It could be a monitor and video card driver problem. I have the TV out on my
ATI video card and I used to use a Sony Trinitron monitor. Could always get
the picture on monitor and tv at same time no prob. I then switched to a
Samsung LCD monitor with same ATI video card and now the monitor loses sync
when tv picture is up and I can only see one at a time. Occationally they
will both all of a sudden work, but it's rare. The only difference in the
setup was the new monitor so I assume it the monitor drivers. I did try the
monitor with a different new ATI video card and it all seems to work fine.
So it looks like the combo of the video card/drivers and the monitor drivers
just don't jive. I would just try updating all your drivers, maybe it will
help.
