I'm looking for dual-display (no driver-span) aware screensavers here. The
built-in screensavers of WinXP handle more than one display very well but
not very impressive.

Does anybody know further screensavers for this purpose?

Thanks in advance because it seems to be hard to get some (Google provides
too much garbage).


This are the most impressive screensavers I've ever seen:

But unfortunately they only work on the primary display. Perhaps we can beg
some little dual-display enhancements of the author? Wink


I found Flurry also, but it won't work on a dual-display configuration if
the right one is the primary display (because the left has negative
coordinates), so the saver only uses the right display. Sad

those screensavers work fine if you have a program called ULTRAMON
it does what you want and much more

Sorry, you misunderstood my question ... I'm looking for a screensaver that
spans over all displays (as they were one huge display). Ultramon can use
several screensavers (one saver on each display).

A single screensaver using all available displays looks very nice. But that
couldn't be done by Ultramon.

It's my experience some screensavers will use the whole desktop. If I
remember right, even most of the ones that "come with" Windows.

What usually won't work is any screensaver that uses OpenGL or DirectX (only
uses primary display), e.g. MS's own downloadable freebie "3D XP Windows"
and others of the same "ilk".

I just swapped in a different 2nd pci card (Matrox Mystique) as my previous
card (Cirrus Logic) would work as secondary under 98SE but not under XP.
Just now back to dual-displays and haven't bothered "remembering" which work
and which don't ... yet Smile
