Multiple questions regarding multiple monitors.

[imported_heyguy]

Is it possible to play a game in full screen mode on one monitor and have something going on on the other (like having my Windows desktop on the left monitor, and the game on the right)?

Is it possible to have two mouse cursors for two different mice going at the same time?

Would having two different video cards(not in SLi) change any of that?

I just read somewhere that SLi does not support multiple monitors. I couldn't find anything recent about this on the web, though. Is this still the case?

What do people use the picture-in-picture feature on their 2007WFPs for? If TV is one use, what input is being used? Anything else?

Thank you all.

1. Mostly yes, but in order to mouse out of the game to the other screen you'll need to Alt-Tab. Most games don't appreciate that.

2. No.

3. No.

4. As far as I know, yes.

Just to elaborate a bit on #1, different game/hardware/driver combinations seem to behave differently. For me, some games turn off or blank the secondary monitor automatically, while others seem to be OK with it on. Others won't run at all unless I turn it off first. UT2004 used to run just fine with the second monitor active, then something went a bit off somewhere, after which I had to turn the secondary off manually, or UT would not launch.
