Does anyone know how to properly configure multiple monitors? When I plug in my TV, the only time both displays show anything is when the Alienware splash screen and Windows load bar come up.

There should be an option in Right Click (On Desktop) > Properties > Settings.

If not, check in your graphics card's control panel for Display Settings.

I really don't know if your grpahics card can handle two displays at once though (if they have large resolutions, like a 1600x1200 monitor and a 720p HDTV).

Nvida graphics cards do it quite nicely through the nvida control panel, however it sucks that you cant move your mouse out of a directx fullscreen game taking up one screen, then again, that sorta makes sense. I wish there was some sort of escape key like QEMU's ctrl+alt.

I did the properties editting right, and it shows up on startup, but as soon as I get into the User Logon Screen, nothing happens.

How do I get into the GPU CP?

If you have an nvida graphics card it should be an item in the control panel.

Don't know if this will change anything... but maybe try switiching between primary/secondary..?

Syphon has an x1300 so it's an ATI.

Tried it, just made my computer's background stretch too big, and windows appeared on the tv, witch I couldn't see. Twas hard to reverse.
