Multi Monitor setup

[semprini]

Hiya,

I have an LCD screen + a projector. My computer has a dual head - using VGA to the LCD & DVI to the projector.

I would like to be able to have sages menu's / epg etc on the LCD while watching video on the projector. Is there a way to set this up?

To further complicate the matter, as projector bulbs are sooo expensive I'm not going to watch on the projector all the time, rather switching to a single monitor nvidia profile. Will this break the dual monitor sage setup? My computer blue-screens if I change display settings while sage is running...

On a non-sage topic, does anyone know how to use the nvidia profile you get after exporting the profile as a file? It looks like you could just double click the icon but it doesn't work.

Thanx in advance...

This may not be what you are looking for... are they both running at the same resolution? If so & you aren't using Overlay, you could set the display properties to use clone mode. (I don't think the overlay will clone to both, but I'm not 100% sure about that.) But, this would give you menus & video on both screens... which may be a problem based on the desired usage you posted. On the other hand, it should allow you to turn off the projector & still see the video on the LCD.
