- If all you need to do is show the same screen on two monitors,
- and if they're not that far away, and okay, if you don't mind
- them looking just slightly dimmer than normal, is to make
- the proper cable.
-
- Analog RGB is a pretty simple affair, and you can literally
- tap a second connector off of the first cable. I've done this
- without many problems such as sync or interference.
-
- Get a nice clear pin-out of the connector on your VGA card,
- and the connectors on the monitors you wish to hook up. Then,
- grab some wires, a soldering iron, and an extra connector
- and you are go!
-
- Good luck, and don't blow anything up. Remember, if this
- doesn't work, it's not my fault...
