I have a Lenovo T400 laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series video card, using the ATI Catalyst Control Center to span my Windows XP display over the laptop display and a Dell flatpanel LCD.
This works fine, but I'm used to NVIDIA multi-desktop that let me control the "Start bar" to either exist on only 1 screen... be duplicated on both, or (what I want), stretched across both.
Is this possible with the ATI card/Catalyst Software? If not, are there any utilities out there that will handle this for me?
That is, what I have:
+----------+ +----------+
| | | |
| Lenovo | | Dell |
| (primary)| | |
+----------+ | |
|Start Tray| | |
+----------+ +----------+
And this is what I want:
+----------+ +----------+
| | | |
| Lenovo | | Dell |
| (primary)| | |
+----------+ +----------+
|Start | | Tray|
+----------+ +----------+
