Hi Everybody.

I've seen a lot of places, and heard also, that you can span a movie/game across both monitors with the dual display function of the R8500. However, i am not able to do so. One side just appears black for me, while the other shows whats left of the movie. (havent really tried in games... dunno how).

I have the ATI Radeon 8500 128mb retail ver.

Now, my 2 monitors ARE set at different resolutions (since one is bigger than the other), but when i set the monitors to equal resolutions (1280x1024), it is still unable to show it on both screens. Now, the reviews of this card (like on HardOCP) show 2 identical monitors... i dont need this do i?? to make this work?

This really isnt a life or death issue... since otherwise everything is great... but it annoys me if this thing cant do something its supposed to be able to do?

any suggestions/answers would be great, thanks.
