330830 2005-03-05 05:48:00 I have Gforce GA-GF1280 graphic card. Would like to connect another monitor. Had before Matrox with dual outputs, but GF has S-video and another output signed "Comp out".
Is it possible to actuate another monitor with this card and how?

Any ideas?
Thanks

330831 2005-03-05 05:59:00 Nope don't think so. Thats usually to connect to a TV's RCA video in sockets

Or S-video input.

330832 2005-03-05 07:10:00 Hi Gonzales! Thanks. OK, another, may be, silly idea. I have Matrox dual head card. But my new motherboard Aopen AK73 has only PCI cockets and old Matrox needs AGP. Is there a way to work around this? taly (5956)
330833 2005-03-05 07:32:00 Nope afraid not Taly :(

If the mobo has no AGP slot, there's no way you're going to make one.

You would have to get another mobo with an AGP port.

Install the latest NVIDIA drivers, plug a cable in and fudge around with it. You can't hurt anyone.
