How to switch between Outputs?

windmiller · Jan 16, 2006, 08:32 PM

Ive got a Radeon 9700 with DVI and VGA on it. My Primary display is an LCD connected to the DVI but I also have connected a KVM swtich VGA to the VGA out on the card.

How do I switch to use the VGA so i can see the machine plugged into the VGA out? Is there a utility for this?

Thanks for any ideas!

Do you mean switch control of the KVM to the second machine ? or switch the display on the computer so that the screen connected (vga output of the 9700) to the KVM? I'm compfuseded!!?

To enable both display adaptors, go to display properties - advanced tabs - click on the greyed out monitor (possibly labelled '2') and check the box marked 'extend my desktop on to this display' and then click apply. See what happens.
