Radeon 9200 and the Extended Desktop

garystew · #1 February 14th, 2005, 10:28 AM

Hi everyone, I'm a brand new Hoster user and I have run into only one problem. Can anyone tell me how to activate the Extended Desktop. I have followed the instruction for the ATI card help and still can locate the control that allows this to be set. I have the dual display working; however, I think I'm only in clone mode.

Thanks!

I'm begging to understand a little better. When I bring up the display properties, it only shows the single monitor. Both are working but are clone displays. Just wondering why I don't see the TV monitor in the display properties window.

how about a little info on what you are running for a system. is it an MTU Computer ???

Did you install the video card yourself ??

I'm running on a Sony 3.4ghz 2GB Ram 500GB HD,
Radeo 9200 Vid. This is a top of the line system, and I'm a computer professional. Generally, I never have any kind of problem that I can't handle.

Never used dual displays before so this part is new to me.

you need to get out of clone display and into extend desktop.

Hello Gary,
I was always under the impression you needed a matched pair of memory, i.e. 2x256mb, so they have separate info on both.
I've never tried running 2 screens, without, so perhaps I'm whistling in the dark.
Regards from across the pond.

The matched memory has no effect on that.

Are you using the latest drivers from ATI or the ones that come on the install CD?

Sounds like you might not have had the TV Plugged in before you booted the computer up. The only time that I have ever seen the one monitor under the Display settings on the Built By ATI Radeon 9200 card, is when I didn't hook the tv up, before powering up the system.

What is the exact Video card that you have, is it an ATI Radeon 9200 from ATI, or is it one from another manufacturer?

Thanks everyone for the response. I eventually went to the ATI site and download the new drivers. Everything works perfectly.
