Default LightWave on Dual Monitors

finally got it to work

after downgrading to Detonator 41.09 and disabling Overlay it all works like a charm now.

main window, scene editor and surface editor on the left, spreadsheet and graph editor on the right.

Sweet Philip. This is something I've been meaning to get around to for some time, but it's more a question of finding space for my old CRT next to my work area...

... Hmm guess I'm going to have to start moving some furniture around soon...

I think Phil didn't really have a problem.. he just wanted to make us drool. That's cruel man... very cruel! By the way, I see my tablet.

Hmmm....I've been using a dual monitor setup for YEARS...for EVERYTHING. Ah, the joy of a Mac!

Here's my modeler (with a WIP). I scaled it down 50%. I'm using 2 19" CRTs.

Exactly what do I need to go dual?
Seems very efficient.

you need 2 monitors (hehe) and a GFX card that supports them (GeForce 4 or matrox with dual head option for instance)

I use a Quadro 4 XGL 750 on win 2k, dual head is also supported on win XP (I believe even on win 98 and Win NT4)

don't know about the Radeon drivers, but with the NVidia drivers it was pretty easy...
