Re: [pygame] Pygame and dualhead displays?



Only certain ATI and NVidia divers will give you a a unified display across two
display heads. The standard driver adressing is actually implemented as two separate
video display devices.


Even should you address the drivers as a unified surface, be aware that most cards
will not allow you to open an overlay surface on the second display.

I was thinking along these lines: Windows sees two displays as a one
big 2048x768 display. So, basically I create one big Pygame Surface
(no pygame.FULLSCREEN), and position it in the upper left corner of
the screen. I divide that Surface in half, and do the GUI interface
blitting in the (let's say) left part, and I render my videos in the
right part. Will that work?
