Hi Robert & J-S,

You are right. I confused TwinView with HorizontalSpan. Since I have XP this
option is available. But does not work either.

Thanks for feedback,
Wojtek

Hi Robert, Wojtek,

I recall a post for Jean-Sebastian Guay in the last couple of months
about Vista not supporting TwinView, perhaps I mis-read, but this is
what I recall.  Perhaps he'll be able to chip in.

I'm not sure what TwinView corresponds to, as it's more of a Linux/X term.

On Windows XP, we used to have the option to have multiple independent
displays (say 2 displays of 1280x1024 - I guess that's TwinView on Linux?)
or one combined display (2560x1024). The latter is called "horizontal
span" (you can also do vertical span, 1280x2048 for example).

Now, on Vista, that option no longer exists (apparently because of the new
driver model that Microsoft imposed on the video card manufacturers, but
that may just be the manufacturers making excuses). The horizontal span
and vertical span modes don't exist in Vista, only the "multiple
independent monitors".

Note that my experience is only on one video card, two monitors. I don't
quite know how that scales to X video cards and Y monitors, and how it
would work if the cards are of different types. Sorry.

J-S
