Does anyone know of a way to use miltiple monitors with blitz/directx/>?

I think that's more a Windows related question. You see when using dual monitors, Windows allows you to set the behaviour of apps as to which monitor to use for each app. Therefore I don't think it's something you can control in your program. But I could be wrong, although Blitz does not have commands for it.

You can only use one monitor at a time with one blitz program. This means if you spend ages regonfiguring the system to use one "big" screen, you can use "one" big display that spans more than one monitor, though this is certainly not a common setup. It is much more normal to have different graphics drivers for each screen - this means you select "graphics driver 1" for one, "graphics driver 2" for another, and "graphics driver 0" for default. If you want to select TWO drivers, you will need to write two programs using two different drivers that communicate (probably with a TCP stream)
