dual monitor setup
I know, there's already a thread about dual monitor setups, but here's another one...
I have a Radeon 9800Pro with two connectors (one DVI and a normal one)... I have two monitors: a Siemens 17inch TFT (max 1280*1024) and an old no brand monitor (max 1024*768). I have got the TFT connected through the normal connector and the CRT monitor through the DVI with an adapter. When I boot, (bios, windows boot screen), the two monitors both work. But when the log-in screen comes on, only the TFT (primary) monitor works. And the CRT monitor just goes black like it has no signal. I have Hydravision and Ultramon, but it just doesn't work... Thanks in advance !

Weird... Have you tried different drivers? Don't think it would help, but who knows...
I guess you are about to write to ATI?  Buba

When you're at the welcome screen, only the primary monitor will be displaying an image. This is normal. Once you get into windows, the 2nd monitor will come back on.

Get UltraMon if you have dual-monitors. Can't live without it.
