My great thanks to whoMever solves this problem tonight
 

I have 3 Monitors set up.

The Two 20" monitors are running fine.

But the 30" when set to it's proper resolution of 2560 x 1600 makes for a huge image on the screen.

Basically I need someone to tell me how to make the 2560 x 1600 image fit on to my 30" monitor.

The 30" and 20" are both running off my PCIe card, the other 20 off a PCI card.

Funkyworms is stumped

Don't offer cash.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

ok, whatever gets this problem solved for me, I'm desperate to have this solved tonight.

sorry if i broke some forum rule.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

1. You're sure the pcie card can run a 20" and a 30" at the same time?
2. Does the 30" work if it is the only monitor plugged into it?
3. Can the pci card run the 30" monitor by itself?
4. Can the pci card run 2 20" monitors?
5. Did the setup ever work?

1. No I'm not sure.

2. The PCI card cannot run the 30" by itself. I got the monitor two days ago and have never seen it properly configured off of either the PCIe or PCI card, at 2560 x 1600 the image is always too big for the screen, whether the monitor is hooked up by itself, with another monitor or with 2 other monitors.

3. No, I see no image when hooking the 30" up to the PCI card.

4. The PCI can run two 20's but one of the images looks a bit stretched.

5. The setup has never worked. The closest it has come is running one 20 off of the PCI, the other 20 off of the PCIe, and the 30 is always messed running off of the PCIe.

I'm beginning to think I have a hardware problem, if so - how can we solve this?

as always thanks greatly.

I have a 256 MB ATI Radeon X1300 PRO card, and I've been told this can run a 30" monitor, can it??

I feel like I've tried everything to configure this thing.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

Check the FAQ here or search for 30" monitors in this forum for discussion of what a dual link DVI port looks like, I'm not sure if you can plug a dual into a single without having to push really, really hard so that may not be it.

Or just try the 30" in the other port on the video card.

It sounds like you have a hardware problem. I was reading a review of your card when my browser crashed and now the nyquil is kicking in so I'm going to bed.

Good luck and my FT screen name is the same as my 2+2 one... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

From the specs listed on ATI website.
# Flexible display support

* Dual integrated DVI transmitters (one dual-link + one single-link)

x1300 Specs
What that means is only one of the outputs is capable of driving the 30in at the native resolution. Check your manual or look at the pictures in the FAQ to make sure you are plugging the 30in cable into the right one.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

Waarior, I have it plugged into what I believe is the DVI input - the white plug. The white plug is the only one that comes out of my monitor.

Solution still up for grabs, the image on the screen is way to big.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

It doesn't have two DVI plugs? One is VGA and blue? If that is the case you have a hardware problem.

You have all the latest drivers and what not installed for the cards?

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

Yes, off of the PCIe card one Plug is white (DVI) the other is blue (VGA).

The 20" runs fine off the VGA however my problem is with how the 30" is running off of the white DVI port.

I don't understand why it would be hardware related if the 20" can run off VGA and the DVI is open for the 30". It was confirmed on this forum also that the PCIe card I have would be sufficient to run a 30" and 20"...I feel like I'm going in circles.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

Are you seeing the setting for 2560x1600 and that isn't showing up or are you not seeing that setting at all? It is sounding like the card can't handle the resolution.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

does the 20" work off of the DVI?

Also, have you tried unplugging the other monitors and just trying the 30"

What software are you using to set the monitors up?

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

I'm using Catalyst.

I set both Catalyst and windows setting to 2560 x 1600. It is set to that resolution but looks [censored] up, again - image way too big for screen.

I have tried only running the 30", same results.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

Am I giving enough information to solve this problem?

This seems like it can be solved by you guys, I have my 30" set to its proper resolution but the image is way too big for the screen...any more thoughts??

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

here is a link to my PCIe card:

http://ati.amd.com/products/RadeonX1300/features.html

Everybody has told me that this thing can support the 30" widescreen, I still feel like this is a configuration problem. The Image is coming onto the screen, just when it is set at 2560 x 1600 it only fits on like 25% of the area.

If somebody wants to help further please PM me with a way to talk on AIM or whatever, your efforts will not go unrewarded. Help!

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

pretty sure it should be whoever and not whomever in the title

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

OK, I looked up the spec of my card online and it says the following:

Flexible display support
Dual integrated DVI transmitters (one dual-link + one single-link) .



So...It looks like my card does have dual-link - this problem has got to be in the configuration...can nobody help figure out why the 2560 x 1600 is not properly scaled to my monitor?

I don't think so. The "I will give" is assumed, so the title is really "I will give my gratitude to whomever solves this problem." It's the object of "give", so it's "whom".

edit: Dammit, you're right. It's the subject of the second phrase, which still counts, so it's the nominative case. Dammit.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

I may have discovered something that gets us closer....

In Catalys, Under Monitor Properties > Attributes when I select from the drop down menu the Radeon X1300 Card [DELL 3007 WFPHC]

it says the following:

Display Name: Dell 2007 FP
Max Reported Resolution: 1920 x 1080
Max Refresh Rate: 75 Hz


My Question - Why is Catalyst recognizing what should be the 3007 30" monitor as the 2007 22" monitor??

Sounds like your card is outputting the correct resolution but for some reason the monitor is in a lower resolution. What resolution does the monitor think its displaying when this happens?

Perhaps the wrong drivers are loaded for it?

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

I'm not sure what you mean by "what doe sthe monitor think".

But when I turn the computer on with only the 30" connected to the card it sets the resolution at 1280 x 800...


I am 99% sure the drivers are correct as funkyworms helped me reinstall them

Most monitors have controls on them for adjusting the image position, colors, etc. They also typically will display the resolution information.

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

the only controls I see on the 30" is a +/- sign which adjusts the brightness....

Re: $50 on Full Tilt to Whoever solves this problem tonight
 

Ok breakthrough I think,

I just started my computer with the 30" plugged into the PCIe DVI output as usual, and as usual, wrong res - it starts up defaulted to 1280 x 800. And the 20" hooked up to the VGA and working fine.

Then, once the computer is on and running, I try pluging the other 20" VGA into the PCIe and this 20" defaults to run at 2560 x 1600???

Everything is much smaller and shrunk down on the one 20" that is running at 2650 x 1500, I'm sure this info can be used to help solve the problem, i just don't know how....wtf?

Nevermind obv the 20" is running at 1600 x 1200.....

I still think this is the most likely reason. Perhaps you associated the 3007 drivers with the wrong monitor? (I did this with my 204B)
