Multiple Monitors
John Lam is writing about his move
to multiple monitors. He's using UltraMon,
which is staple on my desktop machine. I've never played much with
Hydravision, even though the main card in my machine is an ATI AIW
8500DV. I got mine before ATI really started shaping up their drivers
-- even now, I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade my ATI drivers, for fear
that something will stop working. But the multiple desktops might
get me to try again.
My setup is an AGP ATI AIW 8500DV and a PCI eVGA GeForce 2MX. I tried a bunch of cards before I settled on this combination, which is mostly stable, although I have had some WinXP failures related to the ATI drivers. The ATI is connected to a 21" Cornerstone p1650 @ 1800x1440 (I tried 1920x1440 -- too small, even for me) and the GeForce is connected to a 21" Hitachi 801 @ 1600x1200. This setup is invaluable when working on a web application because I can keep Eclipse on the main display, and put a browser and vnc/ssh on the secondary display.
