Resolution

[mkc2000]

Your video card driver (display properties, settings, advanced) should allow you to setup hotkeys for different configs. (eg. monitor only, TV only and both). Now use girder to send that keyboard sequence with one Girder input. I have set it up with a couple of different video cards, however my current setup is with an ATI Radeon.
I use ctrl, alt, shift F5 as one hotkey for monitor only and ctrl, alt, shift F6 as one hotkey for monitor and TV out. My Girder keyboard input is a two state event that toggles this.
Hope this helps?

vynce, why don't you use TVTool (only for nVidia Cards)? It costs only $10 and it gives full control of your TV-Out (dualmode, over and underscan, color control, ...). Also you can enable or disable the TV-Out with params for the tvtool.exe
tvtool.exe /TV
tvtool.exe /monitor

vynce what do you mean by wrong refresh rate? If you use TVTool and whant the dual view mode (both TV and Monitor ON) the your monitor will have to work at 50Hz. If your card is a MX with TV-Out you can have separate refresh rates for TV and Monitor but not with TVTool. I know this is bad but for the moment there isn't a version with TwinView (nView) support though such is expected to come out soon

I have a nVidia graphics card and have not found any keyboard shortcut options. So, what I used to do was use Girder to go through all the menus by sending keyboard commands (just like I would do manually, but automated with Girder). Sometimes this didn't work properly though. Recently I have been using the Advanced Mouse Event plugin. I also use it to go through the menus the same way, but it seems to work much better.

I did try TVTool a while ago, but had some problems with it setting the wrong refresh rate. I think I will give it another try though - I'm sure that it has been updated since then - maybe it will work better.

I don't remember what was wrong exactly since it was several months ago. I don't have an MX and I wasn't trying to display on my monitor and the TV at the same time - so it wasn't that. It was probably just a configuration error on my part. I'll try it again this weekend and see how it goes.

I use a 3DFX VooDoo 3 3500TV to watch movies and such on my tv. I was curious if there was a way to enable tv out under the display settings along with change the resolution using Girder.

Thanks for any input

OK, the resolution isn't a problem. I got that working fine. But I need a way to enable the TV out.. ideas? utils?
