Hello.
Maybe I'm stupid but
using 2 seperte Radeon9250 AGP cards
on 2 seperte systems i've been unable
to make the card use extended desktop mode.
i can enable all the appropiate stuff
in the display properties. and i've
messed with a few driver revisions
but no success.
no matter what i do the cards ALWAYS
displays a single output cloned.
(even while booting before entering windows)
when i enable extended desktop it appears
that there truly is an extended desktop
as i can move the cursor off the edge of the
monitor1 desktop.
yet monitor2 still displayed the cloned view
of monitor1.
any suggestions?
thank you

First, ensure you have the Catalyst driver 4.8 or higher installed. Then, goto Control Panel > Display > Settings > (select video card) > Advanced. You should have a 'displays' tab. Ensure the ugly triangle at the top-left of the boxes representing each monitor is teal. If one of the screens that's plugged in shows red, click on it to enable it. There should be two blue buttons on the bottom of each of these boxes. Ensure the two monitors you are using have different buttons depressed ("1" and "2", or circle and extend, respectively). Then you should be able to enable "Extend my desktop" under display > settings.

thanx but thats the procedure i've went through
i've even plugged a Radeon9800 on the same
system and within 5mins had extended desktop
working.
i just don't understand why the radeon9250
i have always clone the picture to both DVI/VGA
no matter what i do (even before Windows loads)

I have also a radeon 9250 pci and a 7500 agp, both are in the same computer, but i do not have the problem you are talking about. I plug 3 screen on the 2 cards plus 1 s-video to a tv and all 4 screen are working perfectly.
You can also try deleting the video card in safe mode and then restart and reinstall the driver.
