no... why the "default" resolution (I have 3 monitor 22"-24"-22") but I see one big monitor on the propretis of the desktop.. with a big resolution.. ) that I can see is 5040x1050...
One question: the GXM must to be activated or not? (my is activated) during that operation?

Much obliged to you both for the question posed and the solution, respectively. I've just installed my TH2GO this afternoon over a lunch break and hadn't even begun to try and figure this one out yet. Thanks!


Paddy, thanks again for posting this. I've got it working now that I have room to plug in my two extra 20"-ers.

Is on able to play a game on the center screen and still use one or both side monitors? In my case, trying to run Call of Duty 4 on the center and run a web browser, voice chat, etc. on the side.

Hi Stecchino ...
Unfortunately that isn't possible ... as you have no doubt found they go black when you are in-game ... :(

Ok, just checking. I understand why, I suppose, since the TH2GO is basically telling the computer all 3 screens are in fact ONE screen. I suppose the work around would be, for folks, wanting to game on on screen and use the others as well:

Plug in a 4th monitor into the 2nd DVI port of their video card (less desirable)

-OR-

Figure out how to launch the game in a window (haven't yet tried this with Call of Duty 4). If it's launched in a window, naturally, it can simply be dragged to the middle and not disturb the other 3,528,000 pixels. (more practical)
