Hi Parthi,
Great to hear it works for you too, glad to help, and thanks for the
feedback.

As I've said though, multiple display switching is far from ideal, and
the EDID trick is really a hack, so we need nVidia to help sort this out
properly.  I'll try and find some time to lobby them for a bit of support.

Cheers,
Pete
