5979.0. "Multiple Monitor support" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Kelvin Tan) Mon May 05 1997 10:12

I have a customer that is looking to run multiple monitors of either
an Intel-based box or an Alpha-based box(probably either AlphaStation 255
or the Personal WorkStation 433a) running WNT4.0.

I understand there are some issues wrt to multiple monitor support 
in WNT4.0. Are those resolved yet?  Is there anyway to work around that?

Appreciate any help.

    Never tried it, but the Matrox NT 4.0 x86 drivers claim multiple
    monitor support.  (All boards have to be Millennium, same resolution,
    only one with VGA BIOS enabled, plus a few other restricitons).  K

    Number Nine (number nine, number nine,...) has dual monitor support
    for their Imagine128 #2 on NT 4.0 for x86 now too.  Up to 1920x1200
    on one screen, or a total of 3840x1200(!)

5979.5Intel only ? or Alpha too ?BBPBV1::WALLACEjohn wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093Thu May 08 1997 16:071
    I don't suppose there's an NT/Alpha driver from these folks, is there ?

    Good question.  SAG used to advertise, and maybe they still do,
    an Alpha system that used the original Imagine 128 card.  Its
    custom silicon tho (unlike most of the rest of their line which
    is S3-based), so somebody had to put some work into it.  Then
    there's the possibility that SAG didn't really know what
    they were advertising/trying to sell.
