I've got a radeon 1950x pro and it currently is outputting to two screens. how do i make both screens display the same thing rather than just giving me a bigger desktop? I'm sorry if it's a lame question.

Cheers
Tom

Not sure why you would want to do that, but either way I'm not sure it's possible. At least not with any version of Windows that I'm aware of.

I'm not too familiar with ATI as of late but I'd think that'd be in the video drivers...Catalyst Control Center?

It is possible. Look for an option called "Clone Display" or some thing smiler.

Ok, so you've gotten your multiple monitor setup configured and working so you have two seperate desktops, but now you want to go back to one desktop but have it displayed on two monitors.

 

To do this, first.
If you have an ATI based card, just unclick the Extend Desktop on this monitor option in Display Properties > Settings.
Reboot your pc, but leave the monitor plugged in.
Once back up, your 2nd monitor might come alive with a 'cloned' image of whats on monitor 1. If so, your good to go.

 

If not, you might need to go into: Display Properties > Settings > Advanced Settings (for primary monitor).

 

Then go to the Display Tabs and see if the monitor is enabled and in clone mode.

 

Nvidia cards are similar in this respect.
In clone mode, if you watch a movie, it should show the Movie Fullscreen on the cloned monitor. If not, you will need to go into your Display Properties > Settings > Advanced Settings and check for an option, Full Screen Overlay or perhaps an option in the Clone Mode (ATI cards) or Overlays (Nvidia cards).

It is definitely possible, especially with a card that new.

Open Catalyst Control centre, select Displays Manager, etc You want your second monitor to be in clone mode.
