I need a way to do dual display with 1 video port, is there any stuff
that i can add to the pc in question like a dual exit video card and
having a program installed to do dual screen. I know it may sound weird
but it has to work without adding a second video card. dont have all
the details yet but it seems to be and onboard videocard. i just want a
possibility or a way i could do it, even it it sumthing cost like 5
grand i dont care.

cheapest way that I would do it is with a single video card with two
outputs. Unless you got something really fancy, about $50.

What is the computer? Laptop? Desktop? What kind of video card is
presently installed? There are some AGP dual-head cards you can get for
around CDN$50. For laptops, most have an external video connector and
you can run both the laptop screen and the external display at the same
time.

We can't open the case it<s desktop wiht onboard video card, im not
sure but i think it's an asus motherboard, i need a genuis idea. Iknow
how dual screen work i setup few and i personnaly use 4 screens at home
for gaming purpose. I try to remeber sumthing about making dual screen
with onboard video card and i cant get to sumthing, in my mind it's
impossible due to the screen exit is single channel and even if i put a
splitter there all the screen pluged there would show the same damn
thing, i was wondering if there was a way to put a kind of spliter and
with an application and special monitor or sumthing see which signal is
for wich screen. I have to make sumthing work like this i got asked, i
cant open the case due to bank stuff, the power came from under the
case from floor the case is sealed within the floor we can onyl acces
the back and it only have the basic output except for the power supply
that is inside.

There are video splitters but they'll show the same image on both.

There's also a little gadget that you plug into the video out and plug
up to 3 monitors into it. It pretends to be a monitor whose size is
the sum of the sizes of the monitors plugged into it. Note that this
requires your video card to support some pretty high resolution modes
that aren't supported on a lot of cards.

Ah. You're in a bank, an institution with significant security concerns
and IT regulations. Tread carefully.

What you need is IT and management approval to access the system, open the
case and install a dual-head card. Or, to install a new system for the
person who needs the extra monitors. Or, to install untested and
unapproved - as deemed by the IT group - system software.

In all cases, you need approvals from management and the IT group.

If the system is this heavily protected it's quite possible the accounts
are, too, and that you will be unable to install necessary drivers.

Consider that if you are prohibited by Bank policy from accessing the
hardware, installing extra video adaper hardware and software may also
contravene Bank IT policy - adding untested, unapproved system-level
software.

Video drivers are very often the root of system crashes, so any stability
problems will most likely be laid at your door.

The term CLM comes to mind, so check this out thorougly and get approvals
before you add anything. Banks tend to prefer stability, and IT groups
tend to be highly territorial.

Onboard video adapters tend to not be feature-rich. Yes, you can add
video multipliers but you will wind up with the same image on all screens.
To get multiple views, you must have extra graphics adapters however you add
them.

Look for USB video adapters if the system has USB 2.0 ports. If the
systems have only USB 1.1, this may not work well. Firewire adapters may
also be avauilable, but FireWire ports might be unusual on a Bank system.
But pay very close attention to the stability and compatibility of the
drivers.

thanks for the usb suggestion ill look into it, otherwise ill have to
deal with the IT and the bank. If they want it they have to let me
touch it if not they will have to exploit sumone else even there they
wont have result : )

You probably don't want to get into the situation where you offend the IT
group and management, who can place a lot of value on rules - in their
case, for good reasons.

they ended up being ok. I think they were short with us becaue someone
had them behind closed doors for nigh on n2 hours I guess that is more
than any could tolerate.
