Installing a Secondary Display (Dual Display)

The 7610 Motherboard uses an integrated video controller. This controller supports a Monitor port (VGA) and a Digital Display port (DVI) on the motherboard connector row. These two ports provide a single display mode (DVI or VGA) or a dual display mode (DVI and VGA). Dual display mode can be a clone (same video data displayed on both displays) or an extended desktop (the desktop spans across both displays).

The dual mode is configured using the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator control panel.
