I think most (non apple) laptops only have hardware acceleration one monitor(not both simultaneously). One some laptops, you can asign your VGA output as the main, and the laptop monitor as the secondary. You will then only be able to render on the VGA output. For multi-monitor support, it is best to go with desktops, as laptops are made for business people (unless, once more, you pay extra and buy a mac).

Hi,

just a guess, that the 2nd VGA output has bad or no real openGL/3D
support. Or some graphics memory issue? Often with less dedicated
Hardware, the 2nd Desktop has less graphics calcualting power
assigned...though there might be some experts around.

good luck,
