What's the scoop on Hydravision?

[Peasant]

I just set up multi monitors on my X800XL and needed a way to set
independent resolution on each monitor. I found out ATI's Hydravision
allows you to do this. I'm a bit leery about installing it though
because I'm not sure if my card is even supported. When I went to
install it it only listed up to 9800 as supported cards. Is this just an
outdated readme or what? Also, does it conflict with ATI Tray Tools in
any way? Is Hydravision stable and bug free?

You do not need Hydravision to do that. Forget Hydravision, it is useless.

Ok, how do I do it then? I've looked in ATI Tools and ATI control panel
and I can't find an option to set independent resolutions for each
monitor. I'm using CP and not CCC, could that be why?

You do not even need CP or CCC either, just the raw video card drivers. In
Windows, right click desktop>Properties>Settings. Click on the square
Monitor 1 or 2 icon to select monitor hthen select resolution.

Haha...so easy...thank you very much. I feel like a dumbass for not
finding the obvious. When looking it up on the web on how to do this
Google came up with "use Hydravision".
