Tri-Mode Display (TV, VGA, Panel -- Laptop)

alienvenom · Oct 6, 2004, 04:50 AM

I have a laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200.

I was wondering if it was possible (with either a driver or firmware hack) to enable all three display types at once: TV, VGA and Panel (the screen of the laptop itself).

With the current drivers, I am only able to extend my desktop to a 2nd screen; either the VGA or TV but not both. I want to extend it both the VGA and TV -- if possible.

I searched around, and was unable to find anything. Perhaps someone here has some new and useful information.

Bump?

Nope, sorry.

The chip would have to have three output stages, the only cards that can do that at present are desktop video cards from Matrox.
