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\N40CL80\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
To force correct operation on some non-compliant systems set the SelectMethod
to 1 or 2. This is required for the HP XU6/200, set it to a REG_DWORD=1.
DisplayArray.SelectMethod
To force operation on the Compaq 2000 P5-MMX systems when using cards with
rev A or B video BIOS, the following REG_DWORD=1 is needed:
DisplayArray.NotPnP
