OpenScreen() on Dual Monitors?

Post by troy »

Is it possible to open two screens to place each on both desktops? Or to be more specific, I have some 3d object rotating in full screen on primary monitor, the one on the right is blank at this time. I'd like to "clone" the original OpenScreen() to have both monitor displaying the rotating object. What do I need to do to achieve this? Is it PB or OS/video card related stuff?

I think the answer is no. But I can be wrong. (version 5.50)

But on Windows, OpenGL can be used to have :
- 2 gl screen (non native instructions)
- 1 gl Ogre screen and 1 gl screen.

Normally, Linux seems to have similar behaviors.

So, if you just need 2 hardwared video screen, answer is yes. If you need all the native 3D functions on 2 screens, I think it is no...

For multiple screens you have to use "Windowed Full Screen".
