Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Dual monitor support with Win2000 sp4 and ATI FireGL T2-128

Hello everyone,

I just installed an ATI FireGL T2-128 dual-port AGP card (one VGA plug and one DVI plug) in a Dell Precision 530 workstation running Win2000 sp4. I cannot get true dual monitor support, just the BIG desktop with the taskbar extending all the way across both screens, with all windows maximizing to cover both monitors. Does anyone know how/if I can fix this and get true dual monitor support with my current configuration?

I heard that "workarounds" are needed to configure the driver, etc. Does anyone know if this is true, and, if so, exactly what these workarounds entail?

Thank you,
Barnaby

The workarounds need to be implemented by the driver developer, in this case ATI.

Make sure you have the latest drivers for the card, ATI supports standard multi-monitor mode on Windows 2000 starting with the Radeon 9000.
