Dual port video card

RR is not aware of more than 1 monitor...
The screenrect will only return the first monitor.

But it looks like you are creating a "custom" application that will run
DEFINITIVELY on 2 monitors, right?

In that case you can simply set the loc of your stacks to where the 2 
monitors
are supposed to be...

I had been working with 2 monitors on win in the past and it worked 
just fine.
1280*1024 and 1024*768 aligned at top...

So i could set a stack to the 2nd monitor with

...
set the topleft of stack "monitor 2" to 1281,30
...

Hope that helps...


Regards and a happy new year :-)
