two screens, two refresh rates: timing?

[Peter Quain]

can you get a signal on both monitors? I thought that in clone mode, 
the same video frames in the video memory are output to two displays, 
hence the resolutions and refresh rate must the same. Perhaps you can 
use two displays of different resolutions/refresh rates in "extended" 
desktop mode?? But this has nothing to do with e-prime, display 
constraints are determined by the graphics card / drivers, I think. 
Or have you got a special graphics card with driver settings for two 
seperately configured displays? I don't know how e-prime would respond to this?

Otherwise, if you are in clone mode and  getting a signal on both 
monitors than my guess is that the graphics drivers are throttling 
the refresh and resolution of both monitors  to the lowest values 
across the monitors. Just my guess.
