This should work.. but I'm not sure where to configure it.

I have three screens, one dvi and two analog.

One card, the Geforce 6800 GT with analog and dvi out. Dvi splitter to dvi and analog.

Hook up a dvi and analog to the dvi.. and one analog to the analog.

When I turn on my computer, both analog show the boot up. Windows shows one analog (one in the card directly) and the dvi.

How do I enable the third screen (splitter)

the short answer is: nope, it won't work.

I figured as well...

So I just installed a VisionTek for my other two monitors..

My problem now, is when I run my screensaver using Ultramon (i should put this in the ultramon forum), it crashes if I ask it to go over all the screens.. but it runs fine on only one screen.

It's the ATI screens that fail.

yeah, you'll probably be better posting this in it's own thread in the ultramon section.

it sounds like you're trying to run the same screensaver 'stretched' across all the displays. i don't think that is supported...don't use screensavers much aside from the default one, which blanks the screen.

Flurry has multimonitor support to span over screens.

When I had two screens hooked up to my Geforce.. It looked amazing.

Now with this config.. Flurry crashed on the other two monitors.. and runs on the geforce.

Could it be a driver issue?

sounds like a probabe.

christian (the guy who wrote Ultramon) might have some more insight.
