Chapter 5 SURROUNDVIEW™ Installation and Setup User’s Guide 5-1 Getting Started SURROUNDVIEW™ provides the power and convenience of multi-adapter, multi-monitor support for computers that use internal ATI integrated graphics processors (IGP). Using SURROUNDVIEW, ATI’s RADEON™ 9100 IGP in combination with an external ATI AGP graphics card, can support up to three, independent monitors.
5-3 Installing the External ATI Graphics Card AGP Slot on Motherboard 1 Power-off the computer and monitor, and then disconnect the monitor cable from the back of your computer. 2 Remove the computer cover. If necessary, consult your computer’s manual for help in removing the cover. 3 After locating the AGP slot, and if necessary, removing the metal cover, align your ATI graphics card with the slot, and then press it in firmly until the card is fully seated.
If your monitors use DVI-I connectors, you will need DVI-I-to-VGA adapters to connect them. Adapters are available from the online ATI store at You are now ready to enable SURROUNDVIEW™. See page 47. 5-4 Enabling SURROUNDVIEW Enable SURROUNDVIEW using the system BIOS settings. To enable SURROUNDVIEW 1 Restart your system, and then enter CMOS setup (see the illustration on the following page). When restarting, most computers prompt you to press certain keys (usually F10, DEL, F2, or F8) to enter Setup.
7 Use the arrow keys to navigate to SURROUNDVIEW, press Enter, use the arrow keys to select Enable, and then press Enter. 8 When the Save to CMOS and Exit prompt appears, press Y.
5-5 Using SURROUNDVIEW™ 5-5-1 Setting up Your Displays To set up your displays 1 Right-click a clear area of your desktop, click Properties, and then click the Settings tab. 2 Click the Identify button to display a large number on each monitor, showing which monitor corresponds with each icon. 3 Right-click the icon for the display that you want to be primary, click Use this device as the primary monitor, and then click Apply. The primary monitor displays the log-on screen when you start your computer.
To enable displays Right-click a monitor icon, click Attached, and then click Apply. Repeat for each display that you wish to attach. The selected monitors are attached and available for use. Each display can use a different resolution, • For games, it is recommended that you use the same screen resolution on all 5-5-2 With Applications and Games Microsoft® Flight Simulator Using SURROUNDVIEW, you can display a different Flight Simulator view on each of your monitors.
3 Click the button to continue. 4 From the Views menu, create a new window, and then drag it to monitor 2. • When moving a 3D window, you may see some hesitation when crossing the boundary to a secondary display. After you move the 3D window to the secondary display, that scene will be displayed in 3D. You can return to full-screen mode on each display after you move the windows. • Multiple full-screen setups are not saved in the Flight Simulator or Flight Configuration (.cfg) files.
Business applications You can run multiple business applications simultaneously — for example, a spreadsheet, a web browser, and a stock tracker. 1 Right-click a clear area of your desktop, click Properties, click the Settings tab, and then click the Identify button to display a large number on each monitor, showing which monitor corresponds with each icon. 2 Open your spreadsheet. Your spreadsheet opens in the primary monitor. 3 Open your web browser, and then drag it to monitor 2.
4 Open your stock tracker, and then drag it to monitor 213 Frequently Asked Questions Q1: Does the Windows “Standby” function work when SURROUNDVIEW is enabled? Answer: Yes, Standby should work properly with SURROUNDVIEW. Q2: Do all ATI cards support SURROUNDVIEW? Can SURROUNDVIEW run on other vendors’ graphics cards? Answer: No, only ATI AGP graphics cards, including ALL-IN-WONDER AGP cards, support SURROUNDVIEW.
