ATI Radeon X1200 Series

Whytey · 09-11-2009, 02:59 AM

I downloaded the Catalyst Control Center for ATI Radeon X1200 Video Card.
Everytime the computer starts up i have to manually select the screen resolution and color quality.
Even if i select the screen resolution with a saved profile i still have to set the color quality as its always at 16-bit.

Any help in getting this set automatic would be great

Is there some resason you HAVE to have the CCC?

If it worked OK before, then uninstall CCC.

There was some display resolution issue i couldn't set it to 1680x1050.

Even if i uninstalled it i would still need the older driver right?

'There was some display resolution issue i couldn't set it to 1680x1050.

More info re the computer/motherboard and monitor used would be helpful.

I don't have a lot of experience with ATI, but I don't see why 'older' drivers would be necessary.

I have uninstalled the new driver and rolled back to the one supplied with motherboard.
i found that CCC was on that and i was able to set the correct resolution.

Although am not sure if it will save the settings upon the next startup. I will reply back if it does not.

Thanks

I have just restarted and i still have to set the profile in CCC.
It's not much of a problem but it can get quite annoying.

A poster here ( http://www.driverheaven.net/windows-...t-working.html ) said (with reference to a laptop mind you) "go to the Advanced Catalyst Control Panel and then go Notebook Panel Properties and then attributes.
Now change the Scaling Options to Full screen and then apply"
