Dual-monitor use on Pavilions with MS-7778 (JasmineR) motherboard

I note that all models of Pavilion with the MS-7778 (Jasmine) motherboard (for AMD) indicate on the spec sheet "
DVI and VGA ports (Can be used at the same time)"  with integrated graphics.  But NONE of the models that use the R revision (MS-7778 (JasmineR) motherboard specify on their spec sheet the possible use of DVI and VGA at the same time with integrated graphics.
I require the simultaneous use of both ports for a two-monitor setup.  I ordered a Pavillion 500-056  (with the JasmineR motherboard) that is on the way here (a factory refurb) and if I open the box it will not be returnable.  Now I am afraid that the JasmineR systems do not support both ports being used together.  Can anyone offer a definitive answer to this question?
Thanks,
Stan

Hi,
I have not seen many if any of the newer HP PCs except maybe for the very low end that don't support two monitors.  I have no reason to believe that two monitors are not supported.  The integrated HD8570D GPU in the AMD A8-6500 does support multiple monitors by design. 
Contact HP Support and see what they say about HP Pavilion 500-056 with the MS-7778 (JasmineR) motherboard.  If you don't like the answer then you have a decision to make.
HP's support number is 800-474-6836 or 800-HPINVENT or online here.
I'll ask internally if anyone in HP knows a definitive answer for your question.  Look for a personal message (PM) but it might take a day or two to get an answer.
Office Depot stocks this model so if a store is close then you might wonder in and ask to see this unit working with two monitors.  Seeing is believing.

  • Dual monitor use on MacBook with BootCamp

    I have a Client using the new 24" LED Display with his MacBook.
    He only want to use the External display and close the notebook when he is in the office.
    This works OK in OS X, he closes the lid so the laptop sleeps, and then wakes it again from the external keyboard. (If there is a better way, let me know)
    The problem we having is on Windows in BootCamp this does not work, the laptop display starts up and he claims the machine heats up quickly in this mode... not to mention the pointer jumping to the extended monitor.
    Any Ideas?
    thanks

    You might want to post this issue over on the Boot Camp thread since it relates to using Boot Camp and MS Windows.

  • NF750 with Dual Monitors using Internal Video issue

    I'm currently trying to get this motherboard to output using both the builtin DVI, and HDMI for a dual monitor setup.
    Unfortunately what is happening is, first, while in windows with current output to DVI, connecting the HDMI, the monitor is not detected. When booting up with the HDMI it will be detected as long as the DVI is not plugged in. If both are plugged in, neither will show a screen.
    Has anyone else had this issue and managed to fix it?
    I have also updated to the latest nforce drivers, and bios.
    Thanks for the help

    I don't believe its possible to use both digital outputs (DVI and HDMI) simultaneously.

  • Considering buying a Mac Mini but I need to know about support for dual monitors using DVI connectors.

    I have a couple of DVI monitors and I'm looking to replace my Windows desktop with a Mac Mini.  I found an article that says it supports dual monitors with Thunderbolt, but I can't find any discussion of using it with existing monitor, or running multiple DVI displays off a single Thunderbolt port.
    Has anyone done this?  If so, what's the best way to achieve it?

    Yes, the Mac Mini has both an HDMI and Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port and supports dual displays in either Mirroring or Extended Desktop Mode. 
    It ships with an HDMI to DVI adapter that you can use for one DVI Display.
    For the second DVI display you will need to buy a > Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter and plug that into the Thunderbolt/MiniDisplay Port.

  • Is there a way to run dual monitors using a mini display port cable?

    I want to connect my 21.5-inch, Mid 2010 iMac to my 13-inch, Mid 2010 MacBook Pro and run dual monitors with the cable because they don't have thunderbolt plugs. I wan't to use two displays for Logic Pro to expand my real estate. I'm not looking to spend over $50 on crazy adapters so cheaper options would be great.

  • T420 and dual monitors using eGPC?

    Hello all,
    I just purchased my first ThinkPad, a T420 (4180 62U).  So far I really love this machine. 
    Unfortunately for me, I didn't realize that this model does not support dual external displays with the built-in graphics processor.
    I was wondering if anyone has had success with using a external graphics card along with the dock so that they can have the dual external monitors and the laptop screen running.
    If so, what hardware should I be looking at? I would welcome any advice or recommendations.
    Thanks
    Zim

    Thanks for the quick reply!
    I haven't actually tried the dock yet.  I was going to order one, then I read that you had to have the Nvida Optimus graphics card to actually do a dual monitor + laptop screen set-up which my ThinkPad does not have.
    It's my understanding that the intel graphics HD 3000 allows another monitor, it just doesn't support tow external monitors.
    Am I mistaken about this?
    If so, then I'll be real happy, because using 3 screens will be a great help when using Cisco Packet Tracer simulator, reading instructions and taking notes.

  • UICM Script Editor and Dual Monitors use

    Has the issue regarding UICM Script Editor use on dual monitors been resolved for UICM v7.5 thru current release? 
    There was UICM script corruption issue in v7.5(x) when UICM Script Editor was moved over to the second screen of a dual screen system.  If the edited script was saved, it was corrupted.  The TAC response, at that time, was use of workstation dual monitors was not supported for v7.5(x).

    CSCsq18107 was filed to update the documentation for this requirement. Customers were asked to raise a PER ( product enhancement request ) ticket for it but it seems no ticket was raised & I dont see this requirement closed in any of the versions released so far. This means, the dual-monitor is still not supported. Not sure if 9.0 comes with good news.

  • Dual monitor using imac

    Can I use my intel Imac as a dual monitor for my MBP?

    Not directly, since there's no "video in" port. However, you could try using ScreenRecycler, which uses the VNC protocol to extend another Mac's desktop virtually (across the network).

    Other alternatives include
    I know on mackbooks I've seen firewire used as an input for a Weiss Dac if you're into two channel audio.  Do any reiceivers take firewire as an input for hometheater?  Has anyone tested Firewire outputs on their W series?  I'm told that firewire is sometimes preferable to USB, I'm not sure why this would be, can USB support passthrough of DTS encoded signals?
    In the case that firewire works and you Do not have a firewire source, maybe something like this would be of value  It converts firewire to digital coaxial s/pdif and allows passthrough of DTS and AC3.
    http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/FireWire-Audiophile_Manual.pdf
    As I'm into audio the critical thing here (and what you're paying for when you purchase blue-ray, is maintaining the digital information from the disk in an unconverted form.  You want a direct bit pass through, and you want as little jitter introduced to the signal as possible.  You most certainly don't want the sound card getting in the way, Digtital to Analog converting and then reverse packaging it up and putting it out over the soundcard digital out.  My problem is I'm not familiar enough with computer audio to know how exactly the sounds is transmitted from your blue ray drive to the digital interface you've chosen.
    Anyone know why USB digital out would not be a prefered method?

  • How to set up dual monitors with a Mac Mini

    The Mac Mini has only one video output port. I very nearly didn't buy a Mac Mini system because I need to work with two monitors. I use the second monitor to display information in Web pages, PDFs, and Word documents while I am working in the main window.
    However, I discovered after quite a bit of Googling that it is possible to set up dual monitors using an inexpensive USB video adapter (about $70).
    So I bought my Mini (1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM, 200GB 7200rpm Seagate Momentus), and I also bought a USB video adapter called the EVGA Plus.
    I've installed this system and used it now for a week, and I am quite pleased with it. So I thought I'd pass this information along to anyone who's interested. Please note that, although this is my first post to this forum, this isn't spam -- I have no financial relationship with any of the companies mentioned here, other than as a customer.
    LINKS
    EVGA Plus:
    http://www.evga.com/articles/409.asp
    Their literature does not mention Mac OS X compatibility. However, the underlying technology is made by Display Link. You can download beta Mac OS X drivers from their site:
    Go to Display Link to download the beta Mac OS support -- see
    http://www.displaylink.com/macbetadrivers.html
    The disk image includes a very well written PDF document that explains the driver's status and limitations.

    NOTES
    * The DisplayLink driver is beta. It doesn't support 2D or 3D accelerated graphics. You can't use it to display iPhoto slide shows, for example. However, I need to be able to display a Web page, document, or PDF in the second monitor while I am working in the first. I've found this solution to be quite acceptable for this purpose.
    * Several other companies make USB video units that use the same DisplayLink support, so they should work, too. However, they are more expensive -- largely because they're set up to function as port expanders, I believe. The EVGA Plus was the only unit priced under $100 when I did my search.
    * USB does not have very much bandwidth, so you might be surprised that to hear that it's possible to use USB to drive a monitor! You'll find that the display isn't as fast as DVI, but for my purposes, I've found it quite acceptable.
    * The EVGA Plus comes with a terrible USB to mini USB cable that will cause all sorts of display problems. Replace it with the type of cable that is used to hook up digital cameras to a USB port.
    * Once everything is installed, you can use the Displays in System Preferences (or just click the icon on the menu bar) to adjust the second monitor. You can choose display resolutions (depending on your monitor's ability, of course). Rotation works. You can also right-click the second monitor and choose a different background color or graphic.
    Don't expect miracles. Don't go this route if you want to run videos or games in the second monitor. And if you get an EVGA Plus, replace that horrible cable!
    I hope this information is helpful.
    Bryan

    There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
    The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!

  • AMD/ATI driver problems on a Dell laptop with attached dual monitors

    I have a Dell Precision M4800 laptop with a docking station for two additional monitors. I'm shooting for a "big desktop" setup, with my laptop display and the two external monitors forming one large multi-monitor X screen.
    When deciding which video driver I'd need, I did the usual:
    $ lspci | grep VGA
    01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Venus XT [Radeon HD 8800M Series]
    Which is weird, because the M4800 isn't shipped with 8800M cards. Rather, it's shipped with the AMD FirePro M5100 Mobility Pro (see above link) (also, too many "Pros", AMD...).
    I tried the open-source driver, but I couldn't get both my external monitors working in tandem, so I went with catalyst-test, since the non-beta version of the proprietary driver doesn't support the 3.13 kernel (or my alleged 8800M series card, for what it's worth).
    My display setup using catalyst-test is still far from ideal. My dual (horizontally adjacent) monitors reset to cloned/mirrored desktops after every reboot, and my machine refuses to show three monitors (dual monitors + laptop display), even with the 2GB of dedicated RAM in my graphics card (see above M4800 link). There's other miscellaneous annoyances as well.
    Using hardinfo, I see that my VGA driver thinks it only has 256MB of RAM... which doesn't align with the M4800 specs. Is there a way to change this value?
    Just today, I found the catalyst-firepro driver, which I think might be the correct driver for my laptop, at least given the specs on the M4800 from the website.
    There's also the option of not using my AMD card at all, and just using the Intel graphics on my laptop. (I had to disable hybrid graphics in my BIOS to get any AMD-specific drivers to work). I'd like to steer away from this, due to the performance loss, but I'd be willing to make the change if the pros outweighed the cons.
    As I see it, I have a few options:
    AMD/ATI open source driver: Can't seem to get two monitors working, much less three...
    catalyst-test: Any two monitors will work together, but not three. Other annoyances.
    catalyst-firepro: Have not tested yet.
    Intel open-source driver with AMD card disabled: Have not tested yet.
    Can anyone who has had similar issues and/or hardware offer a best course of action which has worked for them? I know we're supposed to avoid "opinion" questions, but I think this is grounded enough in the scientific method to merit some helpful responses.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    The last option to me is screaming catalyst-pxp at me, because that's one of the few options if you have integrated graphics and a discrete graphics card.
    Let me get this straight: Can you disable the either or both of the Intel/AMD graphics in the BIOS settings? If so, but don't want to disable either, you might want to look at the hybrid graphics section of the wiki.
    I know about powerXpress and I think I'd like to avoid it. My experience with hybrid graphics on other Linux distributions is that it's rather unstable or just plain unsupported. If someone can convince me otherwise, given their experience with hybrid graphics on Arch/Linux, I might reconsider.
    I'm fairly certain I can enable either of my GPU's separately, but I'll have to check for sure next I reboot my PC.
    The last option I mentioned because I thought the Intel drivers might be more robust than the AMD drivers, which have don't have a sterling reputation when it comes to supporting Linux (compared to nVidia anyways, who I know in the past have had good Linux support).
