 Forum: Other Multi-Monitor Solutions   Topic: I Think I'm An Idiot - What Can't My TH2Go Do 1920x1080

Over the past weekend, I got some new monitors that each do 1920x1080. I have them working in Windows at 5760x1080. I can even drop the Windows resolution down to 1920x1080 if I want and that works OK. But, in games (namely, I've tried Skyrim and GTA IV so far), when I switch the resolution to 1920x...

I provided Matrox with firmware and driver information, a Windows System Checker log, and video of the problem in action. The support staff claim that the issue has been passed to the "product team" to try and reproduce this. Hopefully that doesn't mean that they're just schluffing me off. I encoura...

it really makes me think it's something in Matrox's firmware (possibly a side-effect of their fix for 5040x1050 @ 60Hz).

I, too, just got my TripleHead2Go DE out of mothballs after about 13 months of not using it. I am noticing exactly the same thing with mine. I've noticed that it's _only_ on screens that are all black (eg, loading screens or on the left and right monitor when color images are on the center monitor)....

I had contact ebayers and asked them to ship with the legend "sample or gift" and they do not want to ship to Mexico this way. American eBay sellers won't ship this way because it is illegal to mark something as "sample" or "gift" if it's a normal commercial purchase (like eBay is). There are steep...

Position your head to face the center of the screen at the distance that is normal for you and press F12. This will set this as the new default position. I'm fiddling with the demo (v9.45) and will probably post a Confirmed Solution later. Did you have to input 5040x1050 manually using the arrow bu...

I just updated to the latest X-Plane and it seems that Laminar and nVidia finally got on the same page regarding Windows Vista/7 drivers because I can now run full screen in 5040x1050. I fired up X-Plane, set up my TrackIR (nice!) and my TH2Go (nice!). I've used the FoV calc to set my FoV in X-Plane...

My taskbar previews are small and wide, as if they were mimicking my wide resolution in Vert - . I can't find a way to make them bigger like you could in Vista. Anyone got around that yet? I don't know if we're describing the same thing, but I'm see that if I set my resolution to any higher than 30...

i think i've finally made progress toward understanding the problem on windows vista/7, but I cannot explain the "why" for sure. During my testing, I've found that under vista/7, the maximum x-plane resolution (windowed or full-screen) is 4096x1050 on a TH2Go. based on the opengl docs, opengl does _...

Does anyone know if the new Nvidia 190.62 drivers have the same old problems with 5040x1050?


I can't speak specifically to the 190.62's, but I'm running the 190.56's with the latest Matrox drivers and it's working fine.

What is it about 5040x1050 not working under vista? @svet-am you say you hear sound but no video? What do you mean with it while on desktop? What video, what sound? What I see is that all three of the screens are completely black and I hear the normal X-Plane sounds. So, it seems to me that X-Plane...

The latest I'm seeing on Matrox.com is vxp2k_gxm-veos_2_05_00_020_whql I'd re-installed Windows about a week ago to put Windows 7 RTM on my machine and I was able to get 5040x1050 working with the latest 190 series nVidia drivers when I used the latest Matrox software. However, I disabled PowerDesk ...

I received a copy of Windows 7 RTM as part of a Microsoft training event. I've got it installed and can confirm that this is still a problem with Windows 7.

Again, in XP it works fine, but in Windows Vista/7 the 5040x1050 resolution results in a black screen.

I'm about to take the Win7 dive tonight with a fresh install, a 9800 GX2, and the 186 series driver.

I'll post my results from the other side.

anyone gotten 5040x1050 to work on Vista? I can get it to work on XP, but not on Vista. On Vista, all I get is a full black screen. Eventually, I can hear sound but I never get video.

I noticed the last time I re-installed Windows that I had to disconnect my TH2Go and directly connect my monitor to the video card for the install to work. It looked like the Windows hardware detection hung/crashed and that it was failing on detecting the TH2Go. As soon as I removed the TH2Go, the W...

I just got home from work and tested 2D mode. It doesn't work. It splits the screen in half horizontally. The top half is all of the scenery and that appears to display okay. The bottom half (where the 2D cockpit should be) is all black. If I switch to 3D/Virtual Cockpit it suddenly works 100% fine.
