Make DirectX select secondary display

[CyberCarsten]

I have a 2 mb S3 Virge and a Voodoo2 Card installed in my computer.(Speed devils!! )

Whenever I rund Direct3D apps, the primary display driver (S3 Virge) is selected instead of the Voodoo Card. This results in an error, and I can't run the program.
Any advice on how to make DirectX select the Voodoo Card???

Somewhere in your project there is something like this:

Set D3Ddevice = D3D.CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, hWnd, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, D3Dpp)


Now, simply replace the 1st parameter(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT) with 1

(I got the same speed devils as you)

Hehe
What can I do if I don't have the source for the program???
PS: I use C++

You could change the slots the video cards are in so that the Voodoo2 is in the main slot, then get a driver for that, so it is the main card.

Do I just have to put the Voodoo Card over the S3 Card??

If the S3 card is above it more likely than not you have to switch them around. (but change to Standard VGA 640x480x4bit colour driver before doing so)
