Use the slider (Figure 6.32) to set the screen resolution at a value that is not
equal to the screen resolution on the Windows Settings control panel of your
primary display.
Note: If you set the same screen resolution value for both primary and
secondary displays, you cannot pan/scan the desktop area on the
secondary display; both displays will remain static.
3 Optional: If you want, you can select a Refresh rate from the list box
4 Click Apply and OK. Notice that the resolution of your secondary display
changes and you can use your mouse to pan and scan the desktop on this
secondary display.
Horizontal & Vertical Span Modes
Note: Span modes do not work if you have only one display device attached.
Note: 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.
In Span mode, the Windows desktop area is spread across both display devices.
This mode can be set for multiple categories of displays, although display
limitations may override the capabilities of your NVIDIA dual-display graphics
card. For example, if the second display is an NTSC TV monitor, depending on
the TV encoder on the graphics card, the resolution may not be set above 800 x
