Whistler and multi-monitor support
This was raised briefly in the Hardware forum, but I thought I'd pop in here and ask properly. Are any you people who are running Whistler using either a DualHead or TwinView card? I ask because the multi monitor stuff in Win2k is basically broken compared to how it works in 9x.

I was just wondering if Whistler does it correctly by allowing you specify different refresh rates and resolution for each monitor.
Here's hoping it's good news.

Well I was kind of disapointed yesterday by this very topic. I'm running Whistler and Win2k pro dual boot. I threw in a second video card and had perfect multi-monitor support in win2k, but couldn't get it to work at all in Whistler. Changed my bios to look for the pci card first and everything, even tried 3 different video cards with no luck. Anyone else have any input on the topic.

I have two cards in my machine and it worked great in whistler 2250 when I had it. I works great in 2000 and I don't have it set up in ME because i use win me only to play games. Oh yeah and I am able to use two separate refresh rates and resolutions. I had a G400 DH for a while and it was having the same problem that you guys are talking about. I have heard that it is a problem with the os and not the video card drivers. But I am not sure if that is true or not.
