I've got a tri moni setup:

nvidia ti 4200 dualhead
pci voodoo banshee


In the display settings the display-numbers are like this:

1)nvidea 1
2)voodoo
3)nvidea 2

And I need it like this for reasons to long to explain :)

1) nvidea 1
2) nvidea 2
3) voodoo

Does anyone know how to do this on win2000?

You can rearrange your screens in Display Properties by dragging them around so they can be in any order, like 1, 3, 2. Would that help?

not really, here is the problem:

I want a 1 key-press solution to switch enable/disable TV-out.

TVtool supports nview, but assumes monitior 1 and 2 are the ones 'connected' to nview, and in my case its 1 and 3.

I think it has something to do that the virtual 3th videocard (for the dualview option) is initialized after the real cards.

I tried unistalling the PCI card and after a reboot the nvidea outputs are 1 and 2 and it finds new hardware and the PCI card becomes number 3. but after a reboot it's back to the old situation agian.

I also tried making nview-profiles with different monitor settings and assinging them to a hotkey, but that also srews up.

Also in the registry I tried arranging the monitors in the hkey_localmachine>hardware>devicemap>video settings, but after a reboot they are back again..

Maybe I should email the person who makes TVtool :)
