Hi everyone,

I want to connect 2 monitors to my Radeon 9700 through the the VGA and DVI outputs.
The thing is, I don't want to use it as an extended desktop, but rather a second screen
with exactly the same output. So 2 monitors displaying exactly the same picture.

Is this possible? If yes, what settings would I need to change in order to achieve this?

I recently just bought a VGA splitter in order to achieve this, but both outputs become
dull and washed out, most likely due to power output of the signal being split in two.
I'm sure a powered splitter would work, but they're unnecessarily expensive, so I don't
want to go that route.

Any advise would be much appreciated.

Thanks. 😀

Update: Nevermind, figured it out on my own. 😀
