"Feed the lettuce to the bunny and eat the bunny." -- Dashiell Hammet
Hey guys.
I took some time off Life & Sanity to try and enjoy the holiday, so that's why the posts aren't going up regularly. I'll be back on the blog after the 1st, for those of you who are regular readers. (BTW, more of you should read ;) )
I got some sweet stuff this year. A pair of wonderful boots from my father, a new monitor, a stocking full of candy, a new pair of binoculars. A nice haul for how absolutely terrible the economy's been on everyone I know.
Sadly, while the monitor works (tested with the working VGA port, it's great!) I can't get it to work at the same time with my other two monitors. (I've a widescreen HANNspree on HDMI, a square ViewSonic on VGA, and the new one, an NEC, on the other VGA port.) I'm going to go see if I can get my damned rig to recognize the input.
Have a good night, guys.
[UPDATE]: Seems I just need a DVI-to-VGA adapter or a DVI cable. Just some nonsense about not able to be using onboard ports whilst using discrete ports.
[UPDATE 2]: Doesn't work with DVI. This is stupid. Eyefinity means, among other things, hardware support for 3 monitors.
