Dual monitor & preview question

Hi!

I don't know if i'm asking for something that
there is not suposed to be.
I'm using Radeon 9200 VIVO on my AMD machine.
When swithing to Dual monitor mode when i enable 2nd scren
projections are playng on the projector but the preview
screen in reslume goes blank.
Now the problem is that sometimes projections are playing
somewhere (behind me) where i can't see them.
What i'm interested in is, how to see the output (preview)
of what i'm playing on preview screen i resolume
& on the projector simultaneously? Can it be done?
I remember having both views active on my previous machine
by default. Is there any option i'm not aware of?

Thanx...

You have to put your 2nd display onto 'clone' and in the overlay settings of the driver have theatre mode on.
Now when you load resolume go to the settings and turn on video overlay. This should work perfect and give you a preview and TV/VGA out on the second monitor.
Resolume doesn't like overlay support perfectly though and with ATI based cards you will have to turn ON overlay everytime you load resolume up. This also means you have to turn it OFF on the way out too. Otherwise it will have to load resolume twice - once to turn off overlay and then again to turn it on.

Can this also be done with my Nvidia GeForce Ti4200? I'm facing the same problem.

Where can you put the theatre mode on? where exactly are those "overlay settings" in GeForce 2 ...

nvidia cards don't support overlay within resolume.
Matrox and Radeon Cards only sorry
