    Parhelia Multi-monitor question

    I have a couple questions about setting up the Parhelia for multi-monitor support here they are:
    • How do you go about setting up the addional monitors, short of reinstalling drivers, where it give you that option for what type of monitors your using?
    • With the Powerdesk-HF drivers, do you have to reboot the system after you change the refresh rate or Resolution? I know I have to do this with my G450 in Windows 2K at work and its a PIA
    • Any suggestions for games that support surround gaming?
    Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

        In this reguard I have a G450 PCI in my work machine using good old Powerdesk. I think my problem might be related to the fact I can't find a way to totally disable my onboard video. I wanted to know if this happened with the Parhelia since I dont have my Triplehead/Surround gaming set up as of yet.

          You can go from 3 Monitor Stretch mode, to 2 monitor stretch mode, to 2 monitor clone, to single monitor without rebooting, but if you go from any of the above to 2 monitor independent resolution, the you have to reboot.

          At least that's the case in Windows XP.
