[thechat] 2 monitors behavior with fullscreen popups (Was: ki nda cool)

[McCreath_David]

It's a combo of W2K and the previously mentioned Matrox g400 dual head card.
I'm running 19" and a 17", but they're both at 1024x780, and because of some
basic incompatibilities between the OS and the card, I end up with one big
monitor. This is not the intended behavior of the g400; I think at one point
I had messed with it enough so that I got things maximizing in my 19"
instead of both screens, but it messed up something else.

It's annoying only in 2 ways: 1) those instances where somebody thinks I
need to see their window stripped of chrome and controls and 2) because what
I was hoping to do was be able to switch one monitor to 640x480x256 colors
on the fly. I could do it on 98 or NT4 with this card, it's only W2K that's
screwy. I could easily solve it by installing a cheapo PCI video card and
get all the benefits of two cards, but I'm kinda lazy about hardware. :)
