NVIDIA GeForce Go 6400 - multi-display

surturmin — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 10:31:32 GMT

I've got a S5XP with a Go 6400 GPU and am trying to rig it up to 2 externals (without much joy)

I am using a Sony docking station and have 1 LCD conected to the D-sub, the other to the DVI-I - the only choices I get are dualview, but even then, one of the displays has to be the laptop - would settle for the 2 externals and no laptop display, but this does't seem to be an option.

Ideas??

Hi surturmin,

welcome to Club Vaio..

Your Vaio is unable to support dual monitors without using an external device something like Matrox DualHead2Go, see more here..

Here is a review that you may find of interest..

Thalamus,

Thanks - I can already do dual monitor as I have the Sony docker for the laptop. The laptop as the primary and an LCD connected to the D-sub as secondary.

WHat I have now done is connect another LCD to the DVI-I port of the docker, and that works, although my only choices are:-
laptop + DVI screen, or
laptop + D-sub screen
what I want is all three, or failing that, the 2 externals

Hi surturmin,

Yes your Vaio can support laptop and external device but if you want two external displays as well as the laptop you will need something like the device I posted earlier..
