Hi Yanling, Is it that you are trying to create a single graphics context across both screens? With the overlap being hidden by X? I kinda doubt that this is possible.
The way I would tackle the task would be to create two separate graphics contexts, with two separate slave cameras, and then either alpha blend the overlap (this technique is called edge blending) by drawing a alpha blended quad over central edge, or if you can adjust the monitors accurately enough go for a hard edge and just set up the viewports to hide the overlap. The best way to manage this type of adjustment of slave cameras would be to use a Producer .cfg config file, osgViewer can load Producer config files virtue of the .cfg plugin. The way you'd run it is: osgviewer cow.osg -c twoscreens.cfg As for the contents of twoscreens, you'll need to have a download Producer sources and look through Producer's example .cfg files for something similar to what you want then just tweak it.
