Dell M50 / NVidia Quadro4 700 / Windows XP
I have a Dell Precision M50 notebook with the following specs:
Windows 2000 SP4 P4-M 2.4GHz w/ 1 GB RAM NVidia Quadro4 700 GoGL video, driver revision 6.13.10.4202 A01 I frequently use the notebook in docked mode, with an external flat panel LCD monitor. The NVidia chipset allows the external monitor and the notebook display to act as a dual display system, where I use the flat panel as my primary display, and span the desktop across the secondary notebook display. The options to activate the dual display under the NVidia control panel are listed as 'Standard (NView disabled), 'Clone', 'Horizontal Span', and 'Vertical Span', where I choose 'Horizontal Span' to display across both monitors. I recently did a clean install of the OS on a different hard drive, but with Windows XP instead of Windows 2000. I downloaded the NVidia driver for the machine off of Dell's site, and it has a revision of 6.13.10.4257 A02. The NVidia control panel only has options for 'Standard' or 'Clone', but NOT 'Vertical' and 'Horizontal', and thus, I can't seem to get the displays to span across both monitors in Windows XP like I could in Windows 2000. Has anyone been able to get their Precision M50 (or similar machine with same video chipset) running Windows XP to span the desktops horizontally? Might this be a limitation of Windows XP, or perhaps the newer driver revision? The NVidia drivers say that they work for both Windows 2000 and XP. tks - please reply to the group and via email. - brian |
