New Features
The CATALYST™ software suite now provide a Force TV
Detection feature.
Force TV Detection
Some TV sets may use
non-standard inputs resulting in the TV enable button continuing to stay grayed
out in the ATI Displays tab. This issue is address by a Troubleshoot button that
is now available. This button allows the user to force detection of their TV.
However, features that rely on automatic detection of the TV will not be

time the system is restarted.
