I thought that it wasn't possible to split the IP off to another display, or
were your referring to separate computers?

I was thinking that one possibility would be a Flight Instrument Trainer, so
the instrument panel would take up the entire screen, with no out-the-window
display. Of course, for that case, I guess I could turn off the update of
the visual scene completely.

3-D panels allow you to define 'hot-spots' too, right, whereas you can't do
that on 2-D panels, correct?  ('Hot-spots' being areas on the screen where
you can click and get an action out of it).
