Configuration Utility Problems (Device: Not Found)

When I start the Oculus Configuration Utility I get "Device: Not Found" even though my RiftDK seems to work fine with every demo I throw at it (as long as I'm willing to jump through the hoops to get stupid demos to start on the right monitor, why doesn't Unity have that option?).

It won't let me start the IPD configuration tool.

At one point it did let me try to start the "Interactive Utility", but all that did was blink my monitors, scramble all of my windows (moving all windows from monitor 1 to monitor 2), and then fail.

I did a search but was surprised to find no mention of this. Could it be I'm the only one?

    After unplugging my splitter and plugging the RiftDK directly in, the utility was able to find the RiftDK just fine. This is the first program I've used that was so strict about how it was going to work. Even with the splitter, my computer is able to recognize the Rift display as "Rift DK" and knows the recommended setting is 1280x800.

    I took this system information while the splitter was hooked up:

    The splitter probably was mis-reporting the EDID. This is a common problem.

    Splitters tend to pick a random EDID to report back to the host. You may need to figure out a set sequence of plugging in the monitor then the Rift, or the Rift then the monitor, to get it to work. There's a lot of tossing of chicken bones and throwing salt over specific shoulders involved. I wish splitters would just have a frikkin button marked "pick the other one" that you could press.

    I wonder which API I need to use to get the EDID. Then I could write a program to help me out :)

    Maybe the tools should let you specify a monitor if it can't find one. Especially if it's able to detect the head tracker hardware.

    Well, I do have a spliter, but thats cuz' my graphic card has only one entranse, tought it comes with the spliter since it is made for 4 monitors(I only have 1 monitor sadly) and is a proprietary entrace, so I wondered if there was a way to fix the EDID with out toking off the splitter.....

    Hoo... nevermind, It seems that since I had the OR on 1680x1050, it didn't detect it, I changed it back to 1280x800 and it worked out....
