dual monitor and Johnny5 question
« on: September 16, 2006, 03:12:28 pm »
 
I'm in the planning stage of the my cab.  I'd like it to have dual monitors, one for the game and the other to constantly display the Johnny5 output.  I plan on having dual video cards, no problem.

Now my question.  What monitor control software is needed?  Do I extend the desktop from the main (game) display to the secondary (Johnny5) display?  Do I use Powerstrip?  HowardC mentioned a program he wrote/uses called "dualie" which I haven't been able to find.  Is that the solution?

I'm lost.  Has anyone already done this?
