I've got a high end dual head graphics card.
Head 1 is for my main monitor on my desk.
Head 2 is to be split between my secondary monitor and then down a 5m VGA cable next door to my plasma (which has a VGA-only PC input).
I was going to buy a DVI splitter but have been hearing some rumours that a DVI socket will always autosense whether the monitor that's connected to it is analogue or digital and adjust the output accordingly. (The DVI spitters that I've been looking at still allow cross talk between the first monitor (of the split ones) and the card.)
Apparently the card will never be able to simultaneously output both analogue & digital signals from one head at any one time.
Anyone know if this is true or not?
Many thanks.
Will
