Folks,
I have two monitors.  On one I would like to run Moray, and on the other 
POV-Ray.  This is easy enough, no challenges there.  But ... when I render a 
scene in Moray, the render window in POV-Ray closes and re-appears on the 
same window as Moray ...

I don't know if this is Moray or POV-Ray responsible ... but wonder if 
anyone else has had this issue.

Also, I find that when I start Moray, I can't move it to the other monitor. 
I guess this is because OpenGL is linked to a single monitor but I'd like to 
be able to move Moray to the other monitor and "ask" it to re-initialize 
OpenGL to use that one.

Anyone else playing with dual monitors?

Neil

Isn't it possible to have only one wide desktop spread across both monitors?
I think your windows should remember their position on this desktop and stay
on the screen you decided

Marc,
I have two separate graphics cards in my machine, one an AGP and the other a 
PCI.  As such, I don't have one logical (wide) desktop but two desktops that 
are separated.  I can drag windows from one to the other and even span 
windows between the two... but the technology seems to break down when I use 
OpenGL applications that seem to want to bind to one screen or another.

When I hit render from Moray the Povray main window stays on the second
monitor but the render window jumps on top of Moray on the first monitor
each and every time. This is very annoying.

I guess Povray is responsible as it controls the placement of the render
window. Any suggestions anyone?
