so i just installed my radeon 7000 (dvi/vga) and hooked up a 19" CRT (to dvi via adapter) and a 15" LCD to the vga. installed ultramon. neither ultramon or the ati software notices my CRT. my CRT is on and mirroring the LCD. but i would like to change the resolution on my CRT. i also can't do other things like moving windows, etc. help please. thanks.

I think, R7000 have just one RAMDAC, so no-go. Buy another PCI card or Radeon VE, 7500, 8500, 9000 or GeF 4 Ti Series or Matrox Parhelia, G450, G550.

I also have a Radeon VE(7000) and am using ultramon and 2 monitors,mon 1 is a 21 inch Hitachi CM802,mon 2 is a 19 inch magview. I had a similar problem at first,both monitors are CRT's so I am using the adapter that came with my Radeon for the 2nd mon. I was getting my desktop mirrored on both monitors which is usless for my needs(photoshop,gimp,etc.).I didn't have a second monitor showing up on my settings tab in the display properties.I am using WinXP Pro and had installed drivers that I had downloaded from the web.After lots of screaming "Why is this hard it should be simple!!"(yes I'm a n00b),I realized my drivers must be the problem.I found drivers that had been downloaded from ATI long before I decided to use 2 mon.My card is an actual built by ATI retail card I got off newegg.com (32MB version).I got the card because ATI has better 2D and I am not much of a gamer.Always knew I had dual ramdacs but never thought I needed them,but now WOW 2 mon ROCKS!!I'll never go back.Anyway the drivers I have installed now are version 6.13.10.6071 after installing these I had 2 mon in my display properties and all has worked flawlessly ever since especially after installing ultramon.I don't even have hydravision installed anymore.

Hmm, are there two versions of R7000? Regular R7000 (one RAMDAC) in Radeon VE (2 RAMDACs, without T&l)?
