No Driver Tab in Display Options...

#1 Post by mosley » Sun Oct 17, 2004 7:27 pm

I am trying to hook my Thinkpad T22 to my TV using S-Video. I have the latest video driver (version: 6.13.10.7050), but do not see any driver tab in the Display Options, Settings, Advanced location.

Any suggestions

Cable connected to the TV and the TV on?

Yes the S-video cable is connecter to the TV, and the TV is turned on. I still do not have the Display tab on the advanced options.

The latest video driver for your system is 7.90.50 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... IGR-4JRNJB, not 6.13.10.

Have you?:

Gone to Start
Select Settings, then Control Panel Display, and then select Settings
Click Advanced button and then select S3DuoVue
TV-out may be enabled here by checking the box for TV

Try re-booting with the TV on and connected, the T22 should pick up the "new" hardware and then you can access the TV under advanced options.

this is weird...

That is the file I used to update my video driver, but the version is incorrect.

I also noticed, but forgot to mention, that there tab called S3DuoVue, but TV-out is grayed out, so I cannot select it.

I am trying to re-install the driver, and I will try to connect the computer to the TV then boot up.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Another interesting note:

I read the README file on the link for the video driver download. It said to determine which version is installed select the S3DuoVue tab, and click the information button.

The result:

Driver: 6.13.10.7050-7.90.50
Date: 1/24/2003

By the way, The TV-out option is still grayed.

Well, I tried connectint the computer to my TV with the S-video cable and the booting up the computer. This did not work either. And it seems I have the latest video driver. What else am I doing wrong?
