    Dualheads on SAME monitor ??

    HELP !

    I want to do this:
    I have a Panasonic PF70 with
    two ports:
    a) standard vga - d-sub cable out
    b) BNC - out.

    1)
    I want to put the BNC cable directly to
    port 1 (main) on G400 (for best quality)

    2) Port 2 on G400 I will connect via
    loopback cable to the Holywood card
    (that came with my Creative 5x DVD kit)
    and from that card, using standard VGA
    cable, back to my monitors standard
    VGA port.

    I have done some testing, can't get this
    to work properly.

    Anyone who has this setup and can advise me
    how to do this properly?

    In theory, this will work. The Hollywood card, in order to NOT use the loopback cable, requires v1.6 or higer of the drivers. check that first. If you only use the db-15 connector and swap them, does it work OK?

      Do you mean I can use only one VGA - cable!?

      I.e. only use the port 1 of Matrox and
      remove the loopback cable, and remove the
      VGA-cable from Holywood card.
      Only using ONE video cable -- no video/loop
      back cables on Holywood card?

      How do I set up this in Matrox driver then?
      (I have ver.1.6 -- should I upgrade?)
