I have a Radeon 9200 card for my HTPC build and I'm curious if anyone has used the 'Hydravision' support to drive multiple monitors while MediaPortal is running.
What I have in mind is to connect both the TV monitor using S-Video and a spare 15" LCD that I have using the VGA output. It APPEARS that the HydraVision tool with the Radeon would allow the system to be configured so that MP and any of its functions would always be directed to the S-Video output (Monitor 1) while any other display output would be directed to the VGA/LCD (Monitor 2).
This way MP would continue to operate unimpeded while other "non-MP" applications such as backups, CD burning, etc., would display on the LCD.
I've played with MP running in a window on my Thinkpad so it is clear that MP does not demand the entire desktop.
I'm curious if anyone has done this and knows that it will work with MP running.
