Hardware Installation 2-65
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.
