Hi
I have a Ati Radeon (w/ Hydra vision) and a S3 Virge. Which enables me to have 3 independent monitors at one time.
But when I installed the S3 card, the card got numbered like this:
1. S3
2. ATI - CRT
3. ATI - TV out
is there anyway to change this into:
1. ATI - CRT
2. S3
3. ATI - TV out
Thanks for any help

Quick answer:

If you're running windows 9x - no, 2k/xp have "use the adapter as primary" checkbox in "Display Properties".

Thanks for the reply but I already set the ATI as primary. The setting is shown like this.

[2 - ATI CRT] [1 - S3 CRT] [3 - ATI TV]
|
Primary

I would like it to be like this:
[1 - ATI CRT] [2 - S3 CRT] [3 - ATI TV]
|
Primary

If you understand what I mean

If one is AGP and the other is PCI change your CMOS setting to use the AGP as primary display. (Assuming the ATI is the AGP card). If the S3 is AGP set the CMOS to use the PCI as primary. If they are both PCI place the one you want to use a primary in a lower numbered PCI slot (closer to the AGP slot).
