Cant get docked X32 on Windows7 to use 2 monitors...

#1 Post by sysbox27 » Wed Mar 24, 2010 6:29 am

Is anyone else uing this setup?

I am using the DVI connector. I know the external monitor works :).

I have configured Windows7 to extend desktop to the 2nd (external) monitor and applied this setting but still nothing.

Just wondering if could be something wrong with my dock so before I proceed any further, I thought I would ask if anyone else has done this or knows whether it is possible or not (I assumed it was as why else include DVI on back of dock) but who knows maybe linked to the problems in gettings graphics drivers working on windows7 for the x32 as the graphics card is out of date and microsoft don't support it officially on the new OS.

Any help much appreciated.

Best regards.


Update: I got the VGA connection working but picture quality poor so that is why I wanted to use DVI and compare.
Should the X32 be able to output to DVI? I mean the dock has a port for it but at same time the X32 itself doesn't so I can't test if faulty dock or not.
