Vista - Radeon X1800 TV-Out

Does anyone know how to get TV-Out with this card without it interfering
with the desktop? Its an S-Video output to the TV, and DVI to the monitor.
If I leave it so only the monitor is selected, then I can change the
resolution up to my usual 1280x1024. If I put the Clone to the TV, however,
the desktop drops straight to 1024x768, matching the TV resolution, and
refuses to change for anything.

Is this just a problem with the ATI drivers being in beta? I imagine they
wouldn't focus so much on the TV output, as the drivers they've made would
no doubt be for developers working on the Vista platform, but if not.. how
to fix it?

I never did like the ATI drivers for dual outputs, it didn't work too well
on WinXP 32bit either. Actually, theres a lot of things I don't like about
the ATI drivers, the control panel is so unfriendly.

The S-Video (alias TV-Out) standard only supports a 480i 4:3 aspect ratio
displays of images no larger then 1024x768. So for clone mode to work the
desktop cannot be anything larger AFAIK.
