Trying to use two external monitors. Need help.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000, running Windows 7. It has the Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS,910GML Graphics chip, Driver version 6.14.10.4609.
I want to run 2 external monitors from it, sending the laptop display to monitor 1. I have it hooked up now to one external monitor as monitor 2,
using the VGA output to VGA input of the monitor. I am also using it as the extended desktop. Can anyone help me run 2 external displays?
I also bought a VGA to RCA adapter cable so I can connect it to a monitor without a VGA input, but that doesn't seem to work at all. I might need a
VGA to RCA adapter box for that.
Anyway, the important thing is to get the image off my laptop display and onto an external Monitor so I can have two external monitors.
Thanks!

The only way to do this -- if it's even possible -- is to disable the internal display panel. You can drive only two simultaneous displays using the internal video chip/card.

Yes, that is exactly what I am trying to do. I was hoping if I connected the S-video output to an external monitor, when I hit the Function Key and F8, it would disable the laptop display and send it to the external monitor, but it didn't. Am I going to have to take the laptop apart and manually disconnect the wires from the display and feed them directly to a monitor? I hope not....
