One of the previous posts mentioned that Windows XP will only allow two
monitor profiles if the machine has two separate display adapters (not
a
single adapter which is dual-headed).
Whoever it was that posted that, are you sure?
The last time I tried this, there's only one device for such display
cards, and there is only one profile that can be associated with a
device at one time in Windows XP. One of two things would have to
change in Windows to support dual-headed cards: a.) show the card as
two separate devices, and then you could associate a profile with each;
b.) redo the user interface to allow multiple profile association for
the same device, but for different output paths (dual headed output).
If you're able to do one of these two things, then you can use two
profiles with a dual-headed card. If you can, I'd like to know because
this would be the first I've heard it can be done and I wasn't under
the impression such support was going to be in XP. I'd like to be
wrong.
