i have a ati 9600 with svideo out and its connected to my tv. the problem is that my moniter rez is at 1152x864 and my tv seems to only want to display at 1024x768. so when i try to watch a movie on it and i maximise it the picture gose off the screen the way i fix this is by lowering the rez on my moniter to 1024x768 then the tv displays it fully. but then my icons get all messed up and i keep haveing to change the rez on my moniter. so id like to know if there is a way to make the rez change when its getting output onto my tv to 1024x768 from 1152x864.

I don't know jack about the subject, but have you tried ZoomPlayer? Its optimized for tv output.

tv's have a set resolution and theirs prety much no way in hell ya can change it. best thing to set your your monitors res the same as your tv's. oh and, are ya sure its 1024x768 ? the highest ive haerd of is 800x600

sorry. havent been on the org for a while. um my tv out on my vid card makes the rez one smaller so when my moniter is on 1024x768 the tv is on 800x600 so it works but when i put it on 1152x864 the tv tries to display at 1024x768 and then i have to scroll around on the screen which sux. thanx for suggesting zoomplayer Zarxrax ill check it out.

If you are using it like a dual monitor set up with uh... Nview, or hydravision, or whatever your card supports, you should be able to set the resolution separate from your main monitor.
