Is LWJGL capable of using two monitors? If not, will it be possible in a future version?

Yes, it works already, I believe, provided your monitors are set up to behave as a single virtual screen. On dualhead cards for example you would get resolutions like 1600*600 available.

Well, it used to work until we put in a bunch of other code to make some other stuff work... anyone able to test?

well, I do specifically ask for 800x600 though. When you do a getAvailableDisplayModes does it return wide resolutions? If it does, that means you've got dual monitors available.

If it helps any (not at home to test again), when running Nehe Tutorials and setting it for full-screen mode, it does span both of my monitors using the latest LWJGL. It's rather unnerving to run Tut 10 on 2 monitors, spanned monitors is teh evil for FPS stuff. :P

Seems ATI Radeon is incapable of spanning two monitors. Is there any way around this or should I just forget about it?
