I have a problem running 2 TFT on my Via Epia Mini -ITX at the same time !

When I connect my new 7"tft Touch screen to the VGA, its running !! (cool)
But if I also connect the "old" 7" TFT to the svhs, and set Bios to :
CRT+LCD or CRT+TV
The first TFT (VGA) shuts down !!!

I only get the "Windows-startup" picture !!

I am kindof confuse-maybe you need a special splitter for the 2 rca (tft) monitors

Check your display properties... Make sure your resolution and refresh rate is correct for both. It might use the refresh rate of the S-Video line and cause the VGA line to go out of frequency.

The Windows startup uses 640 resolution so 99% of the time it would work.

have you enabled both of the outputs on windows display properties?

I will chek the refresh rate, and the display properties... later... !!

It's no good what ever I try !!!

Every time the second tft is connectet to the Svhs or the RCA
The VGA TFT turns off !!

I am not abel to adjust any thing, regarding to refresh rate !!

What ever I noticed a "bigger" picture when using RCA con. TFT.

I am using a VIA EPIA M10000

I dont really have any exp. with those MB, but in windows you need to adjust the display props. to either clone, or extend desktop onto the second monitor. ..display props, advance.

If that still doesnt not work, you may need to get new drivers for you epia motherboards display adapater. It is possibly that you never installed the xp drivers when you set up the system...or maybe you just got it (the motherboard), who knows. Anyways, try that and report back.

you could use a program called TVTool and set it to clone. Thats what i use.
