Hi All, Long time reader, first time poster.
I am trying to add a second PCI-E video card to my system so I can add a third monitor (TV) and I am unable to get the second video card working.
In the Device Manager, my Device status for the new VC says: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
I think this indicates that my MoBo is not set up correctly and no memory is being assigned to the new VC. I went into the BIOS and tried to set all options that may affect this (except for SLI). The message would not disappear
I updated my NVIDIA driver and ensured that it applied to both VCs. No dice. I have also tried to force detection of a TV on bootup from the NVIDIA control panel.
Does anyone have any more ideas?
MoBo: ASUS M2N-E SLI
OS: Vista x64
VC1: GeForce 8600 GTS (PCI-E)
VC2: GeForce 8400 GS (PCI-E)
VC1 is feeding two monitors
VC2 will be feeding one LCD TV
Note: I am NOT using SLI as this does not support 3 monitors.
Note2: I am also a Debian Gnome user, so if you have any ideas of how to modify the xorg.conf, I'm listening. TwinView is currently used but I don't know how to add a second device to it.
Thanks in advance!
