    AIW TV and Screen Rotation

    I'll answer my own question.....It was a driver problem. I solved it by using the latest Omega driver and the newest MMC. I can now watch TV with the screen rotated.

    AIW x800 XT Problem - Help!

    Well was this problem ever resolved? My card had similar problems, resolved by using the latest Omega drivers. For some reason every ATI driver I tried caused all sorts of problems....just like you reported.

    X800XT AIW AGP driver problem.

    No I haven't tried it in any other computer. This is a very stable system I'm puting together. The video card is my last problem area. I wanted DVI, and a TV tuner. This single card is perfect. I have an 8500AIW DV that fills the bill, but it's pretty old, and the multimedia connector always...

    X800XT AIW AGP driver problem.

    Arrg.....I can't believe you have to go through all those hoops just to get this card working normal. I don't over-clock or anything, and rarely play games.

    X800XT AIW AGP driver problem.

    I had to RMA my first X800XT AIW AGP.......failed after a few weeks. I installed the second card without changing any software, since the the first card was working ok (XP Pro on an AOPEN board with an intel chipset). Well that didn't work, since the new card would not use the old drivers. Well...

    AIW TV and Screen Rotation

    I have an X800XT AIW that will not display the TV when the screen is rotated. My AIW 2006 does work with a rotated screen on the same computer. Is this strictly a hardware issue with certain cards, or a matter of a certain driver/MMC combination. The ATI website is not very specific about...
