Quick question, can someone give advice?

Ok, so this is what I want to do.

Use my Voodoo3 AGP to output to the TV via the S-Video cable.
Use my Voodoo5 PCI to send a signal to the monitor.

Can this be done at the same time?

Thanks in advance.

in order to have 2 active video cards, you would have to choose "extend my desktop to this monitor". that means, that if your v5 was your main screen, the v3 would have to be your secondary monitor. therefore, you would not be able to see what's on the main screen on the secondary screen. also, i highly doubt you'd be able to activate the tv-out when it's not the primary display.

so in other words, i don't think you can do that.

This is Win2k btw.

<< This is Win2k btw. >>



yep, still holds true. win2k can support up to 10 monitors (as a side note)

btw...nice sig! hehe. but you need a "-rf" to force removal!

Yea, good point! added the -rf

I think I will try this out sometime tomorrow night, to see if I can get it to work, got to find that s-video convertor cable now :frown:

Well, if anyone else has an opinion, come and tell me it.
