TV-Out question: how to adjust resolution on the TV?

[Embryo]

I have a Radeon 9600 Pro, and the resolution on my monitor and TV are respectively 1280x1024 and 1024x768. The problem is that at this resolution, the image on TV is bigger than it's supposed to be, so when I move the mouse across the monitor to the screen edge, the image on TV scrolls to that direction.

So my question is, is it possible to lower the resolution on the TV? My second display is not enabled in "Display Properties\Settings", but in "Display Properties\Settings\Advanced\Displays" (created by ATI drivers).

Thanks in advance!

You need to configure the drivers such that the TV runs a separate mode from the main screen. Then you can adjust its resolution separately (from the TV-out submenu, not on the main Windows display properties thing). Note that 60 Hz TV is always 480 lines, 50 Hz TV (PAL, SECAM) is 576 lines, so choose 640x480 or 800x600 depending on where in the world you are and what your TV is capable of.

The problem is that if I enable the secondary display, the TV will oly show my computer wallpaper no matter what I do.

Again, you need to set the mode (clone, secondary, theater) from the TV properties, not the main Windows control. You also get to choose TV norm and resolution from there.

for me it just auto detects and drops its down to 640x480 or 800x600
