ATI 690G/x1250 problems (1 Viewer)

Any ideas what else besides flipY="true" may need to be changed?

Aren't those animations turned off as well with the switch in configuration->general?

I had already turned off animations.

Changing the flipY value from true to false is not enough. The flipY="true" statement must be removed.

Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H AMD690G with X1250 graphics
Latest bios (F3) doesen't helps

Thankyou all who replied.

Although driver 7.2 with Catalyst Control Centre (aka CCC) disabled (not running on startup) worked, I can confirm ;

7.10 works with CCC enabled after replacing flipy="true" with flipy="false" in all skin xml files.
(7.10 seems to be much better than 7.2 especially since i can now run 1360x768)
And disabling hot keys in the CCC is a good idea

And I can recommend this simple free tool to do a batch search and replace ;

You can run 1360x768 with 7.2 driver.

The Radeon display driver is built to support a number of display modes that are not enabled in the driver by default.

Use ATI's Radeon ModeMaker Program to do this

From a programmer's point-of-view this shouldn't make a difference. Weird.

I agree but the only possibility that I can think of is that I hadn't deleted the skin cache.

I've set flipY=false in the sources. Doesn't helps!

Since this is somewat starting to be a 690G-thred:

Anybody know how to force 50 Hz (PAL) (@1080p)


(... I'm starting to miss nVidia)

ATI's Radeon ModeMaker: http://www.radeon.ru/tools/modemaker.zip

Please, read documentation, you can add any resolution via registry modification. (DALNonStandardModesBCD key)

Additionally you can use moninfo http://www.entechtaiwan.net/files/moninfo.exe to get info which resolutions your TV/Monitor supports. I was surprised when discovered that my TV supports native resolution 1360x768 via VGA cable only, but not via HDMI!


http://www.entechtaiwan.com/files/pstrip-i.exe - superior program to play with non standard resolutions

Well, my monitor does not "support" 1080p @ 50Hz - only 60 (reading EDID), but it works fine
Thanks for the links!

EDIT:

At any rate, it is possible to enable these modes by adding registry keys to turn them on, IF your monitor reports that it supports these modes

Any brave ones try the new 7.11 drivers yet? Is the freeze issue still there? (I am stuck at work!)
