Dual display on GeForce 6150

Hi,

I am having a problem connecting a second display to my laptop running vista ultimate 64 with geforce go 6150. I do get the image to display on both monitors, however once in a while both displays blank out for a few seconds and then the image comes back up. I've updated the drivers and bios, and that did not help much.

I'd appreciate your input on this.


Thanks,


-igor

Are they blanking out when you are starting or stopping an app? If the app is not compatible with the areo desktop it will readjust on the fly.....

-nope, it just happens by itself without any activity on my side. I can see that sometimes the image migrates to the primary display for the time that the secondary is blanked out.

i've noticed the 6150 likes to blank out a lot, especially when installing apps. Hopefully better drivers will appear

However you cannot expect too much from an integrated graphics chipset, so you may be overtaxing the graphics subsystem.

my advice is to lower your screen resolution and/or bit depth and see if that helps
