I have a Mini PC from XenarcDirect. It's an
*MP-SC10 Mini Pentium Mobile Aluminum Car PC* The video chipset is a SiS Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. This chipset has recently been giving me problems.
What happens is, everytime I turn on my car, it boots Windows just fine but I get no video display. I took it back to Xenarc and according to the tech guy there, it's a driver issue, and it causes the video output to default back to it's native display, which it thinks is an attached notebook display.
Even after setting it numerous times to output to the
2nd monitor(my in dash touchscreen) as my PRIMARY display, it defaults back to the "notebook" monitor upon rebooting. Of course, this is not a notebook PC, so naturally there is no notebook display to look at, and therefore I have no way of navigating through Windows. Now...there *IS* a HotKey combination(Ctrl+Alt+F1) that I can supposedly press to force the video chip to output to the second monitor, but guess what?...that doesn't work most of the time either. For some reason I can only get the hotkey to actually work once in a while.
This is VERY frustrating and I don't know what else to do. I want them to either get the right drivers that doesn't do this, or change the chipset on the motherboard or change the motherboard entirely for a new one that has a video chipset with better drivers. Has anyone else experienced this issue before?
Is there a website that I can go to look for possibly newer drivers for this SiS video chip? Do the CarPCs that Mp3Car.com sell have similar issues such as this one?
