Forums -> UltraMon™ -> Monitors moving to different outputs of vid card on restart

Hello all,

I have a unique setup and hope someone can lead me in the right direction. I have a exercise training center that uses a computer to display training programs on either one or two big screen TVs (depending on which training prog is being used.) There are two TVs connected through HDMI to the computer. And also DVI to a computer monitor.
I have two ATI HD3600 series cards in the computer, so a total of 4 monitor outs.
I setup the system so that the DVI connector to the computer monitor was Monitor 3, and Monitor 1 and Monitor 2 would be the HD TVs. Then I used the Mirroring feature to show the output of Monitor 1 on Monitor 3, or Monitor 2 on Monitor 3, or sometimes no mirroring.

My trouble:
On restart, the graphics cards seem to autosense the connections to the TVs and will assign Monitor 1, Monitor 2, and Monitor 3 randomly. So I can't be sure which output on the vid cards will actually be which monitor.
Is there a way to hard code this or remove the autosensing?

Sorry for the long explaination!
Thanks!

Not via UltraMon, and I don't know if the display driver supports this. Are the TVs and the monitor turned on when you start the system?

The cards are connected to a HDMI Matrix switch so there is always something the 'see'
