Hello,

Been using your utility on and off for most of this year - and finally purchased it last month.

I was using a S3 Savage 2000 and two ATi Mach64s to drive 3 14" monitors (luxury!).

I just upgraded to a Radeon 8500LE. Apart from that the setup has not changed.

The Radeon has native support for 2 monitors - but one of them would need ot be DVI which i don't have.

However the Radeon 8500LE believes there is a second monitor there. So when I flick back to 'all-screens mode' from 'single-monitor mode' a phantom monitor is enabled. Generally in between two of the other monitors at random.

Is there a way of selecting which monitors are re-enabled with the clicking of the systray icon rather than the default all?

Thanks in advance.

You can tell UltraMon to ignore this monitor, this way it won't be enabled/disabled, and will not appear anywhere in the UltraMon user interface.

To configure ignored monitors, go to Options > Ignored Monitors.

Thanks - obvious.

But hey it can be done and i don't mind demonstrating my ignorance if I can then get to the functionality.

Thanks again.

Okay - at home now and trying the tweak.

I disabled it manually and can see no disable monitor message that relates to single monitor choice? Do i need an update?

Did you configure the ignored monitors setting under Options > Ignored Monitors?

If you don't have this tab, you'll need to install a newer version. RC2 will be released tomorrow, I would recommend waiting for this release.
