I am trying to setup a multi-monitor configuration using an ATI Radeon 9800Pro All-in-Wonder AGP card and a S3 Trio 32/64 PCI card.
btw im using Windows XP pro.
When i put the PCI card in and switch on the Pc, the defalt card is the radeon AGP (always has been, that's how I want it to be) when I look in device manager it says for the S3 pci card "Code 10. this device cannot start". I have tried updating drivers for both cards but I still don't get anywhere.
One thing I have found out is that if l so into BIOS and change "Init Display First'' from AGP to PCI, and then boot into windows i can go into display properties and both monitors work fine, kind of. The only problem here is, the tv tuner and none of the s-vid or component inputs work, they are not even detected in device manager. One of the main points of me getting multiple monitors is so that I can watch TV on one of them and be doing my work on the other
I have bought a radeon 9250 pci card on ebay and should be getting it next week, this is to replace the Trio because the Trio has hardly got any memory so I hope that I will be able to get the Trio working, because I don't want to have to wait for the new radeon pci to get here
If its any use, the monitors I am trying to use are:
Gateway2000 EV700 17" CRT
EIZO FlexScan F764-M 21" CRT
And if my new card supports dual monitors on the same card, I will also add:
LG Logix LGX 151 15" CRT
If anyone can help me with this setup I would be greatful.
