2 LCDs on 2 DVI Video Cards; Video In possible on Secondary?

kolokotronis · Feb 9, 2007, 07:50 PM

I have a pair of LCD monitors connected to my computer through the DVI ports on separate video card -- the primary is on AGP and the secondary is on PCI. Been running just fine under "normal" applications for about a year. My primary card has VIVO, so I am now trying to configure the Video In player to run on the secondary monitor while I do my work on the primary. Is this possible?

I have been able to launch the player and move it to the secondary monitor, but it invariably locks up my computer within a minute or two and I have to do a hard reboot. If I leave the player on the primary monitor, there do not seem to be any issues.

System specs:
ATI X850XTPE (AGP)
VisionTek 7000 (PCI)
Catalyst 5.12 with Control Panel
MMC 9.08
Windows XP SP2
Asus A8V Deluxe w/Opteron 170; on-board RAID enabled
