I'm pretty sure that - years ago - Matrox used to offer to install |
| 13 |
some utility when you installed their graphics drivers; the utility |
| 14 |
had a little icon that sat next to the clock, and when you double- |
| 15 |
clicked on it it opened a configuration window that offered options |
| 16 |
like this. |

Nvidia offer some really nice display utilities (or "enhanced driver" |
| 19 |
or whatever you want to call it) these days. I would consider their |

dual-head options worth the price of a graphics card, so I would see |
| 21 |
if you can try them out somewhere & see if it offers this functionality. |
