    Dual Monitor??
    « on: January 30, 2008, 06:12:46 AM »
    I have a Radeon x1300 and my father had gotin a cable to allow me to setup a second monitor,  Where does the end of the cable go???  I pluged one end to the video card but does the other go to the VGA?  The Blue Connector on the monitor I have both types of monitors.  Is this connector only on newer monitors?  I also have a flip device not sure if that will help.

      Your graphics card should have 2 outputs on it if it can handle a dual monitor set up.

      The cable from both monitors should be connected to the graphics card. If this is not possible you can't run dual monitors with this card.

        Okay, Was unsure of how to do it.  Need another video card with the same connector then.
