    Not sure exactly why, but it has something to do with the way ATI have programmed the drivers to allow you to use 2 monitors or 1 monitor and 1 TV output at the same time..

    You must make sure both have the drivers installed for it to work, then you use display properties to adjust the tv or second monitor output.

    Or turn it to single display only, if you only use one output.
