· In Clone Mode, some video problems can appear on the screen when video resolution is changed. Another video resolution change will make the problem disappear
· With IR32 video codec in 16 bits color resolution, the video may display incorrectly. Modifying the window size to a smaller size will make the video be displayed correctly
Windows 2000:
· In Clone Mode, some video problems can appear on the screen when video settings are changed. Another video resolution change will make the problem disappear
Windows 98:
· There is no possibility to play a DVD on two monitors when we are in extended desktop option. This is a limitation of Windows 98
· Not optimized for Direcxt8 (Only Direct X7 is supported on VL400)
· In dual screen, some games using OPEN GL cannot be played. (For example Quake 3)
Windows 2000:
