Applications may behave differently in a multi-monitor configuration depending on
their implementation:
• Standard Windows applications that use the GDI (Graphics Device Interface) will
clip the window to each display and accelerate the images separately using the
display hardware.
• Applications that span multiple monitors and use Microsoft DirectX*, Direct3D* or
DirectDraw* will be software accelerated.
• OpenGL* applications may exit unexpectedly, hardware accelerate one display with
unknown results on the other or be software accelerated.
• A full screen command prompt or MS-DOS* application will only function on the
Primary Device.
Intel Graphics Controller Hot Keys
Hot Keys provide the same functionality as the Intel Graphics Control Panel with
specific keystrokes on the keyboard. These Hot Keys are listed in the Intel Control Panel
under the Hot Keys tab. The most useful Hot Keys are:
[CTRL][ALT][F1] - Monitor in single display mode
[CTRL][ALT][F4] - Digital Display in single display mode
Note: The Hot Keys can be used to recover from a blank display in Windows. This is
true only if Windows Desktop loads completely; meaning, if Windows is waiting for a
login/password entry or if Plug and Play is waiting for operator input, the Hot Keys are
not yet active.
