    So my r1 m11x is being weird when hooking up to my Panasonic plasma to play crysis via hdmi I can't display the picture on only the TV, I get a black screen on the TV. I can display something on the TV though if I "clone" or "extend" the desktop but if I try to "project" the desktop I get the black screen. So now I am having to play crysis on my TV and my laptop screen is still on showing my desktop.
    I have tried changing the resolution to 720p, 1360x768, and 1080p. Nothing seems to work. If the desktop is being extended I can have the m11x on ita native resolution and the Panasonic on its native resolution, but its when trying to get the display only on the TV that I run into this problem. The TV displays from my and 5850 desktop just fine. So I am just at a loss.


    Any ideas?
