Hello,
I'm trying to experiment on something. Hope you can shed some light on this:
Current Set-Up:
-----------------
1. Motherboard (Asus P5PE-VM) - Audio and Video attached to it already.
2. 1 PCI Video Card - includes VGA, DVI, and S-Video slots
3. Extra Card dedicated for an LED Display Hardware - has a DVI slot
4. DVI of #2 is connected to DVI of #3; I use a custom software to run the LED Display.
Problem:
-------------
Once the LED Display software is running, I have to dedicate my pc to running it ONLY. If not, people see what I am working on on the LED Display.
Possible Solution:
--------------------
Do a multi-monitor set-up to dedicate the LED software running in another desktop.
Difficulties being encountered:
---------------------------------
Card in #2 seems like the one that is enabled/working on my pc, cause I tried to attach the monitor to the VGA slot in #1 (VGA in motherboard), No signal.
I have also tried to re-install the driver of the motherboard. System shows that I have 2 Display Adaptors.
Whenever I try to enable the secondary monitor in the Display Properties, the monitor that I am looking at becomes the extension monitor. So, I always revert back and do system restore to undo my attempt.
Would it be possible to run multi-monitor using the motherboard video card and the extra video card? If so, how do I enable the motherboard video card, so that I can attach the 2nd monitor using that VGA slot?
Thanks so much for your help. :)
