    I just purchased a Sager 9261 with a nVIDIA® GeForce™ Go 7950 GTX 512MB GDDR3 SLI graphics card and XP Pro. I want to set it up to work on my two independent monitors: one monitor connected to the DVI port and the other to the CRT jack. The nVIDIA control panel only allows me to set up two independent screens between one monitor and the notebook itself, but in clone mode it allows me to do this or just use the two monitors. Anyone know how to get both monitors to work independently?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    unfortunately, most [to all] notebooks only support a single external display.

    If you want to use more than 1 external display, I recommend to look towards:
    - Matrox DualHead2Go

    you can simply use your laptop's screen as one display and an external monitor as the 2nd display using the dual view feature in nvida's control panel.

    That's what I do and it works great! Since I use a docking port I could add a third monitor... :)
