Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How is Display-to-Go different from the VGA connector on my laptop?
A. Display-to-Go is a secondary graphic adapter. Since it is a secondary graphic controller, it
can independently control the resolution of the secondary display device. An example of this
would be the notebook LCD resolution is set to 800x600, 16-bit and the secondary display
device can be set to 1024x768, 16-bit. If you use the VGA out connector on the laptop the
user is always limited to the resolution of the notebook.
Q. What is the advantage of the Windows 98 multiple monitor support?
A. The Display-to-Go drivers support the Windows 98 multiple monitor mode. Users are able
to run separate applications on the notebook LCD or secondary display device. The typical
scenario is that of presenters wanting their audience to see only the presentation and not the
notes of the presentation. The presenter would launch the presentation, drag it to the
secondary display device for their audience to see. Then they would launch their notes,
which only they would see on the notebook LCD..
Q. Will Display-to-Go support Windows 95 or NT4?
A. No. Unfortunately these two operating systems do not support multiple graphic adapters.
Q. Will Display-to-Go support DVD video on the secondary display?
A. No. The Display-to-Go graphics chip does not support motion vectors or have the benefit of
AGP like the primary display card. Depending on your hardware you may be able to run
MPEG I applications however.
