Multi-monitor support was indeed "broken" by NT 4.0. Although NT V3.51
never officially supported it from Microsoft, the "hack" that we used
for TGA/TGA2 no longer works on NT 4.0 due to NT changes.
Matrox has been able to work out another "hack" and their stuff supports
multi-monitors, although I don't know the specifics.

| 1951.2 | Matrox Millenium, alternative to AlphaServer | BBPBV1::WALLACE | john wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093 | Tue May 06 1997 08:44 | 14 |
| Matrox have a specific driver for their Millenium card which works
multihead on NT V4. Freely available from Matrox for Intel. Talk to Al
Hopkins @ PKO about availability on Alpha.
Multihead is still generally safer on UNIX at the moment.
You can get more than 3 heads without going to an AlphaServer, in
Digital's own Digital Modular Computing Component boxes, which are made
and sold by the Embedded+Realtime bit of the SBU to the OEM market
(including companies in process automation etc). There's more info in
the Integrated Repository or at http://www.digital.com/info/oem

It's been rumored that Microsoft will officially support multiple monitors
with Memphis (Windows98?) and NT 5.0.

| 1951.5 | NT and multihead - are they a good match ? | BBPBV1::WALLACE | john wallace @ bbp. +44 860 675093 | Wed May 07 1997 07:44 | 12 |
| The rumour which preceded the "multihead in V5" rumour was "multihead
support will be in a Service Pack for V4". So far as I know, these are
just rumours, not commitments. And when V5 comes out, will graphics
drivers have to be re-written again (like they were for V4) as part of
the multihead support.
Some of my customers where multihead is *essential* are re-evaluating
their plans to use NT for display stations. It's just too risky for
them (especially on Alpha :-(

| The last I had heard (WinHEC in April), Microsoft was
promising multi-headed *2D* support in NT 5.0. Multi-headed
*3D* support (OpenGL, etc) was still not committed (but
under discussion).
