    Beta release: RoadRunner with dual monitor support

    Okay, I am not mean to double post, but the other is a feature request and this one is a release .

    Base on 03-06-06 code. I was able to keep video playing while navigating around roadrunner, Including GPS (except any audio player radio, xm, sirus, audio)

    Known problem: Embeded apps and switch skin.
    - Embeded app: Video seem to stay on top, you have to select RR from task bar again to avoid "black frame" around embeded app.

    - switch skin: While video playing, switch skin cause it to stop

    ok download here http://www.sonicxtacy.com/dualmon.rar . Thanks Sonicxtacy02 for hosting the file.

    Let me know if anything need to be iron out. I'll try to work it out, but will be slow cuz my VB skill is getting rusted.
    Read the include readme file for instruction.

    RR 4-6 with dual monitor support

    I think I get all the bugs iron out (except module that I don't use like radio, xm, sirus, tv).
    This is base on the latest RR release code (04-06-06).

    - Video (builtin) with XviD, Divx work wonderfull.
    - DVD, I test with a Dell version of PowerDVD and WinDVD by using either external_dvd.skin, windvd_player.skin and/or powerdvd_player.skin. Both apps play well with those skin files. I didn't really test with MPC cuz it seem to freeze my system. Not because of the modified code, but MPC doesn't seem to work for me.

    BUGS? none that I known off

    Let me know if you guys still interest in this feature.
    Sonicxtacy02 can you host the file?

    I think this is an excellent feature for Roadrunner. Has anyone mentioned this feature to Guino? I am running an EPIA SP13000 and am trying to maintain maximum functionality between my VGA feed (to operate the system) and the RCA feed that is being routed to three LCD monitors via a video amplifier. So far, I have had some frustrations with windows reacting to some programs. But if dual monitor support can be imbedded RR, that would be a victory.

    Send to your gmail addy. Rename rr.exe.txt back to rr.exe.

    To use this feature, make sure you add usedualmon=true to rr.in file, otherwise, the apps will work as offical release.

    Little OT.
    This is the app I run on the 2nd (composite) monitor for the rear passengers so they don't bother me with "are we there yet".

    I have posted the RR changes with remarks to the modules I made in the first post of my thread which can be added to his if he would like.
