Hello,

Unfortunately, this is still an issue through Java3D 1.4.0_01.  Also
unfortunate is that the workaround referenced in the issue decription
doesn't appear to work.

Hi Antonio,

This is an issue with Java3D, so I did a quick search for related
issues, and found this from the Java3D 1.3-beta1 README file:

  Support for multiscreen-aware applications in virtual-screen
environments

   With this release applications can use GraphicsConfigTemplate3D to
retrieve
   a GraphicsConfiguration from a specific physical screen device even
when a
   virtual screen is being used to consolidate them.  The
GraphicsConfiguration
   can then be used to create Canvas3D objects on that physical screen.

   This allows a separate Screen3D object to be associated with the
Canvas3D so
   that physical parameters such as the screen's position and
orientation
   relative to other screens in the viewing environment can be
specified.

   This support is only available when running JDK 1.4 or later.

So it sounds like Java3D version 1.3 and later provide a means to handle
additional screens in various configurations. You'll probably have to
experiment with GraphicsConfigurations to determine how best to make
things work. (My machine has only one screen, so I cannot test this
issue myself.)

If you find a solution, please inform the list, so that we can improve
VisAD's support for multiple screens.

Thanks,
Curtis
