Hello,
I'm having a problem with my default monitor settings after adding a PCI card to my set-up,
I was running a AGP 900XGL card with no problems for a dual display set-up , I decided to add a 3rd monitor so I purchased a Nvidia NVS 50 PCI card, plugged it in and I can get all displays to work - HOWEVER my panel order has been shuffled and I can get the order I want. Does anyone know how I can override this ?
Here is a picture of the before and after DISPLAY PROPERTIES -

I have done that but it will not let me change the order of my original set-up, look at the picture why is the PCI card taking monitor #2 instead of #3 ??
Before installing the PCI card - the monitors were 1 and 2 after I install it the count changes to this -
AGP 900XGL monitors 1 , 3
PCI 50NVS monitor - 2 ???

Chris did you try setting your bios to PCI video instead of AGP?

I think that numbering is normal. Anyway, why does the numbering matter, as long as you have them arranged in Display Properties to match the physical arrangement?

Thanks for the replies -
n3twork -
I did change the BIOS so that the AGP is the first priority
ECarlson -
I guess I could change the order so that physically the monitors are set up
AGP 1,3 and PCI 2
SO the feed sequence would look like - AGP,PCI,AGP
Tt just seems odd that the PCI card would be called on to lets say a SPLIT screen between monitors 2 & 3
Should not the AGPs stay in sequence ? Can anyone else check thier Display properpites and see how the sequence looks AFTER adding a PCI card to a dual head AGP card . . . ?

So, you can't take your mouse and re-arrange monitors 1, 2, and 3 in your Display Properties? Makes no sense. Makes me think you simply don't know how to do this.

READ the question !
Of course I can rearrange the monitors, my question is why is the PCI card in charge of monitor #2 and not #3 ? And why can't I pick which source (PCI or AGP) feeds my monitors.

Let me rephrase this -
BEFORE adding the PCI card
AGP card handled monitors #1 & #2 as that is the normal set-up for a dual head card and 2 monitors
WHEN I added the PCI card all of a sudden monitor #2 was being handled by the PCI card and AGP was now in charge of #1 & #3.
Why is it I CAN'T INSTRUCT the PC to have the PCI card as option #3 on the Monitor Plug and Play list ????

I understand your point but I, like N4rumi and ECarlson, see it as a non-issue. You arrange them as needed in Display Properties, so non-issue.
