Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Can UltraMon stretch screensavers?

With the old Nview I could stretch my desktop (not extend it) which caused most screensavers (incl. the OGL ones available here) to stretch as well for a nice effect. Can UltraMon do that (it's disabled in the latest Nview)? I know it can repeat the same screensaver, but not very well. (P4-2.52Ghz, 512MB PC1066, G4 Ti4400-128MB).

UltraMon can't stretch a screen saver, it can either run multiple screen savers (the same or different ones, one per monitor), or run a single screen saver on the primary and blank secondary monitors.

If you want to run multiple OpenGL screen savers, your system should support OpenGL acceleration on each monitor, otherwise performance will most likely be quite bad.

I don't know if you'll get OpenGL acceleration on each monitor with the GF4. On my own system with multiple Nvidia cards, I had OpenGL acceleration on each monitor with some driver versions, but most newer drivers didn't support it.
