SUMMARY
=======
When you configure a system for dual-monitor debugging, verify that both the
monochrome monitor and the color monitor use an 8-bit data path. Any
dual-monitor write scheme requires a common data path to each display card
(either both 8-bit or both 16-bit). Monochrome adapters available today use an
8-bit path exclusively.
Many display cards that support 16-bit mode automatically sense that they are
addressed in a dual-monitor mode. However, some cards, such as the ATI VGA
Wonder card, do not sense this situation. You must manually configure these
cards to use an 8-bit data path.
MORE INFORMATION
================
If you use dual monitors and experience strange behavior, such as random or
blinking characters on the monochrome screen, verify that your 16-bit color
video card is running in 8-bit mode.
The most common use for a dual-monitor setup is to debug a graphics application
with CodeView.
