Running a 21" and a 17" CRT, 21" as primary, people are major impressed when they see it spin to the login window on the big monitor, but it is *always* followed by a "why didn't that one do it too?"

Which has gotten me to think, why didn't the 17 one do it too? Its not an issue of hardware, I'm on a dual 2.0 G5 with a retail 9800 pro, it's gotta be software somewhere.

Who's got the hack?

TIA

I believe hacking this would require patching the window server, which is not generally a good idea (besides just being rather un-easy).

It would be nice, but I don't think it's a big deal...
