Default Enabling extended desktop with multiple monitors doesn't work

Hello,

I have a Dell GX280 with a built-in Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset
Family that supports two monitors. I recently installed Vista RC1 (5600) as
a clean install and everything went fine.

When the desktop comes up I see a mirrored desktop on my two Dell 1709FP
LCD's. When I go into the dislay properties one of my displays is listed as
greyed/not attached. If I right-click and select "attached" I can then
select the "extend the desktop onto this monitor" option. When I click apply
nothing happens.

I have tried looking for a Vista video driver and/or Dell monitor drivers to
see if that would resolve the issue. I am out of things to try. Any
suggestions?

-Cheers

I too am having a similar problem. I have a HP Pavilion notebook with the
Intel 82855 chipset. I would like to have my primary dispaly my Samsung
SnycMaster 19" CRT with the desktop extended to the notebook lcd. However
when I select this configuration it I only end up with my LCD being the
primary. I have even gone as far as to try to install the old XP drivers
that allowed me to do this but to no avail. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
