Re: Problems with Displaymate adapter

["neil624875" <neilball@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tim

I've to go back and try one last time - what I need to do is make the
DisplayMate the primary display adapter so that I can then set the
resolution to what I need. This will work providing the PC to which
the adapter is attacehd allows the DisplayMae to be the primary
adapter and retains this setting following a reboot. At the moment in
mirror mode & as secondary display adapter it is setting it's own
resolution which which ignores the resolution of the primary PC
display adapter. The manufacturer is not much help - it's a chinese
company who do not support end users direclty and don't even list the
product on their website.
