Hydravision to control which apps open where.
