XVR-1200 - dual monitor mirrored

Hi,

I've inherited a SunBlade with an XVR-1200 graphics card, currently setup in widescreen mode over 2 monitors. I've been asked whether it is possible to setup the card such that the second monitor displays exaclty what is on the primary monitor - i.e. everything is replicated (mouse movements, applications, etc). This is a live production system so I haven't had the chance to experiment.

Is this possible, either via a card option or via some Xserver change?

Regards,

Ian

I do not think it can be done without external hardware, taking the same approach as when you get set up for a projector.

Glancing briefly through the Installation Guide of that card, I see no help for what you hope to do.

Technically, this is an OS configuration question and not a hardware issue.You're seeking guidance to manipulate some settings in the GUI.

I'll let it continue, here, for the moment.Consider duplicating your question in one of the Solaris forums.
