if you're using win2000 with 2 gfx cards, you can easily set the primary display from the display properties...

if you're using the primary display for gemwin @ fullscreen, remember those dialog boxes open on primary display! BUT nvidia (detonator) driver has an option to set in which display the dialogs are opened... but dunno if it works for 2 seperate gfx cards (i got a geforce with twinView)

cheers

Subject: [PD] nVidia Drivers

FYI:

nVidia released a new driver a few weeks ago which, based on their documention, seems pretty incredible. I'm trying it out right now because I thought it might solve a problem I was having rendering GEMwindow on a secondary display. In any case, it seems worth the upgrade.

I went looking for a driver update because I couldn't figure out why my GEMwin wouldn't display all my cool video and eyecandy on my secondary display...then I found a note in the pd-list archive written by Andre S. a few months ago:

"and remember, when using 2 cards on windows, only card1 (primary display) uses directX/openGL"

ahhhh....NOW it all makes sense.

Thanks Andre,

Dave Sabine.
