SimplyTV card on LC575 - non-extended display?

[phreakindee]

I just got a SimplyTV card by eMachines for my LC 575. It works fine through S-video, which is what I wanted. However, is there a way to get it to display only one monitor/screen at a time? I know I can't do both monitors at once, since I only have 1MB of video RAM. But for some reason it only lets me adjust it to show the regular OS screen on one screen, and an extended desktop on the other, either screen being the left or right depending on what you choose in the Monitors & Sound panel.

I don't want the extended, if I can help it, as it causes serious problems when I run the mouse to the edges of the screen. Essentially, the problem is it cannot seem to output at the same resolution on each monitor (TV out and the built-in monitor), one is larger res than the other (one at 640, one at 528). Any suggestions?

EDIT: The guy who sold it to me emailed me an *.app file with the software for the card, but I don't have OS X to open it... any chance of anyone having this software in usable form, or maybe being able to extract it and then send it back to me so I can use it on 7.6.1? Thanks for any help

The SimplyTV card would have its own VRAM, which is how it would be able to support the extended desktop.

I haven't played around with mirrored displays in the Classic Mac OS for a while, but from memory I think you should be able to click the "Arrange" button, and drag one display and drop it onto the other. I think thats how you do it, anyway...

Yes, that's how it should be able to be done... however when I do that, it only goes back to side-by-side. The option for mirrored displays is grayed out too, which is why I was wondering if perhaps it needs its own software to set it up.

Tried the Mac Driver Museum?

Indeed I have - they have some eMachines and Supermac video drivers, but for other products other than the SimplyTV
