QUOTE(chopin @ Aug 18 2012, 02:08 PM) ok, i did. both monitors could be extended from y480 individually, but now i'm trying to have both -- cannot. Hmmm, then if plug VGA then HDMI?the problem is with the one connected via HDMI. I tried connect to HDMI first - succeed. then when i add in the vga, the vga takes over, hdmi lost signal. VGA will lost signal or not? |
