Background:
Sun Blade 100
Solaris 9
SunPCI II card
SunPCi software 2.3
Windows 2000 Pro
I am trying to get my SunPCi card to display on an external monitor. I have
plugged the second monitor into the video port on the card and lauched the
software with -vga switch as described in the man page. I get a regular SunPCI
window on my Solaris desktop with the video routed to external monitor
message. After a few seconds the external monitor displays the BIOS boot
sequence. It then displays the black Windows 2000 startup screen with the
progress bar at the bottom and then it displays the graphical startup screen
with the Windows logo and the blue progress bar at the bottom.
This is where it gets weird. When that progess bar finishes, the graphcial
splash screen on the external monitor goes distorted and the actual Windows
interface appears in the SunPCi window just the same as if I hadn't specified
an external monitor.
Anybody see this before? Thanks!
