hello all.
i'm very frustrated and tired =\
i want a dual lilliput touch screen from my car pc.
initial plan was via en board with addon for dvi connector and get dvi-d to vga converter for use with lilliput.

now i have everything but isn't working the way i hope.

the dvi addon card works, works fine with a straight dvi to dvi flatpanel

but with converter (dvi-d to vga) to lilliput in place won't work.

i was fearing that because dvi-Digital to analog vga is kinda odd.

please help any suggestion or fixes is greatly appreciated.

i tried setting the display in bios won't work either.
i really want vga dual screens
not vga + TV, quality is horrible

there are no dvi 7in touchscreen, if there is i'm guessing very expensive.

is there any other board that would support dual vga screen?
getting a second graphic card (PCI) but how can i fit it? even with pci riser wouldn't do i barely have room for everything as is.
i rather not get another case.
i can try placing the 2nd PCI graphic card outside of the case but do they have pci cable that long to place the graphic card outside?

help very frustrated.

thank you all.

You could consider an usb->vga device, just keep in mind that it won't work well, if you need fast moving graphics and suck because of the bandwidth.

thanks for the reply.
i rather not with usb, since i'm running alot of usb already.

i was thinking of the matrox device. anyone have any experience or input about that? it split up one vga to multi monitor, even with spread across too not just cloning it

also anyone have use the matrox:
since i have a vga and a dvi connector from the motherboard. can i use a Matrox DualHead2Go Analog Edition (vga) which give me two monitors (vga)
then can i still use another dvi flatpanel for the dvi connector? which give me a third monitor with dvi.

thanks

It would probably work. However someone on the forums has already talked to tech support and they said dualhead2go does not support 800x600 resolution. Which may be bad depending on what your planning on doing. On the other hand ive never used one but it looks like you load special software to let windows know there is two monitors. not sure how that works with video cards that already have two monitor outs. They do have a tripleheadtogo for about $299.00.

It would be intresting to know if anyone else has tried one of these things?

The USB2VGA adapter works great and supports up to over 800 x 600 resolution. this will allow for a second display adapter supporting VGA for around $65.
