act labs light guns and k7400

I've got two act labs usb light guns that worked great on a pc monitor, but I've been unable to get the calibrate screen to come up on my K7400, Soft15kHz, and separate v and h sync setup.

I've tried several non-interlaced resolutions and all I get is a single white line at the top.

Anyone have any insight on anything else to try?

Decided to re-visit this issue since I'm really itching to play some gun games on my large monitor..

I pulled out a beleaguered K7000 I have (really needs a capkit, and the plastic retainer on the yoke has disintegrated) and hooked it up to a PC off the 'pile'. The PC has on-board ATI graphics (Radeon IGP 320 according to display properties) running drivers 6.14 10.

I hooked up one of my guns, flipped it to calibrate, and got a proper white screen, just as I should.

In fact, even though the convergence is off by almost a quarter of an inch on all colors, the image is flag waving like a hurricane, and the top and bottom is rolled, it was still surprisingly accurate.

I guess it's time play musical video cards/drivers and see what happens.

Well perhaps it's a monitor issue then.

I just hooked my existing configured cab PC to this K7000 and it worked and calibrated correctly.

Now I'm really confused. What could be different about the K7400 that the calibration screen would not display?



lilshawn:

can you post a photo of the non-working monitor on a standard game test screen (something that fills the screen crosshatch etc.) and then one with the calibration screen in it's line format.

perhaps if we had some photos of the actual monitor with the issue, we can better give out opinion of what the issue may be.

newmanfamilyvlogs:

Will do. I'm away from the the machine at the moment to take a picture with the gun attached and in calibrate mode, however here are some pictures of a crosshatch. I was attempting to do a single large panorama. None the less this should show you what you want to see:
