Resolution, refresh and color depths supported are automatically determined
when the video driver is run.
Installation:
Windows 2000 will auto-detect all the video ports in the system, prompting for every port.
Specify Have Disk and point to these files. Do not shutdown between detection of each port,
shutdown after all ports have been configured.

Configuration:
To configure your multi-screen system for a specific setup, from the Start
Menu click on Settings and click on the Control Panel. Then double-click on
SetArray. When the dialog box appears it will give you choices for the number
of horizontal and vertical displays, single screen, the full screen display and
blank-on-full-screen option. Any changes made with SetArray will become
effective the next time NT boots.
After SetArray changes have been saved the display array parameters will be
updated in the System Registry. If changes were made to the array size a dialog
box will prompt you to apply changes now with yes or no buttons.
The DisplayArray parameters are described as follows:
"H" controls the number of horizontal screens desired.
"V" controls the number of vertical screens.
Both parameters must be set or the driver will auto-configure for the
number of cards in the system. The "FullScreenDisplay" can be used to change
the default screen for a DOS full screen prompt. Valid numbers are 0 through
the numbers of screens set by auto-configuration or by valid values of
(H x V)-1. The "BlankOnFullScreen" parameter can be used to blank all screens
during a full screen prompt, so that information shared with others can be
hidden, because it is not updated and may be not be correct in a live
update situation.
Below is an example of using two boards, setting to 3 screens, full screen
display is the middle screen, blank the other 2.
Registry location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\N50S397\Device0
DisplayArray.H=3
DisplayArray.V=1
DisplayArray.FullScreenDisplay=1
DisplayArray.BlankOnFullScreen=1
If none of the parameters above are set the default is:
H=0, V=0, FullScreenDisplay=0 and BlankOnFullScreen=1.
Additional User Registry parameters:
xOverlap and yOverlap control the amount of overlap from one screen to
another this is mostly used to align projection screens.
DisplayArray.xOverlap
DisplayArray.yOverlap
On some VIA chipset systems they change the video BIOS size from 40k to 64k and the
driver cannot detect this condition. Set NoBIOSCheck to 1
DisplayArray.NoBIOSCheck
To disable the software cursor set SoftwareCursor to 1.
DisplayArray.SoftwareCursor
To limit the size of the frame buffer in megabytes, set MemorySize to a value
between 2 and 32. The example show a setting for 16 meg.
DisplayArray.MemorySize=16
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
