Hello,

I have three monitors, two of which I want displaying the same image (mirrored/duplicated).

These are my two main displays: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009422
My third monitor is also a drawing tablet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009QQ7BG0/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=frenden-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B009QQ7BG0

My graphics card is an NIVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 with two DVI-I ports.

The splitter I ordered is this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA3XT1DD0533 It is a DVI-I male to two VGA female splitter.

I wanted my second monitor and my tablet to have the same display, however, the splitter will only display one of the monitors that is plugged into it. I tried it with my monitor and tablet and also with both of my monitors, but regardless of the combination, it only displays one and can't detect the other.
I only want to duplicate displays, not to have three standalone monitors. i.e. [1] [2] [2]

I don't know what factors are keeping me from splitting my display, and any help is appreciated. Thank you.

So, the graphics card supports two monitors just fine. i7Baby, according to what you said (I don't know how I missed that...probably because it makes ZERO SENSE), the splitter can only support one output? Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the splitter? Do I just need to order a different splitter cable from a different company?
