Re: keeping the custom

I have had the same problem in the past. Sounds like PowerDesk is overwriting the custom profiel you've set up.

Head over to http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=17827 and follow the instructions at step #5.

Hope it helps

Re: BIOS, POST, GRUB, etc,. on single center screen?

I've been through a few different variations of this problem. With Post/Boot screens on the left or center or right monitor only, left and right monitors, center and right monitors, and stretched across all three.

The only way that I managed to fix this was the following:

If you're after the upgrade kit, for your existing DS100, that will allow you to use 3x24" monitors out of the box you need to order the Long Crossbar Extender Kit with part #97-447-200.

This kit will allow you to upgrade a dual monitor DS100 stand (#33-322-200) or triple monitor DS100 stand ...

Is there a good triple monitor stand for 3 - 24" ?

Have a look at the DS-100 from ergotron, they seem to indicate that if you get the triple monitor version with 55" crossbar you can fit three monitors up to 622mm wide with the long crossbar. With the Dell 24" monitors I checked width vary from 560mm to 585mm depending on bezels so you should be ...

Just had my custom resolution nerfed by my system, it was running fine and then after a week it just mysteriously disappeared so now I'm back to 5040x1050@57Hz with a nag screen. I'm guessing it's the Matrox GXM that is deleting or overwriting it.

Does anyone have an idea on how to disable this ...

Re: Latest 191.07: 5040 AND DX10!!

Ok so colour me excited... after months of being XP and within days of me getting a free copy of Win7, the latest NV drivers allow me to get 5040. And according to Thales he can tun DX10! Not tested here just installed it and this is the first thing I have done.

This looks fantastic.

I can see that portrait and landscape mode are supported which is great but these have all been shown with identical monitors all setup in the same orientation. I'm yet to see anything on mixed modes being used i.e. something like this.

Cant get over 3840x1024 :( 3 years and counting.

Without downgrading your drivers.... not sure. A slight downgrade to 190.56 might help though. I tried the newer 190.62 drivers and could not get them to work.

A few people (me included) have had success with Nvidia 190.56, GXM 2.05.00.020 and TripleHead2Go Firmware 2.3.40

The monitor stand question

Do you have to drill holes into the wall for the monitor mounts? I live in an apartment so that would probably be a no-no.


Only if they are Wall Mounted arms or mounts. The ones we have been discussing are freestanding on your desk.

For you too fit the 22" do you have to tuck them behind or is that because you wanted it that way?

They will also fit right next to each other, I just tucked the outside monitors behind the central one to minimize bezel and turn them a couple more degrees towards me.

I've got the Ergotron DS100 Triple Stand and find it pretty awesome although it could use a longer mounting pole or lift stand like the LX.
