Secondary PCs with two graphics processors

from Stardock Forums

I have Multiplicity Pro and really appreciate this software (a lot!); however, one of my secondary PCs (a Dell Precision laptop) has two graphics processors, and when I 'KVM' that machine I am only able to access the main monitor (the monitor that is driven by the Intel CPU graphics processor), not any of the other monitors connected to the device (driven by a Nvidia graphics card).

My question: is there a way that I can get Multiplicity to access all of the monitors on that secondary machine, and if so, how? Is there some sort of work-around that I might apply. And if this isn't possible, might I recommend that this request be send to the developers.

Thank you very much for any help I may receive. Joseph

If I understand your post correctly, you are suggesting that I force my Precision laptop to only use one or the other graphics processor. That defeats the purpose of the higher end model of laptop that I have. I was asking if, or hoping that, there may be a way (or a work-around) allowing me to access (through KVM) all of the monitors on the Precision laptop without crippling some of its graphics features. If so, I would be grateful for any suggestions. If not, let me know.

Again, I am grateful, nevertheless, for those who have taken the time to read and respond to this post. (As a note: the seamless feature works perfectly with this multi-monitor system; only the KVM function is restricted to the one monitor.)

Thank you, Joseph

PS: Per the suggestion above, I went ahead and switched my Precision laptop to one graphics processor (i switched it to one processor, rebooted, tried to KVM multiple monitors; then tried this with the other) but was still only able to access (through KVM) one screen. I am open to suggestions. (-:

Thanks...

How is the second monitor attached: DVI, USB, docking station?

Do you have any way to get them both on the same output type; for example, both HDMI?

I could utilize a port converter, otherwise no, I am working with the ports that exist on the back of the precision laptop (it has one vga port, one HDMI port and one displayport). what do you have in mind?
