Dual Screen Supprt

[exark]

Hello all. I just recently installed JaS 10.4.8 on a spare rig I had lying around because I wanted to test it to put to use on my main system. Everything is working fantastically and I really don't think I could ask for much more, but I will anyway.

 

On of the main draws of OS X on my main desktop is it's spectacular use of screen real estate. I use dual monitors and while Windows supports them, every OS X dual monitor system I've ever used does SUCH a better job. I have a Radeon 9600 Pro AGP 128MB Card (device id 4150) and while I've gotten two screens to work mirrored, I haven't found any info on how to, or even if I can, use spanned dual screens. I see that Natit works for dual screens, but it also looks like it's only for newer ATI cards.

 

If there is no way to get dual screens to work on my card, will Natit work on an X800? I've been searching for days but haven't found a full compatibility list for it.

 

Thanks in advance!

Stop bumping, it's irritating.

 

In System Profiler, go to the graphics page. Copy it and post it. Then beg for mercy.

I haven't bothered going to AGP because as far as I can tell, replacing IOPCI to a less version and gettting AGP recognized does nothing except read AGP in System Profiler. Is that very wrong?
