Does anyone know if the graphics can be viewed on secondary monitors? I've been a fair weather computer cycle donator since the mid 90's and I appreciate the new graphic look to S@H. Would like the ability to move it off to a secondary monitor when using the primary monitor for work.

Thanks

Ok,

By default, OpenGL can only be shown on one monitor at a time, due to a hardware limitation, where the video overlay can only be shown on the primary monitor that's taking the signal of the RAMDAC. This means that you cannot show the graphics at two monitors at the same time, unless you have two videocards, both with their own RAMDAC, or a RAMDAC per video outlet.

OpenGL 1.4 can show the video on multiple monitors, but that's because it's programmed in the program itself.

You ask if you can show the graphics on monitor two, while you do 2D work on monitor one? Depending on your videocard, go to the display properties of your videocard, then choose which of the two is set as primary display. That one will show the graphics, once you pull them over to them.

Thanks for the input Ageless.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're suggesting that I change the primary display (which is the monitor I'd like to be the main workspace)to a secondary and use one of the other secondary monitors to be primary which will show the S@H graphics by default. I could use this workaround since my Nvida manager allows me to choose what ever monitor I want to be the "primary workspace". I was hoping that there was perhaps and direct draw or some overlay setting I could tweak instead of using nVida software to manipulate my graphics environment. Thanks for the help!
