DualHead Multi-Display setup
If your Matrox graphics card has a second monitor connector (see page 6), you can enable a second
display (for example, a computer monitor or a TV) as part of your Windows desktop. This is the
Matrox
DualHead Multi-Display feature. To use this feature:
Windows 98 –
1 Access the PowerDesk DualHead property sheet (see “Accessing PowerDesk property
sheets”, page 8).
2 Select the DualHead Multi-Display option button.
Notes:
„ In multi-display mode (see “DualHead Multi-Display setup”), each monitor has its own
monitor settings.
„ If you’re using BNC connectors with a Plug-and-Play monitor, the Plug-and-Play feature
of your monitor can’t be used. To use the Plug-and-Play feature of your monitor, instead
of the BNC connectors, use the 15-pin connector at the back of your monitor.
„ In Windows 95/98, Matrox monitor settings are based on Windows monitor settings. If
you change your Windows monitor settings, you may have to reselect or readjust your
Matrox monitor settings.
