Anyone get it working with 3 screens?  In theory it should be possible as
long as GPL gets the list of possible screen resolutions correctly.  It
should be a case of changing the FOV to something HUGE! (130ish) and
bam....3 monitor loveliness :)

All the best,

not sure if he was using the matrox card but someone here posted a video of a
few laps of monza using a 3 monitor set-up.  i only remembered because i found
the .wmv in my dl folder last night :)  the file name is 3mon_Monza_lo.WMV so
maybe if you do a google search you could come up woth something.

I'm pretty sure that guy was using 3 PCs networked with custom views for the
2 side monitors.  Its great to watch though, which is why i'd like to try it
:).  Oh well, i'll try it in 2 days :)

All the best,

I thought there was a video of someone running Nascar 2002 on 3
screens using a Parahelia. Not sure where I saw it though.

The video was Live for Speed, but there is a patch for N2K2 you can download
from papy that will allow N2K2 to do the same ...
