    Hi Guys ;)

    With a bit luck I'll get my hands on a second TV/Monitor for my m17 and I have two questions.

    As I was searching for infos on the topic SPAN (still found no solution for W7 :'( ) I read that ati/nvida cards can only handle two screens? ... I guess it was written because of the fact, that most cards have two possibilities to plug a monitor in, but the M17 has: Display, VGA, HDMI ... can I run all three as desktop extension?

    When I want to watch a movie I want to have a black screen on the M17 but without closing or disabeling (FN + F3) the display ... is this possible? (the opened windows should "stay there" ;)

    Thank you for your help and information :)

    Greetings, the fallen knight, who is watching over the city of NR, Julian :p
