Hi All,

Just purchased a new MOBO / memory & APU as below to replace my ageing rig.

I need dual monitors running as I use the rig as a Karaoke / DJ. In my old giga board I output via the VGA port to Karaoke screens the DVI to my screen.

Problem is no matter how I config this board, I can not get it to see two monitors plugged into the VGA & DVI ports. I know if I enable dual DVI output in the BIOS it disables ALL the other ports, but when I do this I get a max resolution of 860 which can not be changed. If I disable the Radeon driver and use the stock Windows 7 driver I can get full range of resolution !.

I disable the BIOS dual DVI option and the board will not see the DVI monitor but will see it if I plug it into the VGA port.

First system I have built with the FM1 footprint.

Only one Radeon 6550 is showing in device manager... shouldn't there be two?

Is this a fault on the APU or have I over looked something?

You state that, "The Stock version of Windows 7 allows you full resolution", but you didn't mention which version of the Radeon Driver your are using???

Hi,

Can't remember the version no. now.

I've RMA'd the board as it is not giving dual display on DVI or as a stand alone.

Thanx for the interest though.
