Hi there.

I have a Gforce fx 5200 256mb, it has ports for vga, dvi and s-video. i'm currently using the vga and dvi ports in a dualview configuration. but i also want to use the tv as a third output for movies, but it wont let me use more than two devices at the same time...

Does anyone knows how to do it??

The modern cards that have multiple outputs can only produce, at most, two separate screen renders. Some of the cards restrict the port usage to two at a time, and some allow all three to be used. The ones that allow all three to be used send a clone of one of the main outputs to the s-video port. So, if you want three separate screen outputs, you need more than one card.

i don't mind if it is a clone image of one of the outputs because all i want is to be able to watch movies on the tv mainteining the two monitors running...

so if it is a way to do this i'd really like to know it...
