It's because your second monitor output is not 3d hardware accelerated. If you can set your second monitor output as PRIMARY (and not secondary), it might be 3d accelerated. On most laptops, the secondary output is not 3d accelerated.

hello everyone! I got a problem and would really apreciate any help to
solve
it... IŽm running pd on winXP (sucks, I know) on a Toshiba Satellite a16-sp100 (celeron 2.4 Ghz-256 ram) with an Intel 82852/82855 gm/gme graphics controller that I use for an external monitor. The problem is that when I drag a gem window to the external monitor the
CPU
meter goes from, say, 7 to 70, when lucky... that doesnŽt happen if i drag
a
Windows Media window for example, what makes me think that Gem makes the graph controller achieve some ram space to work somehow freely... and the fact that this only happens with pd and gem makes me wish thereŽs a
solution
from pd itself... so I ask for help to the community... thanks in advance cheers Gerardo Morel (aka Grod)
