Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Problem with Dual Monitor on Windows 2000, Radeon 9250 - Can't set individual resolutions

System Details
--------------
Windows 2000 sp4 (5.0.2195)
Connect 3d Radeon 9250 128mb

Drivers
-------
DirectX: 4.09.00.0904
Catalyst: 05.4
2d Driver: 6.14.10.6525
Catalyst Control Center: 1.1.1907.42467

I can run dual monitor fine, but the only options available to me are:

Clone (Presentation)
Horizontal Stretch

There seems to be a hole for the third one on the wizard, but it's not available to me. I believe this is the one I need to be able to set individual resolutions/refresh rates. At the moment I'm runnin at horizontal stretch which is OK, but the second monitor is old and doesnt support the res I want to go to on the main one.

Any one have any ideas how I can get this option enabled?

Also windows seems to like to install a third monitor "Default Monitor" tho I only have 2 attached, I suspect this has something to do with my problem?

Would my life be easier on XP?

Thanks,
Nath

there should be an extended desktop mode option when you run the catalyst desktop setup wizard.

Nope... it's missing.

Just clone and horizontal.
