Getting a manual for CCC is difficult. I haven't checked lately,
but you couldn't even download a manual from ATI. The last one I
got, was from Visiontek. And in any case, the above picture
isn't in the manual.
ATI has a KB, and this item is a description of setting up an
HDTV. Providing a good manual, containing this level of detail,
would be an asset to their products.

You will be able to set the video card into dualview mode, which
allows the desktop to be extended onto the secondary monitor.

Didn't have to get a different video card after all. The EVGA PCI
video card I purchased had two video ports. I called EVGA tech
support. The technician said that the card supported dual monitors.
I connected the second monitor to the DVI port, disabled the onboard
video in Device Manager and all is well.
