Hi!
system info:
motherboard: QDI KuDoz 7E / 333X-6A
processor: AMD Athlon 2500+
memory: 512mb DDR Ram
sound: onboard sound (RealTek '97)
primary grahpics card: Nvidia Gforce MX 440 8xAGP
opperating system: Windows XP Pro
I am trying to create a multiple monitor system using my Nvidia Gforce MX 440 8xAGP (agp, obviously) and my old VooDoo 3 pci card. Both cards are instered properly in their respectable slots & both cards are opperational. Same goes for the monitors.
when I bootup my computer the monitor connected to the Voodoo card dispays the memory test, IDE detection and so on. All works properly untill it is supposed to display the bootscreen of Windows XP Pro. Then both monitors turn blank and stay that way. It seems that they do not receive any input. When trying to boot in the Safe Mode of Windows XP Pro the monitor connected to the VooDoo card displays a blinking DOS 'cursor' indefinitatly.
According to Microsoft's Knowledgebase VooDoo (3) is no longer supported and all was taken over by Nvidia. Knowledgebase reference number #309913. I've searched the Nvidia site but I could not find a suitable driver that would allow me to run both my Nvidia Gforce and my VooDoo 3 at the same time thus giving me a multiple monitor system.
I would very much appreciate if anyone could tell me if what I want is at all possible and if so how I may achieve my desired configuration.
thank you very much for your time and I hope you can help me.
