Ok I have a X800XL video card and I have A Hanns G JW199D Monitor and then a compaq FS7600 Monitor hooked up to the x800xl. I have been using dual monitors for about 2 months now. I found a little adapter thing in the box of the video card that makes it so you can plug a composite cable into the video card. I plugged it into the video card and the other end of the cable to my tv which is a 20" Round Tube TV. When I activate the monitor from the "Advanced Display Properties" It shares the same screen as one of my monitors. Is there anyway to get Tri-Monitors all with individual displays. Basically I want to use the Compaq monitor for iTunes, the TV for Windows Media Player and/or VLC, and the Hanns G for everything else that I do.

It is a "dual head" card, meaning it has only 2 seperate display engines. It will support only 2 independant displays concurrently. You'll have to use a supported IGP motherboard (recent MB using ATI or Nvidia chipsets can support IGP + discrete graphics), or another graphics card to support 3 independant displays concurrently.
