Doom 3 BFG edition on GTX 670 3D vision 2 - 3d not enabling - is it the driver, can someone check fo...
  5 / 5    
Ok, I had some time today and decided to try the EDID flashing. Well, at least reading it from the monitor. I enabled the writing in the service menu of the monitor, DDC / CI is on in the OSD menu. I ran ddcw from a DOS-booted flash drive but I get a fatal error, no communication. I have tried ports 0, 1 and 2 (I have two DVIs on the video card) to no avail. I tried to have the service menu active while running the prog also as suggested on some site but no joy. I wonder if it can be the cable (DVI dual link?). I am only trying to READ the EDID for now, will decide later if I really want to flash it. In any case I prepped the EDID file to flash just in case :-) and I learned a bit about this which is not bad I suppose. Anyway I will hook up the monitor to another PC with simple DVI and try again... it does not have to be the card that will use it, does it? But must be DVI, right? I'm only posting this here because I do this only to be able to play that ^##$@ Doom3 BFG.. well and maybe to eliminate the EDID soft override. Actually, this flash will only write the basic EDID, not the extended so maybe I still need the software (.INF) override? IF it will ever work, that is.

Perhaps you are talking about a different thing not what I'm thinking about but if not .... You don't need to flash the INF, it is not like a bios file. You just install it as a driver ( In windows not on the monitor itself). Don't ruin your hardware. For reading your original Edid you just need Moninfo and preferably a short cable.

Thanks but already did the INFO thing, EDID Override with VG236 for my VG278H, everything works except DOOM3 BFG who checks EDID at hardware level.. and I guess I'm looking for trouble lol. And it seems you cannot ruin the hardware easily , or at least you can restore it. IF you can talk to it in the first place... Put my VG278H on another PC, I get a different error message from ddcw this time - 'error accessing EIDI info, check hardware'. MonInfo? I'll search for it. So length of cable matters... I have a fairly long DVI dual link cable. There are other tools but some need Linux and I don;t have time to fiddle now... this edcw seemed like a simple thing but it does not like my monitor. Maybe it is just too old... There must be better newer soft tools to back up / flash EDID...\ EDIT: Bah, MonInfo simply reads the registry - I'd like a utility that reads the hardware EDID... Eg now it reads that my monitor is a VG236 which is of course wrong :-) (overriddeen in registry)
