ATi Multi Monitor Tools

[BDawg]

I recently purchased a 2nd monitor for home which I hooked up to the VGA port of my Radeon x800 AiW.

I have 2 monitors at work and use nView to do things such as extend the taskbar across both monitors, stretch a picture between the two, window slinging, and other things.

Does ATi offer a similar set of tools for multiple displays?

I didn't see anything in there when I looked yesterday. There were just basic features in the display manager.

Exactly what do you want to do?

CCC does everything i need for my dual LCD view setup ... i also used to have nView with my 8800-GTS640 - and before Cat 8.2, i liked nView a LOT better ... CCC is catching up

At a minimum, I'd love to stretch my taskbar across both monitors. I didn't even see that in CCC. Was the ability recently added?

i have done that ... but i don't usually do it that way for myself ...
i can't tell you off the top of my head as i have single display AtM.
... and i haven't even really set it up since i got Xfire except to test it

after i get back from work, i will set up my 2nd LCD and run thru it for you if no one replies by then

I believe the ATI equivalent is called ""Hydravision""

Check it out here

you want UltraMon: http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/

Once you have it, you'll wonder how you lived without it. (Or wonder why the fuck Microsoft didn't include the functionality in Vista).

Thanks! If hydravision doesn't do what I'm wanting, I'll try out ultramon.

I thought hydravision was just their moniker for having 2 video ports on a card.

Hydravision won't expand the taskbar across both monitors. I'll try Ultramon when my wife loosens my credit card privileges.

i think it has a demo, if not there are always other places to get it. As long as you pay for it eventually...
