- Well, I can't say I have any experience, since I've never gotten it to
- work properly!!! I have a XGA-2 card with a 17" for my main-display and
- then I thought I'd use my XGA connected to a 12" mono for secondary
- display. I've never gotten it to work properly, though.
-
- I think OS/2's support of dual-monitors sucks an the program EchoMon
- on hobbes doen't work either - it's meant to work with a color adapter
- and a monochrome adapter, whoever's got on of these nowadays - I don't!
-
- I've also tried asking Borland, why their dual-monitor support doesn't
- work, but - surprise, surprise - they don't know!
-
- So if you get any kind of usable responce, could you PLEASE email me,
- since I've tried to ask the same question with no usable responce...
-
- Thanks,
