Configuring a Display with Catalyst Control Panel
Before configuring a secondary display, make sure you have configured your

always be designated Primary; additional monitors will be designated
Secondary.

Click the Settings tab to access the basic multi-monitor configuration
settings.
Note: ATI software provides many additional configuration features.

Select the monitor icon identified by the appropriate number (for example, 1
for the primary display, 2 for a secondary display).
4.
When configuring a secondary display, select the Extend my Windows
desktop onto this monitor option to enable the Windows desktop to "stretch"
across the primary and secondary monitor(s).

Click Advanced.
The Advanced Display Properties dialog appears.

Monitor Settings section.
Caution:
Choosing a refresh rate that your monitor does not support may damage
your monitor. Consult your monitor's documentation, if necessary.
