Configuring Dual Monitors
The Wildcat4 feature support for dual monitors under Windows 2000 or Windows XP (but not under
Windows NT). The dual monitor feature allows two monitors — either two digital, two analog (with an
adapter), or a combination of digital and analog — to be connected to the card so the display area
stretches across both monitors.
Enabling the Dual Monitor Feature
1. Right click on the Windows desktop (or left click if you’ve altered the default mouse
setup) and choose Properties from the menu. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced.
2. Click the Wildcat Configuration Tab, then next to Maximum Number of Displays, select 2.
3. Click
Apply.
