**************************
install the 8500 ati extensions

- 8500 installation does overwrite CarbonLib to 1.6
- warning about old system software, i just installed
anyways.
- requires OpenGL 1.2.1, i have 1.2, but i turn my
OpenGL extensions off anyways.

Umax S900, OS9.1

I read a thread not too long ago about dual monitor
support on a Radeon 7000 Mac card. I bought my card
about 2 years ago and it did have an adapter in the
box to hook up a VGA monitor on the DVI port.

I tried hooking it up back then and it never worked. I
had to reinstall my Twin Turbo to get a second
monitor. Foolishly, i took the second card out some
time ago and tossed it out.

Just plugging in a second monitor into the DVI port
with an adapter does NOT work on my machine. Reading
an old xlr8yourmac report solved the problem....
Here's the excerpt:

"Before I was not able to run 2 VGA monitors (using
supplied DVI-to-VGA adaptor for the second monitor on
the same card). The second monitor would be
recognized, but there would be no picture. No amount
of changing of resolutions or changing of monitors
made any difference.

However, after applying the new Radeon 8500 drivers to
essentially the same system as before, the second
monitor started up and worked seamlessly."
