is it possible to use HDMI, VGA, and the laptop display at once?

I have a laptop with an HDMI port and a VGA port. is it possible to use all three displays at once?

Doubt it, few laptops even allow for 2 external displays. For 3 displays total, you'd need to have an eyefinity capable card.

i already use dual screen on my laptop, so i was just wondering is triple screen is possible.

dual external monitors? any monitor can do dual screen with 1 external and the laptop screen itself. but just because u have multiple video outputs, it doesn't mean u can use all of them. i have vga, hdmi and s-video on mine but i can only have 1 external.

but as i said, only certain gpus will do 3 displays. so u need to tell us either ur gpu or ur laptop model.

yeah i'm aware of that. I guess it can't, it's a Geforce & onboard intel combo. the HDMI port doesn't work when i switch to discreet graphics mode. :\
