Pascal, I understand your argument. :-) I did not mean to imply that it is Intel's fault. The way Intel i7 has been set up, one is dependent on third party drivers to interact with the Intel i7 graphic platform. This negotiation between the i7 graphics platform and 3rd party drivers (like Nvidia) with respect to Intel Optimus technology is an added layer of complexity that at this stage, limits graphics on many i7 computers such as Dell and Lenovo. My only point was that use of a second screen is not only determined by the dt developers. Its probably not neccessary to get involved in a long discussion about this as this issue does not really contribute to the further developments in dt. I would be extremely interested in developments to utilise 2 screens in dt. Thank you very much for your seminal contributions. :-) Kind regards, willemf
