Post screen is your bios. No drivers or os just a power On self test (post) to see if the card is sending anything to the display.

The use of a live CD was to see if it was an OS config issue or not.  I have had interesting moments where I had to define my displays in detail before x would work. Not usually an issue much anymore but this is a good check to see if it is the case.

only have one graphics card. What do you mean when you say 'post screen' or running it with a live CD? I am connecting it to already running puters.

On the same graphics card/device? Some devices will only run x number of cards and if you are over x the new displays will just never show. If there are only 2 total then it should be ok. Do you get a post screen and have you tried a live CD to see if they show?

what are you connecting them to? your system might not have the outputs enabled.

I don't know. The plug coming out of the monitors is VGA so I would think it would just be like a regular monitor. Oh.... maybe I should mention that crt monitors work and that these flat screens are replacements for working CRTs.

Or, perhaps the output you are using on CPU box is set to other than the one you are using. Nerve systems sometimes can't output analog VGA and digital at the same time.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
