horizontal span

[Carl Gurgan]

Hello,

Anyone know if a Radeon 9700 Pro will do horizontal span across two monitors
for playing X2 The Threat? I downloaded the latest Hydravision from the ATI
site, and have my desktop on horizontal span, but cannot get this game to
run. Any advice greatly appreciated. *Nvidia owners read with a smug grin*

I believe that what you want is called "Extended Desktop".

For ATI’s dual-controller graphics accelerators that support multiple
display devices, or for ATI video adapters that have dual display
functionality, the ATI graphics driver makes it easy to configure your
desktop for multiple displays. Using controls on the ATI Displays tab, you
simply select (at least) one display as Primary, with the remaining
display(s) operating in either Clone mode or as part of an Extended Desktop.
In Extended Desktop mode, you can easily toggle the primary display with the
display that shows the extended portion of the desktop, to match the
physical arrangement of your display devices.
