Yes, that's working for me also. I am now suspicious that previously I might have set the 'Switch to Screen 0/1/2' instead of 'Window to Screen 0/1/2' setting as the setting you call out now is working and I don't remember working at the bottom of the list earlier. Anyway, it works. Thanks. > > (FWIW, I'm considering installing a third monitor, smaller but the same > resolution as my other two, as my system status display.

Be careful about port assumptions. As you run Radeon (I think) it could certainly be different but my 3 port NVidia cards really only support 2 monitors. If I was to use the Display port I'd lose one of the DVI. For me to get to 3 monitors here I had to install a second card (also NVidia) which has unfortunately limited my options WRT OpenGL, etc. None of the KDE features that do things like show all 6 Desktops work on my server which has 3 monitors split across 2 cards. There's a bunch of info on the web about how this is a known limitation, etc., so I haven't fought it at all. Apps like xine work perfectly on Screens 1 & 2 but display a black box on Screen 3. (Audio still available.) Still, I do most multimedia on Screen 3 using a Windows XP VM in VMWare running NetFLix/Hulu, etc. Note that the most recent versions of Virtualbox don't seem to work for this feature saying they cannot lock the screen or some other such DRM-ish message. So far, if I was insistent about getting OpenGL working on 3 monitors, and based on my current skill set, I'd go look for a new VGA card that supported 4 monitors as it allows the whole OpenGL graphics space to be in the memory on one card. I believe I read that works fine, as it does on 2 monitor cards. On the other hand, and from a COMPLETELY selfish point of view, if you want to get a second VGA card and pound these OpenGL problems into submission I'll GLADLY follow along in awe as you fix my problems also! ;-) Thanks for the help!
