"TFT RESOLUTION"

Windbrit · 06-29-2005, 05:39 AM

I am having problems setting up my TFT screen. I installed windows XP onto my car PC, the complete install was done using my home TFT screen. When I try and use my car screen (MM500 VGA 8.4" TFT ) the picture works until Windows starts up, then the picture fades away. My screen resolution is set at 800x600 with colour quality set at HIGHEST (32BIT)
In the DISPLAY menu it is set as (MULTIPLE MONITORS) ON VIA/S3G UNI CHROME IGP In the ADVANCED SETTINGS DPI SETTING is NORMAL SIZE (96DPI) MONITOR TYPE DIGITAL FLAT PANEL (800X600) PLUG AND PLAY MONITOR, I only have 60 HERTZ as an option. I have tried Deleting the monitors and then re-booting with my MM500 VGA 8.4" TFT conected but this didnt work either.
I am using the VIA EPIA M10000 motherboard and have all the drivers installed from the EPIA disc.

Sounds like your "default" monitor is the one showing boot-up info.
Then the PC switches over to another VGA port.

Go into the BIOS and disable w/e video-out youre not using.

It still doesnt work!!

I deleted the drivers from the graphic card, removed all monitors and rebooted into the bios. I changed the display settings to 800x600 and continued the boot. The picture fades to nothing.......... I then changed back to 640x480 then managed to change the settings in the desktop properties to 800x600 and it worked but then when i reboot it goes back to the same...... HELP!!!!
