I am having issues with my triplehead2go now that I am on windows 7. Every time I switch to a dual monitor resolution wanting 2560x1024, it centers the resolution between the 3 monitors instead of just the right 2 monitors. :( Anyone know what I have to change in the Matrox software to fix it?

/are your screens 1280x1024???


I was having an issue where a single screen appeared half on the centre and half on the right - swap screen was as bad, half on left half on centre of BLANK centre with halves on left and right..

Working now for me on 182.5 nvidia drivers and PD 2.05 with .56 firmware.

All my monitors are 1280x1024. No matter what it centers the 2560 x 1024 res in the middle of the triple monitor instead of middle and right. I just upgraded the firmware on the device and still no dice.

Does anyone have an answer for me?

Did you add this DualHead resolution in [Multi-Display Setup] Mode Management ? I suppose it has to be present in your "custom list" as a DualHead mode to work as intended.

That's how i got the 2560x1024 resolution. Powerdesk gives me an error every time i try to apply settings of 1280x 1024 75Hz (2) which the monitors are capable of doing.

I don't suppose hitting the Swap Displays button helps ? Or using the old firmware ? :?
No idea what's wrong mate, and since DualHead is not exactly a Widescreen Gamer's favourite I guess you'd better ask Matrox for support...

When I hit the swap display button it puts the following pictures on each monitor.

Half of a left monitor
All of one monitor
Half of the right monitor

Everytime i click swap display it just moves those 3 options every which way. I may go with an older firmware. I don't need widescreen resolutions added. Whats the last one to include the non widescreen modes?

No idea :oops: Presumably anything prior to August 2008. I was mostly referring to the very latest firmware update though, which tends to break a number of things related to default screen, stretching of POST screens etc.

i have the stretching post screen and such. I don't care about the widescreen resolutions. Which one do you use then, I will just try those.
