The information in this article applies to: Microsoft Windows 98 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY This article describes the hardware requirements for multiple-display support in Windows 98. MORE INFORMATION All the display adapters used in a computer with multiple-display support must be Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) or Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) devices using multiple-display-enabled display adapter drivers included with Windows 98. Industry Standard Architecture/Extended Industry Standard Architecture (ISA/EISA) display adapters are not supported. The display adapters installed in the computer do not have to be identical. Each display adapter and monitor combination is separately enumerated and can be configured to use different screen resolutions and color depths. For example, the primary display can be set to 1024 X 768 X 256 and the secondary display can be set to 800 X 600 X 32K. For information about how to enable multiple-display support, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: ARTICLE-ID: Q179602 TITLE : How to Enable Multiple Display Support Using Windows 98 Unsupported Display Adapter Chip Sets Display adapters with the following chip sets cannot be used as a multiple-display support device: Permedia (this does not include the Permedia NT and Permedia-2 chip sets) Supported Display Adapter Chip Sets Any combination of the following supported PCI-based display adapters can be used with multiple-monitors. Only display adapters based on the following chip sets work as primary and secondary adapters. Note that only the PCI adapters listed below are supported as the primary adapter. However, other PCI adapters may work even though they are not supported. NOTE: You also need to use the specified driver. The following drivers are supported by Microsoft and are included on the Windows 98 CD-ROM: Driver ATI Mach 64 GX (GX, GXD, VT)ATIM64.drv ATI Graphics Pro Turbo PCI ATI Graphics Xpression ATI WinTurbo ATI Rage I, II, & II+ATI_M64.drv ATI All-In-Wonder ATI 3D Xpression+ PC2TV ATI 3D Xpression ATI 3D Xpression+ ATI Rage Pro (AGP & PCI)ATIR3.drv ATI Xpert@Work, 4 & 8 MB ATI Xpert@Play, 4 & 8 MB ATI All-In-Wonder Pro S3 765 (Trio64V+)S3MM.drv NOTE: Only certain updates work. These are 40, 42, 43, 44, 52, 53, & 54. Note that if the card is at one of these updates, then Windows 98 will recognize the card as a Trio 64V+, provided the Microsoft driver is used. If the card is not at one of these updates, then it is recognized as a Trio 32/64. Some OEM drivers don't care which update is present; be sure to note carefully which Microsoft driver Windows 98 selects when you use this card.
