Controling applications using ATI Catalyst

External Since: Jul 30, 2007 Posts: 2

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right group. It's the only one that I can find
which mentions ATI.

I recently switched from an nVidia graphics card to an ATI card.
I have Dual displays set up in Horizontal Stretch mode.
When I used nVidia, the control software had a neat feature, that it
could control the applications that you manage. For instance, if I
open up an application, I can maximize it to only one screen. Or if
alerts appear, I can get it to center on only one screen.

Does anybody know if Catalyst supports this feature?

Thanks.

Yes, there is a separate program called Hydravision that augments the
standard Catalyst drivers. It's the approximate equivalent to nVidia's
Twinview (or nView?).
