Hi, thanks for the tips. Right now I'm packing up to go to the studio where the laptop is waiting. Will check out the settings and the laptop docs.

I think your pb comes from your graphic card you should have the same pb while playing vidéo (black screen on 2nd display) I often use PD with Gem on laptop with other vga or video output and don't have this problem but i already saw it it depends on the power of your graphic card, I manage to do all I want with an ATI radeon Mobility 32 Mo first check you've installed the best driver then config laptop screen 1024x768 16 bit and extended 800x600 16 bit if it doens't work better, gettin in the advanced parameters of your graphic card (right buton on desktop > parameters > advanced > display) and chose your second monitor as principal display instead of your usual laptop screen If it still doesn't work, loook for another laptop (SIS integrated 16 Mo graphic card are not powerful enough)
hope that will help

Hi Thomas and Peter,
thank you for your ideas. I was afraid of this kind of info. I'll have to look into the laptop's documentation to get out of this. Unfortunately I _need_ to use the laptop in the performance - no way of bringing and setting up a desktop there...

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,
Peter
