dual monitor
Hi,
We just got a new pc in the office, the video card is AMD HD 7350 on Lenovo M92p.
The card has a hdmi output and a dvi, the output from dvi is fine. The pc has an built in video output, when I plug in the second monitor to this port, it does not work, any ideas? thx

Hi mcmrg.
If you need to use more displays with M92P, you should buy from your Lenovo dealer, the corresponding splitter cables. It supports up to 4 displays in what Lenovo calls Mosaic.

No you must have a video adapter that supports multiple outputs.
The adapter you have has two ports but is an either or type. Only can use one port at a time.
This is just an example of what you would be looking for

In the title it shows dual monitor support.

We only need two monitors, I wish I could get 4 though.
will this work?

No your video adapter is not a dual monitor adapter.
What do you need.
Dual monitors mean that you have two screens with different information displayed on them
Splitting monitors you will see the same image on both monitors.

yes so you need a dual monitor video adaptor to do just that.
There are plenty out there and not very expensive.

your video adaptor card will not support two monitors
So no that adapter from staples will do you no good.
As I stated above you need a dual monitor video card

Just spent sometime researching your machine since I don't have one handy. Before I go further what model M92p do you have? My guess is you have either the Tower or Small Desktop models because those are the ones that allow you to install a dedicated graphics card. Lenova sells them with the option for an AMD Radeon HD7350 .
IF all that is correct, then I believe you don't need any further hardware. This spec sheet (http://bit.ly/RwX0cr) says this cards supports up to 3 monitors and has connector options for a DisplayPort, Dual-Link DVI, HDMI and VGA. Depending on what you are connecting you may need an adapter of some sort.
If I were sitting next to you, first I would right click on the desktop to see if the dialog box that pops up has a 'Graphics Properties' or 'Graphic Options' option. If it does, then I would explore those settings to configure Multiple Display settings. See the two screen shots below. Since the Tower model uses an Intel processor, you might have a similar looking Graphics Properties dialog on your box.
Second, I would try going to Start > Control Panels > Displays and explore those settings. The Lenovo DisplayPort Adapter Link provided by Goofytouy above explains how to configure Displays here.
If that doesn't work, I would directly contact your vendor or Lenovo support at http://support.lenovo.com
Later Update: Nothing is simple. Assuming you have the 512MB version of the HD7350 you have only the DP and the DVI ports. Depending on the way Windows is configured, you MAY not be able to simultaneously use both the video card integrated into the mother-board, which is where your VGA port lives, AND the HD7350. You can probably double-check that in your Device Manager (Find that by option by right clicking on My Computer, select Properties, click on Device Manager on Left).
IF BOTH are available, under Display Adapters you should see the HD7350 and something like "Intel HD Graphics" for the integrated card. Good news if you see both - you should be able to configure via the Displays Control Panel or the Graphics Properties dialog.

Also, I found this site
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=SF11-D0067
I also followed the steps in bios, still no luck.
There is no 'Graphics Properties' or 'Graphic Options' option on mine, but there is a Catalyst Control Center. It only shows one monitor. thanks

If you successfully changed the bios as the support link shows, I would expect a couple of changes in your system.
1. EITHER ALL the monitors now work OR only the VGA Monitor is working.
2. The listing in Device Manager > Display Adapters will change from the screen shot you posted.
I would go into the bios configuration screen again and make sure the changes have been saved correctly (F10 key):
Select Active Video = IGD
Multi-Monitor Support = Enabled
AND do the simple checks... ensure the non working monitor & connector really works. Take them to another computer and confirm that they work. [I suggest this not to insult your intelligence - just that I have wasted hours in the past overlooking this simple check ]
At that point it's probably time to punt... and call support.
bummer.

lol
If I used
Select Active Video = IGD
Multi-Monitor Support = Enabled
then the VGA works. If I use the rest, the card works.
They work fine "individually", just not "at the same time"

i think once VGA is functional (in the BIOS), then you need to enable the other monitor in the Screen Resolution settings.
thought that might be the case... so while trying to ask Lenovo support how to use both cards simultaneoulsy, it might be time to consider purchasing a displayport to VGA connector.
What kind of VGA monitor are you trying to connect? May need to see it is compatible with DisplayPort Input settings (all you ever want to know about DisplayPorts: http://www.displayport.org/faq/)

we have different monitors in my office, the lcd I am trying to use are dinosaurs,
both Acer, one is X193w, one is AL1706
I need to make sure it "really...really" can not support dual monitors first before I go to my boss asking for the connector.....lol

messing with in Control Panel > Displays > Screen Resolution as suggested by tailoreddigital may be the ticket.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Plus, maximize productivity with support of up to three independent displays or four displays in Mosaic Mode without any discrete graphics card.†

Is this your computer?
So looking on the site they talk about Mosaic mode but not in detail
That is how they support dual monitors
