Configuring Dual Monitors
The Wildcat III 6210 and Wildcat III 6110 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.
4. When asked if you want to reboot, choose No. Follow the directions below for your
operating system:
· Windows 2000 -- go to the Start menu and choose Shutdown, then choose
Shutdown from the displayed menu.
· Windows XP -- go to the Start menu and select Turn off computer.
5. If you have not already done so, connect the second monitor, then turn on power to the
workstation. The primary monitor will display the startup sequence. If either monitor’s
Power On LED does not illuminate, or if the primary monitor does not display the startup
sequence, consult Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting.”
6. Start Windows and log on using an account with administrative privileges.
7. Right click on the Windows desktop (or left click if you’ve altered the default mouse
setup) and choose Properties from the menu.
8. On the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab. The monitors display as icons
labeled 1 (for primary) and 2 (for secondary).
9. Highlight monitor 2 and click “Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor.”
10. Drag the monitor icons to match the physical arrangement of your monitors.
