4 Monitor setup issue

[N1125Y 22]

Hello Guys.Okay. This is the situation. Got 3 22"HP Monitor Via Triplehead2go, (3360x1050) no problems works great. Now, I'm trying to use the second port on my GTX460 with 19" (1440x900), for my instruments, so I undock an instrument and drag it to the 4th Monitor only to find out that it's actually 'frozen" it is not responding, I 'm trying to re size it and it turn black one another mouse click and FSX is crashing .... goes capot :mad: any idea ???????

YairWhat operating system are you using? Also, which video driver version? I was able to do what you're describing without issues with my former C2D system (Vista 64 don't remember driver version...I think it was 185.xxx), and have not problem with the current SB system (Win7 64 and 266.77 Nvidia driver).Also, your TH2go resolution seems odd "3360x1050" - are you sure that's right? (I would have thought you'd have 1680x1050 monitors running at 5040x1050 with TH2go Digital.) :Thinking: Have you verified that for each graphics adapter in FSX > Display Properties, that the correct resolution is set?You're starting in FSX 'Windowed' mode, undocking the instrument panel, and dragging it to the fourth monitor, then going to FSX Full Screen mode (or at least trying to) - is that correct?

Working great here using the same setup. FSX Windowed and using the latest drivers.

OS is 7 Ultimate Nvidia Inspector tells me that my driver Version isGeForce 266.58( WHQL)-(r-266_45-4)FSX Full Screen resolution options are3360x1050 (Default)or3840x1024don't see anything like 5040x1050the Dell 19" is set up to 1440x900 Some of the add on that I'm using requiring window mode, so no full screen mode ...where do I go from here ??????????????

I'm using the same driver, but a different setup as I run at 5040x1050 http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=17827 Win 7 ultimate x64 fsx windowed mode sp2.

TH2GO Digital can't do 5040x1050 without a hack. Newer Nvidia driver conflict.

What hack? Got mine working 5040x1050 @ 59 MHz out of the box. Bjorn

Hmmm, you might try and temporarily remove the TH2go unit, attach one of your 22" monitors to that DVI port, and the 19" monitor to the other. See if that works. You'll have to change the monitor resolution in FSX to match...something you don't want to forget, or FSX can give you black screens.That 3360 horizontal resolution combined with a 1050 vertical resolution sure seems odd to me if you're using 22" monitors with a native resolution of 1680x1050. I'd think you'd want to maintain the 16:10 aspect ratio. (??)

Try this link at the Matrox website. I seem to remember the driver and PowerDeskSE being bundled. See if that's what you need.

[N1125Y 22]

.okay. things went from bad to worse. I got MatroxDesktop install and running, I had to restart my system and a message pups up The INF file for your GXM product is installed The selected mode couldn't be applied This GMX configuration couldn't be applied nice ha ! Then I lunch FSX only to find out that only on a full screen mode I can get FSX over all 3 monitors. I get to setup and I see that nothing has been changed means still 5040 is unavailable .... getting interesting here oh, yea and frustrating as well

[ohsirus 241]

Sounds familiar. I never got native 5040x1050 using the newest drives on a GTX 480. The Widescreen gaming link I posted is what worked for me and others.

Make sure you install and use the firmware Update tooly (Update is reversible). Bjorn
