I have at least gotten a version of my code working that initializes using 1 pipe, 2 windows, and the lower screen. I am wondering that, since I have this working, should I just reconfigure my system to see both screens as one "screen", as this seems to be giving me the results I want when I experimented on the lower LCD only and left the upper LCD out of the equation. Do any of you know if once I go the "one screen over 2 LCDs" route if my calls for glRasterPositions that will be in the "lower" window will be affected by the "one-screen" system change, ie, are calls of that nature window relative or screen relative? Technically my "screen" will now be twice as big as before but my windows will still be positioned so that they appear on the proper LCD.
Here is how I'm getting it to work as 2 windows, one pipe, one screen. I'm leaving the upper LCD out of the equation until the system is reconfigured to see both LCD's as one "screen". Can any of you direct me to any good documentation as to how to get that accomplished in a Fedore Core 3 environment?
