If you get the ATI stuff, it will pan both screens... Mike(bordumb) has it.

I can't help you look for anything on ebay though mang, I'm gonna go out and ride for a while.

hmm seems you have an ATI gfx card, you could get the splitter thing that was mentioned before and just use ATI's hydravision to split the screens, thats what I would do.

this is the card. ^ and output dongle is what the splitter would be called?

Yes, just make sure its kiind of like the one I put up there, with the two monitor plug-ins

They may not even have them available for that card, I don't really know... But, I can no longer be of assistance, as I'm going to go ride... I'll be back in an hour or so.

can anyone point me to which splitter I should be buying?

yeah the one you bought looks like the right thing :smile:

basically just makes one output port into two, they both recieve the same information therefore becoming mirror images of eachother, with the software I put earlier you will be able to use the monitors as seperate monitors and have different stuff on each one :happy:

sorry I didnt reply sooner, bin a lil busy :happy:

hope everything works out

yeah, aparently it has nothin to do with it, its a multi desktop thing that lets me click a button and a new desktop pops up without the same stuff running on it

yeah im gonna have to get a new video card, this cable wasnt expensive but I waited a month and a half for jack shit cuz the dooshbag took forever to send it on ebay... I think ill just buy a wicked new video card to replace... my card only has the one vga output on it
