Why can I not run Flight SimX - X1950XT on 2 monitors?

Howdy,

I have looked al over the interweb for an answer and nothing, so I post here hoping you guys can help.

Here is the situation. I have an ATi X1950XT PCIe powering 2 2407 LCDs. 1 PCI 9200 powering a 15" LCD.

Flight sim chugs along nicely at 1024x768 on my primary monitor (X1950) just fine. I can find no way of getting it to display on the secondary (X1950). I have created a new window and dragged it into the secondary. But the 3D rendering does not work. If I drag it into the 9200 screen then it does..?

So... Why is my secondary screen not rendering 3D? I have the latest cats, SP1 for FSX and I am also running multimon (tried disabling that too). Is this an ATi thing?

Also on the opening screen where you see the rotating plane, drag this into the secondary and it stops rotating.

Seems a waste not to be able to span my 2 24" LCDs while flying

Thx.

Fixed.

It was the X1950XT and 9200 sharing the same driver. Revert the 9200 to the MS driver and all is well.

I can now have a virtual cockpit that spans all 3 monitors. The bonus is the ELO 15" is a touch screen. So I can toggle switches by pressing the screen.

Wooha!

Erm, glad to help lol .

I'm glad you've sorted it out. It sounds quite good. You should show us some pics of your set up.

Roger, will do.

I'll take one tonight when I boot it all up for a fly.
