After many hours of trying I still haven't found an HDTV setting that works for AIW 9600 Pro. My goal is to use EASYLOOK on the HDTV, for TV, DVD Library etc., and still be able to run applications from time-to-time on the VGA, e.g. select items to record from the guide.
I came down to several that don't work:
1) Set HDTV to monitor 1 and the VGA as clone both with settings of 1920x1080. This is not bad but DVDs won't play and becuase of max res. of VGA monitor it has to pand around the virutal destop.
2) Set HDTV to monitor 1 and VGA to clone with HDTV at 704x480. In this case if the VGA resolution is any more than 704x480 the HDTV image is only a section of the VGA display, e.g. the top left quarter; ven when playing a DVD.
3) Extend the desktop from the HDTV to the VGA. In this case the icons are all on the HDTV and the mouse will not move on the VGA, it just sits at the edge and briefly appears if I drag the mouse very quicky to the side.
4) Run both VGA and HDTV at 704x480. In this case there just isn't enough information on the VGA to operate and, for example, the Monitor tab under Advanced is too big to get the mouse to the or buttons.
5) Set both the VGA and HDTV to 1920x1080 with the HDTV as primary and the VGA as clone. In this case EASYLOOK just comes up blank although from the sounds, something is working. Also, anytime I have got EASYLOOK to run in 1080 it won't play DVDs because of the Macrovision protection.
I would have though the best would be set VGA to a convenient resolution and HDTV to 704x480 then use extend desktop and flip between which is primary. But in this case the mouse doesn't work on the VGA and EASYLOOK comes up blank. It isn't that the HDTV outputs don't work, they do and look great but getting them to work with the VGA desktop has never happened.
Can it work, and if so what should the setting be?
