    Hi all. Finally got my Sager NP9262 (Long story. Held up on family visiting from the US since I'm in NZ. Nothing to do with Sager).

    So I've got her all hooked up, but I can't get video output on the laptop screen and from the VGA and DVI ports. I can do one of the ports, but not both. Really hoping to get the three screens running. I've tried Google and searching these forums, but surprisingly haven't found anything one way or another.

    Cheers,
    Peter Hamilton

    You guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you can only run 2 screens at a time...?

    Would be cool if you could run two externals and the inbuilt panel at the same time though :rolleyes:

    That's what I thought also,since for multiple screens you need that Matrox splitter thing.

    Hi Peter, welcome to the forums. :) Unfortunately you can only use one external monitor with the stock 9262. If you want to add 2 or 3 External Displays you would need either a Matrox Dual or Triple Head2Go.

    There I go...:cry:

    [EDIT] Apparently the Matrox DualView2Go can treat them as two monitors, as opposed to one big one.

    Bummed, as I'd really hoped these two ports would go out of the box (Was one of the reasons for buying the Sager. A small one, but oh well). I wonder what Justin means by "stock 9262".
