I just setup dual monitor suport and it really rules. I have one screen for maxima.org and the other is playing The Fast and Furious =). Anyay, dual monitor support is cool

 

Matrox?

 

i assume you don't have a mac...
i've been doing dual monitors for over 10 years now.

 

Do you have a dual monitor video card or just 2 video cards? I was wondering how that would work. How do you control 2 different sets of monitors? Is it just like a real wide desktop?

Thanks.

I have two vidoe cards. One AGP and on PCI. If i were to do it again Id get to PCI cards that were the same. Im having major tech issues with my setup right now. If i have my monitor on anything higher than 640 x 480 when i restart my Main monitor will say sync out of range and ill have ot restart in safe mode, change the res. boot back into windows change res to 256 color 640 480, then win makes me reboot, then i can change it to 32 bit and whatever res. i want. But if i forget to change the res wheni turn off the computer i have to do that all over. Its a real ***** and im not sure why its doing it...
Main card is tnt2 (AGP) and secondary card is a ATI Xpert 98 (pci)

Any ideas, anyone?

 

sounds like Win98... right?... Win2K Pro. will handle things like this much better. hope that helps. Plus, it's one the most stable OSs i've ever used.
