Split screen output for Presentations

[Thomas McGrath III]

Dan,

That is of course if the alt monitor is at 0,0. We would need to 
determine where the second monitor is located at.

I will look into the new Keynote as to wether it auto detects or not. I 
can't remember.
I will also check my kids iBook. I use a PowerBook G4 15".
