Ive got ultra mon running and 3 displays 2 LCds run of a ATI9000 PCI and a 17" belina run off a Geforce 3. now my problem is this, if i use untramon to disable my secondary monitors it works my third monitor gets signal loss and gose into power save, how ever the second monitor stays active. is there any way i can also force this to go signal loss and power save ? or any way to foce power save wiht out having to turn it off ? the reason is i have to disable secondary monitors to run half life, or any thing that uses openGL.

This seems to depend on the display driver and/or monitor. On my own system, with some versions of the Nvidia drivers the monitors would stay on (blank, but not on standby), with other driver versions they go on standby.

well ive looked into the drivers and there shutting down primary and teritary monitors fine, since monitors 2 and 3 share hte same card its odd that 2 gose off but 3 dosent as an alternative to disabling the monitor is there an API call i can issue to power the monitor down into standby mode ? or sleep as well ?

I don't know if this is possible, I looked into it some time ago but didn't find a way to put a specific monitor on standby.
