Multi-monitor is supported on most Intel® 82865G graphics controller-based systems using PCI video cards to support multiple monitors. With the latest Intel® Extreme Graphics drivers for the Intel 82865G graphics controller, the integrated video can be either the main or the secondary display adapter. Multi-display is not possible with the onboard display and an AGP add-in card (the AGP card disables the onboard graphics).
System requirements for multi-monitor:
- Integrated Intel 82865G graphics controller
- PCI video card or cards that support multi-monitor
- Two or more monitors
- Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP*
- An Intel 82865G graphics controller-based motherboard that supports multi-monitor
- The latest Intel Extreme Graphics Drivers for the Intel 82865G graphics controller
To use multi-monitor with the Intel 82865G graphics controller:
- Install the latest Intel Extreme Graphics drivers for the Intel 82865G graphics controller, or if an AGP graphics card is installed, make sure the latest drivers for that card are installed.
- Power OFF the computer and install the PCI video card.
| Note |
Opening the system case can void the warranty on some systems. Check with the system manufacturer before opening the system case. | |
- Attach the second monitor to the PCI video card.
- Power ON the computer and install the drivers for the PCI video card. Check with the video card manufacturer for instructions on installing the drivers for the PCI video card.
- Restart the computer.
- Click Start » Settings » Control Panel » Display » Settings tab. Click the picture of the monitor, and then click Yes to enable the second monitor.
- Click Apply button. The secondary monitor should now be enabled.
| Note |
To reverse the primary and secondary display adapters, enter the BIOS setup and look for a setting called Primary Video Adapter or similar setting. Set this to PCI, if the PCI video should be the main display adapter. Set to Integrated or Onboard, if the integrated video should be the main display. | |
