Wondering if anyone know if such a card exists.
I'm looking for an AGP card (for my Super Socket machine), that has two VGA outputs (one can be DVI + adapter) AND output in clone mode when in MS-DOS.
This will make the recording of my videos a little bit easier 😀
This might be interesting my Ati card (4850 hd) always starts in clone mode when turned on. On the other hand, I was very surprised when I had a nVidia GTS450 for a test and it only started on primary display. I bet AGP Ati cards do that as well.
What about using a VGA splitter? A decent one costs about 30€ on ebay.
I believe my old Matrox G400 cloned DOS well. Man I used to love that card.
I'd guess that if you extracted lot's of stuff from some linux videocard drivers and made some tool for dos based on it, you could probably do it for some cards.

Haven't thought about that, good idea!
Thanks for all the hints guys 😀
My old Geforce 6800 cloned from the moment the computer was turned on. It was PCI-e, though, but the AGP version may work as well.
What do I need to watch out for in regards to the AGP socket?
My MX440 does report it's an AGP8X card. I'm quite surprised as this is fairly new.
changing a light bulb by running a whole new circuit anyone? jeez...
Get a VGA distribution amplifier (talking dos, any cheap used one will do, ive got an 8x one without the box I got for free which works fine) or even if you dont mind losing a bit of the brightness/vibrance of the signal a simple vga splitter/doubler cable would work just fine.

or even roll your own

That's exactly the issue I have with my VGA to S-Video converter. It has a VGA splitter and this really degrades the signal.
Now the Geforce I use does have direct S-Video out, but in many games it generates odd glitches. The VGA to S-Video converter avoids this.
Mau1wurf1977 IMHO if you get one of those powered vga-splitters jaqie linked above you will be fine...
No worries, thanks!
