The machine is hooked to the TV so I did all my debugging using the TV
and never used a normal monitor at all. On these machine I have to
choose a specific output - TV or monitor - in BIOS. My experience with
these Asus machines is the Phoenix BIOS didn't do a good job of
auto-selecting which output to use and I didn't want to confuse things
as my needs are TV only. I think I tried a monitor once, probably got
a blank screen, and then gave up and just used the TV from there on.
In your friend's case, if she's using a monitor sometimes and a TV
sometimes, then that's beyond my experience on these boxes and you are
unfortunately more on your own. I know the machine will drive a
monitor - I have a 3rd that I use that way - but I've not had luck
getting it to switch back and forth on command, although I haven't
tried very hard.
Good luck,
Mark
