Hi:

I am getting really disgusted. I have seen database setups on this site about using a matrox g200tv and a second card/monitor, but can't get mine to work!

I better tell you what I have:

PIII 800
256k mem
asus tusl2-c motherboard
40 gig ultradma 100 hd
dvd/cdrom 16x
plextor cdrw 12x
matrox g200tv 8meg
17" studioworks 77i
matrox mystique 220 2meg (both sw off)
19" princeton

I just want to watch tv on one screen and work on the other. (sigh)

I have another matrox g200tv and a matrox 1622 coming. Want 2 of these setups.

thanks in advance for the help!

Hi Again:

I have tried all posible switch combonations on the mystique and pci priority and agp/pci primary in the bios.

Nothing. I can get 2 monitors, but not 2 monitors w/tv.

Hi:

I was trying to do the setup in winme and finally realized the other setups in the database were with win2000. At first, I really didn't think there would be that much difference. All the difference in the world. Sure seems that gates is making alot of wierd and different oses charteristics between 98/me/nt/2000/xp!!!

I now have it setup in win2000 the way I wanted!
I have the MB primary display as AGP, no priority on pci 1 and mystique switches are both on, which disables VGA and bios. Primary display in win2000 is the agp g200tv and the second monitor is on the right of the primary display.

Everything is right with the world except I have lost my firewire network! gained ntfs.

Although I am the only one on this thread, maybe someone else will be able to use this info.
