Anyone know if there's a way to run two monitors...

Kind of a weird problem but I've got a 19" LCD that I use for basic crap running @ native res of 1024x768 and I've got a 21" crt that I need for work that I need to run 1600x1200. Any way to do this? Being able to quickly switch back to single display when not doing work on the 21" would be a huge plus too but not a deal breaker. No idea where to put this so here it goes 😛

Huh? I don't understand your issue. Are you unable to run dual screens? Is this a desktop or laptop? I think I know what you're talking about, my laptop's native res is 1400X1050, the external monitor's is 1280X1024, when ever I go to external mode, the screen changes to 1280X0124, and soon as I go back to the laptop's display it reverts back to 1400X1050, is this what you want? Or are you disconnecting an external monitor and hooking up another one?

I run 20" and 17" in dualview mode, nvidia. 1600x1200 and 1280x1024.

I don't even think you can individually set the refresh for horizontal span. You'll have to use dualview.
It sucks since I run a 21" CRT and a 20" LCD and I like to use horizontal span, but my LCD limits me to 60Hz, which is quite unbearable on the CRT.

yea, you can run different res/refresh rates on each monitor if you are using dual desktops, and enable/disable monitors from the settings tab of the display properties... but why not juse use both at the same time, do your personal on one side and business on the other... just move the application to the designated monitor, and if you want yoiu can power off either monitor to get them out of your view.


edit: oh i didn't see the part about this being with horizontal span..
