How do you output to 2 displays simlutaneously with the R2?

Hi,

I know that it is possible to output to 2 external displays simultaneously with the R2 model as Brian has stated that is was possible. However, when I try to connect two external monitors at the same time, only the m11x display works plus one of the monitors below works. The other external monitor is blank.

1) m11x HDMI to HDMI monitor (A 24" Display) -1920 x 1200
2) m11x Displayport (via a Displayport to VGA cable) to a 19" Monitor - 1280 x 1024

How do I get it to work such that 2 of my external displays show in the nVidia Control panel and work? I understand that if 2 external monitors are used and work, the m11x display will not work. That is fine by me.
Thanks for your help!

Regards.

 

Ok. I solved it. Hee. Just call me question trigger happy .



I was trying to use either the intel GPU control or the nVidia GPU control panel to manage this and strangely both these panels wont see the 3 screens. But, when I just right clicked and used the Windows display panel itself, it was able to see all three screen and allow me to enable the external two but blank out the built-in display of the m11x itself.

Hopefully, if anyone else faces this same question in the future, the info above may help.

 

Please, please please! peal off the protective plastic on your HP monitor. It's making me crazy knowing that somewhere in the world someone is living with that on something they use.

P.S. Glad you figured out your display issue.

 

Oh Wow!
Nice Setup!! Very Nice!

 

Yeah...I forgot to peel it off for a long long...time.....was gonna b4 I took this pic, but ..oops.

 

Really really impressive. Congrats !
Also, is there any way to play games in a display and check MSN, steam messages, etc on the other one ?
Sorry for my bad english !

Thanks.

 

Nice. I used to have the same mouse until it's tracking went out the window, I still miss it.

Could you not also do Displayport to HDMI/DVI rather than settling for analogue? (assuming 2nd monitor has digital input).

 

Yes. This is possible for games that allow you to tab/escape out of it's main screen.

Yes. I could have done Displayport to DVI, but at this time, I only have a Displayport to VGA cable. I love this mouse too. I use this mouse while at this work station, and I use the Razor Orochi when I am out and about.

 

Totally agree with you!!!! TAKE IT OFFFFFF...


I hate people who leave stickers on their systems. **COUGH (HP computers) and their hideous, necessary stickers1
