    Need help with Millenium II PCI

    I am putting together a dual monitor system for my friend with a Guillemot Xentor32 AGP primary video card and a Matrox Millenium II PCI secondary card and I can't get the multi-monitor support enabled on the Matrox...Arrrgghhh...

    Matrox's site tells me the latest drivers for the M2 includes support for multi-monitor display, but when I go under Display Settings, the button is unavailable after installing everything (btw, no IRQ conflicts).

    The system is a Abit BH6, PII-450, 128 PC100 running under Win98.

    Any suggestions???

    Thanks,
    Nick

      Cloudy - I am using Win98

      Paul - I don't think so.

      Update: I originally tried to have my BIOS set the AGP as the primary video but apparently the Guillemot Xentor32 (AGP card) doesn't want to support multi-monitors. When I set the Millenium II (PCI card) as primary video with the latest drivers from Matrox, dual monitors worked on boot up.

      The problem I have now is getting the games to play on the secondary video card/monitor setup (Xentor32) which kicks a** in 3D instead of the Millenium II/monitor setup which only does 2D.
