1350428	2013-08-02 13:11:00	There seems to be several different versions of this MB and several versions of the User Guide so the page number in post #21 might be wrong. Could be Page 2-21 but the menus and sub menus are the same.	jinja_thom (4306)

This comment appears in the user guide under the heading Surround View, on page 3-25 of the downloadable zip file named E5792_M4A88TD-M USB3.pdf. "When set to [Auto], only the primary display could be activated". Hope This Helps	jinja_thom (4306)

"When set to [Auto], only the primary display could be activated". Hope This Helps From the page you refer to: 5139 Not sure that I understand what is supposed to be done. "Surround View" is grayed out so I cannot select and change it from Auto. If I disable Internal Graphics Mode (from the UMA setting where it is now) the Surround View disappears. In the attachment above, from page 3-25, I do not understand what "Set PCI Express device as primary display" means - I could not see any such option in the BIOS. Note that the user guide that you refer to is the USB 3.0 version of the mb that I have. Unfortunately the mb that I have does not have USB 3.0 although when I ordered it I thought that was what I was getting (did not realize that they sent the USB 2.0 version until I had the PC built). Do I need to DISABLE the Internal Graphics Mode so that it is not UMA, causing Surround View to disappear? In the post that I made at 7.47 AM today, the attached screenshot shows 4 Options for the Primary Video Controller - do I need to change the current (top most) setting? Thanks for your assistance.

Technical writers have not improved very much in that time IMHO. I think basically you need to fit a specific type of graphics card into one of the PCI express sockets and set it as the primary then you can use the integrated graphics controller as secondary. Good luck and let us know how you get on.	jinja_thom (4306)
