Dual Display Settings In Windows 95, the computer's dual display technology (two graphics controllers) allows you to set an external display resolution and/or refresh rate different from the fixed internal display settings when in simultaneous mode. Before the external display settings can be changed, the Color Palette on the Settings tab must be set to 256. When the external and internal displays have different resolution and/or refresh rate settings in simultaneous mode, the following conditions are true: s When the Desktop Area on the Settings tab is the same as the larger Resolution setting, panning is enabled on the display with the smaller setting. s When the Desktop Area on the Settings tab is the same as the smaller Resolution setting, centering/expanding is enabled on the display with the larger setting. s Optional Zoomed Video PC Cards cannot be used. s Hotkey popup windows appear on only one screen, usually the internal display.
