How to run two
monitors without a cardbus card on a laptop:

If you have a
laptop running XP, simply hook up a monitor via the VGA port. You can then
configure XP to use both the laptop screen and the attached monitor as dual
monitors. Works great. No cards to install.

Right click on
desktop, choose properties, Settings Tab. Also click on the Advanced
button then click on the Displays Tab.

davisSubject: [amibroker] TWO MONITORS
I don't know much about computers. I got a
good deal on the below described Dual head card. I emailed Matrox asking
if it would work with Amibroker software.
Below, I have pasted the Matrox answers
to my questions. A computer friend tells me that the
statement immediately following this sentence is confusing.
(You will need to use PCI video cards to set up
multimonitor.) My
friend tells me that an AGB slot is a later model slot than the PCI slot,
and support has already identified my Dual card as an AGP type
card, so why is Matrox support telling me that I will need to use PCI
video cards in order to set up multimonitor?
Have any of you found that Amibroker charts will
work well with my Matrox G450 AGP Dual head card? I realize that the
built in card on the motherboard will be disabled. If any Amibroker
users have had success with this card, then I will email support one more time
for complete instructions on how to install it. All help will be
appreciated. Ron D
Hello The card you have is a Matrox G450 AGP Dual Head card with 32
MB of memory. This card can support dual monitor output, but compatibility
with third party graphics, while possible is not always easy. There is a limit
to the amount of compatibility testing we both can do and even a greater limit
on working together with competitors to fix and compatibility issue.
There is an AGP slot on the PC but the integrated video is AGP as
well. This mean that when you plug in the AGP card the onboard will be
disabled. You will need to use PCI video cards to set up
multimonitor. Send
