915G chipset with dual monitors

[idata]

I updated the driver for this chipset. After the update, my second monitor was disabled and I can't enable it. The GMA driver refuses to believe I have two monitors installed. They are "default", not the actual monitor type as in L1960TR. Any ideas on how I get dual monitor support back?

Hi

Try unplugging the second display from the PC and wait a few seconds then plug it back in. It should re-detect. Also, see this doc on display support for your chipset. http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel915g/sb/cs-013595.htm http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/intel915g/sb/cs-013595.htm

I have a similar problem on my Asus Essentio. I am trying to use my TV as my primary display. In order to get it setup I hooked up a computer monitor also. I got the resolution set for my TV (720p@60) and I disabled the computer monitor in the graphics driver and everything looks good until I unplug the computer monitor and then I lose signal on the TV. Even if the Monitor is turned off and unplugged I still cannot disconnect it from the Asus without lossing signal to the TV. Win Vista Premium 64.

Hi

I would suggest checking with ASUS support website to insure you have the latest system BIOS for your system. Also,, what version of graphics driver are you using? How is the TV connected to the PC?

Thanks

OK I installed the latest Bios (Ver. 1303)

and I am running the latest graphics driver (7.15.10.1637)

No change, still cannot unplug the monitor without losing signal to the TV

The computer is connected to the monitor by VGA and to the TV by HDMI.

Difficult to say what the issue is without having a ASUS system to troubleshoot with. Have you tried to contact ASUS support?

Thanks
