Re: No output on 2nd screen !

Post by halasz »

Some months ago i read about a problem, similar to this. The answer for that problem was this: the overlay(?) mode can only be used at one monitor at a time. And only the the primary display can use it (where usually start menu is). I don't know why. For example: if you start an mpeg movie, with a program which displays picture over an overlay mode (like WinMediaPlayer), the picture will only show at the primary display. If you drop the player to the secondary display, it will show black screen, or in some case the picture will freeze. But the player will think that it plays correctly.
I don't know if this could connect somehow that problem to this, but i have an nvidia gef 8600gts and i cannot use avenue on all displays too, just at the primary.

But when i change settings, so the TV is the primary, the video is plays correctly at the 2nd display (TV - which actually is now the 1st) but there is no output at the pc's display. (which is now the 2nd display)

Hope i could help with this. Sorry for my English, i'm from Hungary. :)

I was able to fix this quite easily. I had exactly the same situation with my Sony Vaio Nvidia GeForce Go 7400 Win XP. After reading this thread and updating my drivers as recommended, my 2nd display was freezing on 1st frame. Then I went to NVIDIA Control Panel, Advanced Mode, Manage 3dsettings, Global Settings, and changed MultiDisplay / Mixed GPU Acceleration to "Single GPU Multiple Display Performance Mode". Now my Resolume 3 works like a charm! "Compatibility Perf." also works, but slowly. Hope this helps !
