SYMPTOMS
When you try to use an ATI Rage Pro Turbo video adapter with a television output and SEC 811 SGRAM as the secondary adapter in a multiple-monitor configuration, you may experience one of the following symptoms on the secondary display:
 * Horizontal banding that may appear similar to an incorrect monitor frequency setting.
 * Garbled or unreadable display.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if your ATI Rage Pro Turbo video adapter uses Mitsubishi 8ns SGRAM. A timing problem exists with the Mitsubishi 8ns SGRAM that can generate the behavior listed earlier in this article when used in a multiple-monitor configuration.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, contact ATI to inquire about the availability of a fix for this issue.

To try to work around this issue, reduce the screen area setting in Display Properties:
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
 * 2) Click your secondary video adapter in the Display box, and then reduce your screen area by using the Screen area slider.
 * 3) Click OK, and then restart your computer.
