P96 + RGB Simultaneously?

Yet another question! I am pretty busy with my V1200 :)

Back in the day when I had my BlizzardPPC+BVision combo, I was able to run 2 screens at the same time. One on CGX and the other one in PAL/NTSC. That way I could watch a VCD on my 1084S while surfing/chatting/workbenching on my CGX screen.
AFAIR the option in CGX was called "Keep Amiga Video".

Is there something similar in P96 and is the Vampire capable of such an operation mode?

Thank you!

You need to set the tooltype
DisplayChain=no

I tried that! As soon as I switch back to P96 screen, the Amiga RGB will go grey. So a simultaneous usage is not possible that way.
 
  I tried Riva and MooVID.

To be precise: Only the RGB screen will turn grey when I switch to P96. The other way round the P96 will stay visible

You may try the tooltypes:

DisplayChain=Yes
NoSwitch=Yes

---------------------

NoSwitch=Yes/No
Default is No.

The driver allows to power off the monitor that lost focus, when switching from Native video and Graphic card video.
 
Note: Requires also to set the ToolType "DisplayChain=Yes".
 
Yes => The monitor that lost focus is NOT powered off.
No  => The monitor that lost focus is powered off.
