[Novalug] parallel video

List,

can someone enlighten me on what happens when you have two video outputs?

I have two, one old-fashined DB15 (?) VGA (?) (analog ?) plug,
the other a square (24-pin, digital?) one. When I plugged a
second monitor into the 24-pin plug, it too awhile for a signal
to get to the monitor and a signal to appear, but eventually I got
an image. But, the image wasn't the same as the image that came
through the image on the other (15-pin) video output.

I rebooted, and now the two images are the same.

What happened? Why are the two images on the two plugs not the
same? How does it work when you have two monitors that have different
settings (mine are different monitors with the same settings)?

Thank you,

Nino
