quad montior setup

[mrface]

I am running two pci 9200 se's and am trying to run four monitors. i can get two of the monitors to show the screen(one on pci card) but the other screens (on the other card) will not show anything. any suggestions?

i have tested both cards and both work fine. i even put an agp card in the computer and got it to boot up with three screens(the agp card only had one monitor support) but it locks up on the windows 2k bootup screen on the pci i card and the agp card runs into windows fine.

I don't mean to insult ur intelligence, but did you enable to 3rd and 4th monitors in the Display Properties?

nah thats fine. yeah i tried enableing it but it is grayed out. it wont let me.

isnt there some sort of problem with 7500 and 8500 not allowing two pcis devices?

I'm not sure how Hydravision deals with 3-4+ monitors, it is possible, but you may need better software like UltraMon etc.

3rd party apps are really the way to go when considering a full time 3+ monitor setup (unless you use Matrox that is, their software is top notch).

IF I get a chance I'll see how the AIW PCI I have plays with the R9600P.
