Dual Displays

SDL Development

I have been reading about using two displays in FULLSCREEN mode and it seems that the topic has kind of died. Is there a way to run a SDL application using multiple displays in FULLSCREEN mode?

Thanks,
Walt.

sdl 1.2 NO
sdl 1.3 YES

in sdl 1.2 you have to start 2 instances of your application, let each
open 1 screen and syncronise both via some kind of IPC (pipes, sockets,
shm, …)

This type of exercise seems excellent to me! Like putting yourself in
the path of distributed rendering.
