| What Radeon is the equivalent if the FireGL V3400 ?? Synapse Syndrome 12:49:20 |
| |
The FireGL cards are basically the same hardware as the Radeons, but with a
few little hardware differences possibly and they are unlocked for the extra
abilities that the FireGL drivers provide.
So what is the equivalent Radeon to the FireGL V3400?
These are the V3400 specs:

| Display problems with Apple Cinema display The Dave 3000 04:36:58 |
| | I have a 23" apple cinema display connected to my PC running an ATI Radeon
9800 graphics card. The monitor works beautifully and is plugged into the
DVI port on the card. I am running the monitor at 1920x1200 resolution in
Windows and it looks fantastic. When checking the display properties in the
card I see that I can ramp the resolution all the way down to 640x480 - and
when set to this mode works just fine with the monitor.
Here is the problem...
At bootup, the Apple Cinema display will not display the Windows XP boot up
screen. Instead, it just goes through a phases of alternating dark screens
and the first image I see is the blue "welcome" screen inside Windows XP and
then the log in screen. Why this is a problem is because it appears I can't
see anything at a resolution lower than 640x480. The boot up screen and the
disk utility screens for windows (chkdsk /f) are set to 320x240 I believe.
That means if I run a chkdsk /f I cannot see any of the activity on that
screen at reboot. More importantly, when I updated to new video drivers it
left me with only a dark screen. I had to connect the PC up to a CRT manual
before I could get an image and set the settings back to a display setting
that would work with the apple cinema display.
3 questions:
1. Has anybody else experienced this and know of a work around?
2. Is this a limitation of the monitor or of my video card?
3. Does anybody know if Vista is going to also utilize low resolution
screens at boot up in 320x240 mode?
Thanks in advance for any help/info you can offer.

| DVI problems (pulling hair out on this one) Rising-Star8471 01:49:45 |
| | Two ATI cards with the same issue:
1. x700 pro
2. radeon 9650
Problem: DVI connector will only work under the following conditions:
1. Windows is in Safe mode
2. On startup, all the way to the windows log on screen, then I loose
signal
Solutions tried:
1. Disabled all USB support in BIOS
2. Running latest cat. drivers from ATI
3. Uninstalling card, running in standard VGA mode and reinstalling
card
4. Trying differant screen res. to see if its a refresh problem or a
res problem
5. Have latests .net from windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Monitor is a Norwood Micro 19", no driver disk came with it and Compusa
says standard windows drivers should work fine.
Cat. control is set to 1024x768 @ 60Hz
Standard VGA cable works fine under all conditions, I just want to get
the full benifits from my card(s)
Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated, thanks for your
consideration

| tv tuner on older aiw Guest 21:21:16 |
| | Hi everyone,
I'm on winxp pro sp2 stripped to the bones with directx 9.0c, equipped with aiw radeon 7500, its own
drivers, and mmc 7.5 just set up very well.
I can not find a workaround for my ati tv to work. It always says tv player failed to initialize the
video. The drop down video capture source list shows no default, driver is listed as unsupported,
but system compatibility check DOES NOT says something about problems encountered. I checked all
other mmc features and they work just very fine: dvd, player and cd. I enabled DCOM features on my
computer, too. Where do you think the problem resides ? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

| | Hi,
My problem seems backwards from most. Sound records just fine from the
TV BUT I can't monitor it when I'm recording a show. It worked just
fine previously and I can't find anything that says Mute Sound When
Recording. Any ideas? I can live without it but would like it just the
same
Thanks

| Cheap PCI card for dual/multi monitors Bazzer Smith 13:58:00 |
| | Looking for a cheap Radeon PCI card, but quite frankly I am baffled
my most of the 'techno blurb' currently my graphics are on board Radeon
Xpress
200, and I would like to know what would be a 'suitable' dual port/monitor
supporting card would be to switch to. I am not a 'gamer' I just want to use
two or more monitors without spendng a fortune. Obviously I would not want
anything which would produce a noticable degradation in perfromance, however
I don't even know if my onboard graphics is actually doing much work anyway.
(I am not to sure what they actually do anyway.) I am just a general PC
user, does
watching video or watching digital TV on my PC put a 'strain' on the
graphics card,
or would my 8 year old PC with a cheap onboard graphics perfrom just as well
(assuming it had the more powerful CPU, memory etc..of my new machine)?
Be glad if some one could point me to the appropiate model number etc..
(the model numbers are a mystery to me).
TIA

| Is it possible to get a Nvidia PCI video card and a Nvidia AGP video card to coexist? John W Blair 03:42:27 |
| | Hello,
I have an Nvidia G-Force 2 MX (PCI) and an Nvidia 7800gs (AGP) (that I
just bought). I can't get both cards to work at the same time. One
device is conflicting with the other. However, when I had my ATI 9800
Radeon Pro I did not have this conflict with the other PCI Nvidia card.
I also noticed that I can get the two cards to work if I reinstall the
OS (Windows XP Pro) but I do get the following stop errors quite a bit:
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/response.aspx?SGD=c888779d-6a8d-46f7-89aa-c341dad1c8b2&SID=11
After the OS (Windows XP Pro) is installed and if I remove one of the
two cards (and the their drivers) I am not able to get the two cards
working together again. However, both cards run just fine independently
(with no stop errors).
After doing some additional research, I found the following thread that
contains a similar problem to what I have:
http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t16800.html
They mention that Nvidia drivers conflict with each other and that if
you are going to have a PCI and AGP card working together, that they
both can not be nvidia cards.
So, it is it possible to get a Nvidia PCI video card and a Nvidia AGP
video card to coexist peacefully? If so, how is this done?

| Seniors Special Nunya Bidnis 21:44:25 |
| | We went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors' special" was two
eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.
"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."
Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because
you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.
"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?" My wife asked
incredulously.
"YES!!"
"I'll take the special."
"How do you want your eggs?"
"Raw and in the shell," my wife replied.
She took the two eggs home.

| AIW 8500DV driver, tc tuner and MMC Guest 14:16:27 |
| | Approximately once a year, I have to revisit this forum in search of
the latest advice onthis 8500DV software. Today I wasted about three
hours befotre finding the right combo. Every once in a while, the TV
stops working entirely throwing an exception in ATIMMC.
What's pathetic is how the advice given by ATI is never right. The
driver-MMX combo that finally worked was the MMC that has a note saying
to use 9.0.2. I used it for a long time until the TV no longer worked.
I had a problem with some other graphic software which said I should
consider updating the ATI driver. I did that and the software then
worked.
I suppose some of this comes from the innumerable Windows updates as
well, the right hand biting the left if you will ;)
Installed the latest recommended Catalyst driver from ATI, 6.5.
Anyway, thing is back on the air for now thanks to advice I found here,
to wit
uninstall old MMC
installing MMC 9.0.8 uci
then MMC enu
it only wanted to reboot at the end, which I did. I'd have posted this
in the same thread where I read the advice but the thread is locked.
I'm sure there are better graphics cards available but why change when
this one does exactly what I need?
Thanks again!

| Asus v9180 Geforce MX 440 with AGP8x Blank Screen ANTISPAM garycnew ANTISPAM 13:31:12 |
| | What I am using:
Intel D850EMV2 Motherboard (w/ 1.5 V AGP4x)
Asus v9180 Geforce MX 440 with AGP8x Video Card
Windows XP (SP2)
DirectX 9.0c
The computer will get past the POST and then right after the Windows XP
loading screen it goes blank.
I am able to boot into safe mode (not safe mode with networking-it goes
blank, too). I have successfully updated the driver with the latest
ForceWare drive from the Nvidia support page. I have also tried the
drive offered by Asus on their support page (an older version 8.1.x.x).
Both of them exibit the same blank screen startup.
In safe mode, the Geforce driver is obviously not being used. The Safe
VGA driver is used, so I cann't adjust either the display adapter or
monitor settings in the control panel. I did try adjusting the DirectX
synx speed to 60hz, but that resulted in the same blank screen startup.
I've tried booting up using VGA mode, but that exibits the blank screen
behavior.
I am beside my self as to what the problem might be.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance you can lend.
Respectfully,
Gary

Just built my download box and conected it to my TV via Svdio and the

Its flickery which i expected at 480i, Though i am running at
128by768, well thats what the driver tells me.
But about a quater way down the screen the screen gets wavy ect. Just
alittle enough to anoy you. I bought a decent Svideo cable and that
somewhat fixes it.
Maybe the cable needs more sheilding. an I do that myself ???
Thanks for any input.
