Can't see your pic.

I can't see your pic either.

But it might be of use to check wether both your monitors have the seem resolution, because some gfx cards only allow "genlocked" modes for dual screen OpenGL. Check for that in your screen properties. I have the problem that I can't get my second monitor to redraw OpenGL, it only shows the front buffer. But then again, I don't know what you're real problem is. Good luck.

The link to the picture works here for me, anyway way I inserted a new one, hope it works for you.

If the image doesn't appear, I will try to explain what is hapening. I have two diferent graphic cards, one AGP and one PCI, each monitor connected in each card. In the main monitor Maya runs normally, but when I drag something to the second monitor, like hypershade, even a modeling window, like perspective view, it get strange. The window and buttons apear, but the materials in hypershade and what I'm modeling in persp view don't. Can this be an OpenGL problem?



Thanks

Aha I see, this is a common problem, a lot of people have this. Me too. On my second display I can't work properly with Hypershade with right mouse marking menu's etc.

Do you have an ATI video card?
Not sure but maybe some info here:

You mean the second card, right? No, it's a normal generic...

I took a look on the web site you gave me but couldn't find something that could solve the problem here.

I read something that seems explain how to fix this, but by using a nVidia dual head video card. This doesn't "fix" my problem, as I have two diferent cards. :sad:



Thanks

Any other suggestion?


Thanks
