Surface Tweak Tool for Surface Pro 2 - Release!

[GoodBytes]

March firmware update was release. I didn't test it yet (will do tonight), but it suppose to provide improve Miracast support, and DisplayPort 1.2 daisy chaining (among other fixes and improvements):

If anyone here wants to get it, be sure to remember to have your Surface Pro 2 plugged in, fully charged at 100%, and the keyboard connected.
All tweaks set using Surface Tweak Tool related to the Intel integrated graphics will be lost and will need to be re-applied after the firmware upgrade, as the graphic drivers will be updates, so all settings that you set will be lost.

I just got it. Yes, Microsoft releases firmware upgrades in batches to not overload their servers.
It also includes a bunch of Windows, and Office updates at the same time as we are Tuesday.

I think the only feature I need and everyone else needs is fullscreen on low resolution (black boarders when gaming on lower resolution) the feature is available on intel graphics control panel, under display I think. This would help out surface pro 2 gaming alot.

Would be nice to change the option of 1920 x 1080 (scale to maintain full screen to scaled to full screen),thus the problem would fix the black borders on games.

GoodBytes thanks for the program,is very good.

Greetings.

I've just gotten into the habit of dropping desktop resolution down to either 1280x720 or 1366x768 (typically what I use) before launching a game that I run at reduced res... It's a couple extra clicks on the desktop but eliminates this problem, works every time.

I do agree however that this step shouldn't be required.

Yea I have been looking into it. Intel doesn't support this. The option only appears and works when you drop the resolution first on the desktop. It's retarded but what can you do. It's Intel.

My attempt to extract files resulted in AVG antivirus reporting two infections? Is this a possible false positive?

 

[GoodBytes]

False positive. The program is portable one, so all needed files are included in the executable. Some Anti-virus assumes it's a type of virus or malware because of that.

I just noticed something today.... Microsoft has added the Intel control panel in the latest firmware. Right-click on the desktop and its there.
Can people confirm this? If so, should I remove it from my tweak software? Or keep it for people with the old firmware?

Hey I installed this tweak just yesterday after the latest update. When I try to use the pen calibration, regardless which of the 3 options I choose, an error comes up saying "Invalid Grid Data"
Any solution?
Cheers

Hmm... is your Surface Pro 2 in landscape? Try that if you were holing it in portrait.
Also, your screen resolution needs to be 1920x1080. The native resolution of the Surface Pro 2.

Yes I can confirm that. Also shows an Intel icon in the system tray.

Thanks again for your work!
