I have two Dell 2001fp LCD monitors running in dualview mode. Both of these monitors are connected to a GeForce 4 4800ti SE. One is connected through the SVGA connection and the other is through the DVI connection.

The setup is pretty sweet. I'm liking it a lot. However, I'm noticing a few issues.

- The monitor that's connected through the DVI connection flickers occasionally (when certain applications are executed)
- Whenever I play a video on Display 1 (SVGA) a full screen version shows up on Display 2.

Anyone have this type of setup and run into these problems? Anyone know how to correct it?

Thanks.

 

have you tried to upgrade the video card drivers?

 

the newest nvidia drivers allow you select which you want as the primary display. videos show up on the primary display in full screen mode.

if you are running a high resolution, try changing your DVI-freq to a lower settings. the current generation of DVI chips will support 1600 x 1280 but only at 60Hz maximum

 

Yeah, updating the drivers was the first thing I did. I believe both monitors are running at 60 MHz right now.

The main issue I was to get rid of is when I have a video playing in Windows Media Player (or any other application) I get a cloned version of it on my second monitor. That one shows up in full screen too. That's the biggest pain.
