Has anybody gotten the dual monitor setup to work? I have an NVidia GeForce FX 5200 video card on an AMD 2400+. Just curious to see if it is working for anybody and how they got it to work. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this is an old issue.

I've done it a few times, mainly running Eve and other games on my 55" HDTV (hehe) and having a basic monitor hooked up. The framerates will drop considerably when running the two together in separate modes (i.e. game on TV, desktop/IRC/Forums on monitor) but it is not enough to make the games unbearable (I'd say like 10fps loss)

the Dual monitor thing dosn't work at all as far as I know...
a number of people have mentioned this problem, for example
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=7539
I've yet to hear of anyone getting it to work with the exception of the nvidia panaramic destop configuration, which isn't making eve work, it's just making windows treat both monitors as halves of the same windows desktop.
let me know if you have any luck with it tho.

Will definetly let yawl know. I read the boards on one monitor and run the game as well and it works fine but would love to have Eve span two monitors, but by the game itself, not the NVidia software. Thanks much though.

yeah I'm doing the same thing as you, just running eve in a window, and some other stuff on my second desktop. it's not a solution tho, and I would love for eve to work properly on dual monitors, why did they put the option there at as, since as far as I can tell there are no hardware configurations that it works on at all.

i once used 3 x 21" monitors on eve, it was good at first - but it stretches the graphics on the two outer screens, so the novelty soon wore off.
I took the fancy video card back to the store and now use just one screen.
The card was a matrox pharhelia (or sommet like that??)

it seems that ati and geforce cards, while capable of multiple desktops, are not capable of running in game multiscreen. for that you need to buy a rather more expensive video card.
