254 and Windows Me support up to nine monitors (and video adapters), each of which can provide a different view of the desktop. You can display a separate program on each monitor, use different resolutions and color depths, and enjoy other features. On a multi-monitor Windows 98 or Windows Me system, one display is always considered to be the primary display. The primary display can use any PCI or AGP VGA video adapter that uses a Windows 98 mini-driver with a linear frame buffer and a packed (non-planar) format, meaning that most of the brand-name adapters sold today are eligible. Additional monitors are called secondaries and are much more limited in their hardware support. Video cards with the Permedia chipset (not the later Permedia NT and Permedia 2) can’t be used in a multiple-monitor configuration. The following list of video card chipsets with the specified Microsoft Windows 98 or Me drivers can be used in any combination of primary or secondary adapters. Unlisted chipsets also can work as primary adapters. This list is condensed from Microsoft’s Knowledge Base article #Q182/7/08 (check it for updates): • ATI—Mach 64 GX and beyond, including 3-D cards, Rage Pro series, Xpert series, and others using the ATIM64.drv or ATIR3.drv • S3—765 (Trio64V+) S3MM.drv Note Chapter 10—Video and Audio Only certain updates work. These are 40, 42, 43, 44, 52, 53, and 54. Note that if the card is at one of these updates, Windows 98 recognizes the card as a Trio 64V+, provided the Microsoft driver is used. If the card is not at one of these updates, it is recognized as a Trio 32/64. Some OEM drivers don’t care which update is present; be sure to note carefully which Microsoft driver Windows 98 selects when you use this card. Other S3 chipsets include the Trio64V2 and various Diamond, STB, Hercules, Number Nine, and other cards using the Virge or newer chipsets. • Cirrus—5436, Alpine, 5446, and other cards using the CIRRUSMM.drv • Tseng—Cards with the ET6000 chipset • Trident—9685/9680/9682/9385/9382/9385 chipsets
Setting Up Multiple Monitor Support in Windows 98/Me/2000 255 Windows 2000 also provides multiple-monitor support, but with some differences from Windows 98/Me, as seen in Table 10.22.

This list is likely to change as Windows 2000 support becomes more widespread, but unfortunately the online version of the Windows 2000 HCL doesn’t provide an updated list of cards that support multiple-monitor configurations. You should check with your video card or chipset manufacturer for the latest information on Windows 2000 and multiple-monitor support issues. Some video card manufacturers, including Appian and Matrox, make video cards that can support two or more monitors with a single card, avoiding the problems of using multiple cards for multiple-monitor support.
