    I recently purchased an acer 2223 LCD and have it hooked up to my laptop via hdmi (adapter). I wanted to you it as the main screen and then have the laptop as secondary. The only option it gives me under dual view is using the laptop lcd as primary which is what i don't want. I have tried connecting through vga and the same problem occurs.

    I wanted to also connect another 17" lcd through vga and use the 2 external lcd's, one off hdmi the other off vga and i can't get them to work.

    Is this a limitation of the GF 7700 or am i missing something here?

    What OS are you on? I'm running vista and it's got a drop down on the video settings that let me set the primary monitor.

    However, this may just be a result of the Matrox software since I'm running a TripleHead2Go:

    I'm pretty sure both my ATI and NVIDIA notebooks have the option to switch the main monitor somewhere in the GPU options page. But it's difficult to find. Keep trying, or otherwise you might need a different GPU driver (stock?)
