Now I basically took this from another forum which never got a resolution, so if this story sounds familiar, that's why.
PROBLEM:
I try to configure the second monitor, so I can extend my XP desktop to the second monitor (TV). But, it doesn't work.
CONFIGURATION:
- MacBook 13 inch (new as of August 2008)
- I connect external TV using DVI-to-Video (RCA) adapter from MacBook
- TV is on line input. I boot native Windows XP using Boot Camp Assistant.
- My graphic display chipset is: Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
- I have the latest driver (14.34.4.4964) from 6/27/2008
DESCRIPTION:
During XP boot, the "Windows XP starting up" screen flickers on the TV, and does not display at all on the MacBook screen. Then, the XP login screen appears on the MacBook screen, and the TV goes blank/dark. This is odd, but somewhat acceptable as I haven't configured the second monitor yet.
In Display Properties, I select the 2nd monitor and "Extend desktop". I hit Apply or OK, but both result in the same - the 2nd monitor doesn't "stick". I immediately launch Display Properties again, and it always resets back to the 1st monitor.
I click Advanced, and go to Graphic Properties for the Intel chip. It, too, doesn't recognize the 2nd monitor.
I updated the Intel driver to its latest (14.34.4.4964, 6/27/2008). The Release Notes for this driver seem to acknowledge this Known Issue:
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver
Production Version 14.34.4.4964
Mobile Intel(R) GME965 Express Chipset
Known Issues in Build 6.14.10.4964
6/27/2008
Ref #2554444
Blank screen displayed on TV in Extended Desktop mode
(Analog Monitor+TV) after hot-plugging the TV. Windows XP
Intel 3 Series Chipset Family
QUESTIONS:
Q: Is my 965 chip also known as "GME965", "X3100", "Intel 3 Series"?
According to this link, my chip does NOT appear to be Intel 3 Series:

According to this link, my chip appears to be synonymous with X3100:

"The Mobile Intel® GME965 Express chipset featuring the Mobile
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100..."
Q: Does anyone know if a fix to #2554444 will actually resolve my problem?
Q: Does anyone know if/when #2554444 will be resolved in a new driver?
Q: How often does Intel release a new driver?
This Known Issue appeared in the April 2008 and June 2008 Release Notes. Maybe, another driver is due in August...?
OTHER NOTES:
I am able to successfully extend my display to the TV when I boot my Mac OSX on the MacBook. This confirms that the graphic card, DVI-to-Video, cables, and TV are all working. It does point to a Windows driver issue!
I welcome any insight you have in getting my display to my TV.
Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated. The only reason I need XP on here is so I can use EasyWorship for my youth group. My church owns a site license. Right now I am just stuck using powerpoint, but want to get on the level of "big church" ASAP for a more professional look.
Note: we use TV's in youth room, not a projector.
