ok, so started using the new matrox drivers a bit. and yes, they are cool and fix some big win2k problems. the 2nd desktop functions now as a primary desktop extension (i think it can also act as a multi-desktop, but i haven’t cared to try that yet). windows maximize properly and the task menu / autohide functions only on the primary display monitor. now the cool things is that you can 2d and 3d across both monitors (vs the old double monitor where the secondary display couldn’t do overlays). the only bad thing i’ve noticed is i can’t drag icq onto the secondary monitor (i’d like it to latch on the far right, but it won’t budge past the end of the first monitor). i guess, i’ll either play around with the multi-desktop (probably not because i think that’ll screw with my active desktop stuff), or just make lotsa floaters for the few people i regularly message.
the edualhead stuff is an interesting curiousity. i don’t think they’ll become real useful until i get some hotkeys bound. actually, it doesn’t really matter much since i’ve been moving over to mozilla anyway. oh well. having properly working full-screen is nice though… why can’t mozilla do full-screen? argh.
