Well, I can't say I have any experience, since I've never gotten it to
work properly!!! I have a XGA-2 card with a 17" for my main-display and
then I thought I'd use my XGA connected to a 12" mono for secondary
display. I've never gotten it to work properly, though.

I think OS/2's support of dual-monitors sucks an the program EchoMon
on hobbes doen't work either - it's meant to work with a color adapter
and a monochrome adapter, whoever's got on of these nowadays - I don't!

I've also tried asking Borland, why their dual-monitor support doesn't
work, but - surprise, surprise - they don't know!

So if you get any kind of usable responce, could you PLEASE email me, 
since I've tried to ask the same question with no usable responce...

Thanks,

Christian
