Dual Monitor support in WinXP Emb

The same way you would do this on XP Professional.

I'm using:
API call ChangeDisplaySettingsEx.

In the configuration I have 2 display controllers. C&T(PCI) and Intel815(onboard). After the final reboot the system is using only the onboard controller with resolution 640x480. I wont to use C&T as primary and Intel as secondary. Both with resolution 800x600. I dont have inf conponent for the monitor and I am using Default Monitor.
How can I preset these settings in the configuration.

Using only Target Designer there is no way (at least that I aware of) that
you can do this.

You must write simple application that will do this.
You can use ChangeDisplaySettingsEx to set resolution and position of
monitors, etc.

Related question ...

ChangeDisplaySettingsEx does not provide a means of "attaching" the second
monitor ... so far, the only approach I've been able to identify for that is
to go to Display Properties and manually attach the second monitor post-FBA.

Is there a way via an API call or other means, to attach monitors 2 - n
without going to Display Properties? I'd like to set it up so it happens
during FBA ... maybe an app that runs as an FBA Generic Command.

We're running an nVidia Quadro4 NVS 400. Eventually, we'll be driving 8
displays from each box.
