ati catalyst control panel hotkeys fuer multiple monitor usage?

[Sarah Shorton]

hello there,

i have some ati radeon 9250 based card, with dualhead output, one screen
connected to vga and the other one to the dvi.

i have installed the current ati catalyst drivers (with control panel)
on winxp sp2
<http://www2.ati.com/drivers/5-8_xp-2k_dd_cp_wdm_25203.exe>

my question is, if there are any hotkeys in the ati software or the ati
graphics driver with which i can switch various windows and apps easily
over to the second display and back again.

i used to do work on some matrox based dualhead setup, and there were
some hotkeys like shift+f11 or something that could switch the current
active window over to the other display, and so on.

are there functions like these in the ati drivers too? where can i
configure this?

thanks already for any hints.

The only hotkey functionality ATI provides is for screen rotation.

Do you have Hydravision installed?

Do you have Hydravision installed?

what is hydravision?

like i said, i have only the ati catalyst drivers (the one with the
control panel) installed.

would this other more sophisticated .net-based driver help with
hotkeys/functions to switch windows between the two displays?

or what about hydravision. never heard of it. im kinda new to ati-land.

thanks.

Hydravision is ATi's dualhead utility. It does functions like switching
desktops with hotkeys and defining where pop-up windows go. Hydravision does
not require .NET; you are perhaps confusing it with the fruity-looking
Catalyst Control Center.

The standard Catalyst driver package doesn't include it, because at 10 MB,
it would have increased the driver download size by 50%.
