Dual monitor problem

Recommended Posts

I have a gf2mx400 agp and a matrox g200 pci.

i used to use them for dual monitors under xp and 2k on my 440bx

then one of my monitors broke

and i upgraded to the daul p3 i840 board

i can't seem to get widows xp to show both video cards in the display properties anymore. Both show up in the device man but only the matrox shows up in the disp props.

i have tried may different combonations of bios settings. There is on pci display first setting like there was on my bx. I have tried the pci card in every different pci slot including the 64 bit pci slots.

i don't know what to do to get this working. I was thinking of getting another gf2mx but a pci version and then hoping that the nvidia drivers would recognize both in the disp props.

 

any ideas. I really don't want to gamble on buying a new card and should have what i need to get it working right now.

Did you install the PCI card without the AGP? Both Windows 2000 and XP requires that you install the PCI and onboard first. Try removing the AGP adapter and booting without it. Then reinstall it and see what happens.
