This one if for recognized or self-proclaimed nVidia gurus out there, or anyone that can help:
Motivated by the recent MKK PC release and a few other reasons (like 64-bit MAME), I'm trying to migrate my cab to Windows 7. My video card is a GTS-250. One problem I'm facing is that I use a CRT TV 480i with component inputs.
In Windows XP with older nVidia drivers, I can set my desktop and applications to any resolution I want and the driver will make the video card scale everything to 480i for my TV, so I can clone my PC monitor without issues. This allows me a lot of flexibility and bypasses issues with applications that don't like 640x480, etc. Newer drivers don't allow for this flexibility and you have to essentially use span mode to have a different resolution in each monitor, or use 480i for both monitors.
Now, in Windows 7, the trick of using the old drivers doesn't work. No matter how many times I set the TV signal format to 480i in the nVidia control panel, it simple won't take. The image will come up all garbled because it's pumping to the TV, the full 1024x768p that I use on the PC monitor.
Does anybody have any insight on how I can force the driver to scale everything to 480i like I can with WinXP?
