Dual Monitor Problems with Latest Omegas

Alv · Sep 9, 2003, 09:58 AM

Hey
I just realised, when I enable my 2nd monitor, my openGL and direct3d tabs in the control panel changes to these screens:

When I disable the 2nd monitor, the tabs are back to normal (with truform etc.), any idea what's causing these problems?
I installed the omega drivers from scratch - removed all ATI files from the hdd as well as registry entries...
If I try installing ATI's control panel over, it appears to work fine, but each tab appears twice - 2 OpenGL tabs, 2 Direct3D, 2 Options etc.
Please guide me through this problem =)
Thanks

Ah... good, at least I'm not alone and I guess the steps I took to install the drivers did not go wrong

I know about the problem and I have been trying to fix it since previous release... no luck

It seems ATI changed the driver monitor codes and I ALWAYS get the old options in the CP, PLUS 4 monitors when running 2.

I'lll keep investigating...

This doesn't affect the drivers performance right? =) And if I wanna change settings I can just switch back to one monitor b4 making a change?

or use rTool that is included in the omega package
