Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Laptop with intel82845G multiple monitor will clone but not split

Im hoping someone can help me.
I have an EiSystem 4406 laptop with an intel82845g/gl/ge/pe/pv graphics controller.
(thats what it says!)

I have downloaded the most recent drivers.

I can plug a monitor in to the VGA slot and using the clone type thing, but I want to use it as two seperate montors and extend my desktop across it.

This is mostly so I can use powerpoint and view slides on one and slideshow on another.

Do i need to thow my laptop away and start again or is there anyway to work around this.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I don't know anything about that laptop's video card, but one option is to add a PCMCIA (cardbus) video card for the second display.

I got the same laptop but as far as i`m aware you can only clone the screen so both screens show the same desktop. In other words it`s not possible to do what your wanting unless theres an "add-on" somewhere which i doubt as i wont expect a laptop to be very "upgradable"
