RE: [OT] Windows XP & Multiple Monitors

Let us know how it goes - I was kind of skeptical when I saw this a
few months ago - but looks like it could work :-)

That would have been ideal, but the new D-series docks don't support PCI,
nor do they come with duel VGA/DVI ports (at least the dock for the
D410/420
doesn't. I'm going to give the Matrox gadget a go, it's looks like it
should work.

I used to drive a 17" CRT and a Dell 1905FP from a D600 docking
station; CRT connected to the analog out (@1024x768) and the FP to the
DVI port (@1280x1024)-, worked a treat :-)

A vendor I used to visit had the extended docking station (the one
that would accept PCI cards) - he had a 4-port graphics card installed
and ran 4-off monitors from his D600.

HTH,

Tim.
