Chapter 1 About the Detonator XP Unified Driver
Notes & Conventions
NVIDIA Single-Display vs. Dual-Display cards
To access TwinView and TwinView-based features using the NVIDIA
Detonator XP driver, you need
• a dual-display graphics card based on an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX family,
GeForce2 Go, or Quadro2 MXR GPU (see “NVIDIA Products (GPUs)” on
page 5) and
• two display devices connected to the card.
Other non-TwinView features are supported by either single-display or dual-
display cards; i.e., you can connect only one display device, such as a CRT
(analog monitor) and access these features, provided the card supports these
features.
NVIDIA Control Panels: Windows XP/2000/NT 4.0
The Windows 2000 NVIDIA control panel screens shown in this document also
apply to Windows NT 4.0 and Windows XP; exceptions are noted, where
applicable.
NVIDIA Control Panel Examples (GeForce2 MX & GeForce3)
For example purposes, the NVIDIA screen images generally show the NVIDIA
GeForce2 MX (for dual-display TwinView functionality) and the GeForce3
GPU-based cards; you may be using a different NVIDIA GPU-based card, such
as a GeForce2 Go (on a laptop), a Quadro2 MXR, or similar product. You may
also be using a single-display NVIDIA GPU-based card for non-TwinView
features and functionality.
