you will probably need to set xorg for two separate displays, and one of these can be 3D accelerated, I usually start pd with Gem from the display with the projector, and control it with another pd started on the other display. This has worked well with 4 screens from 2 NVIDIA cards uswing debian, I guess it would be also ok with an intel chipset, as it does not rely on twinview or any other fancy graphics stuff. Alternatively I believe Gem can open a gemwin on a different display to the one pd was started on, check the list archives as I have not tried this. simon _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
