Span mode, any chance to be possible?!

Hi, I heard about some 3rdparty program that emulates horz/vert span in ati cards... Is that possible? I want that, I want to play games in my v6v and external monitor, and watch movies of corse.(i have a support for the notebook witch levels up de lcd screen to the hight of the external monitor like icurve from apple) I have one program called Ultramon, he does span mode but note span mode in games or movies.... Everybody who can help me please!!
thx

 

This is my workspace. i wonder if span mode works.. i watch movies and play games all the time. (this is not the monitor i will use and in this foto the monito r is not connected to the v6v)
ok i have some problems in here. Go to this link and u will see the picture: http://www.fotolog.com/foto4ndr3art/

 

Are you trying to get the movie to show across both monitors? I personally don't know of any way to do that, but why would you want to? I would think watching half a movie on one monitor and half on the other would be pretty annoying....

 

the software is in there! I do this all the time with my z70va. I put a movie on the right monitor (which is usually my TV) and then do work on my laptop. It works completly flawlessly (sometimes i can't believe the movie is also playing off my laptop) but then look at my machines specs, haha. It does heat up the videocard quite a bit more though... that second RAMDAC really heats things up.

 

Oh yes its possible. Games im shure it is. Take a look in this: http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/02/16/dual_display_gaming_bigs_up/

Read the article and take your conclusions.
When i said watch movies in the monitors simultaneos think about it, if u are viewing a movie in 16:9 or 16:10 imagine the size of the image? The only problem is the separation in the middle... but i think my eys will adapt.
When i put a video in the two monitors (span) in bsplayer or wm or divxplayer etc.. I noticed that the image only appears in half of the window. when i put the window too much to the other monitor the image only appears in that monitor, never in the two simultaneos.
In the article of tomshardware I read that ati doesn't support span mode.. and nvidia does... Like I said before, maybe some chance to this work? I think it is limited by hardware, if it is Im screwed.... lol But is strange because the program Ultramon, software span mode the image, belive me I can open this browser in the two monitors and scroll it up and down.

 

Well, ok, but I would think that 90% of the cameras focus would be right where that split would be.

As for the spanning of video, I'm not sure if it's doable or not based on your hardware, but I think it has something to do with 'overlay', so you may want to google that term and the model of the video card in your laptop.

 

Yeah i read some lines about the overlay but in the driver configurations i haven't seen anything about span mode or things about dual display in overlay tab. Thanks for the response

 

Oh yeah!!!! Span mode now active! I was dremming when i want to watch movies in the both monitors... but playing in both it wasn't... lol.
Well these are the links, who is interessed take a look.

Read and imagine... My problem was having my favourite drivers (omega) insted of the official. More exactily didn´t have "ati control centre".
It was hard to configured because of the tft/crt refresh rates but the final result is very good.
Ultramon is not necessary and unusefull, powerstrip help but "Ati control center" helps more

Thanks to all who respond.
