Screen Saver Won't Span Dual Monitors

[Guest]

Using Vista Beta 2 and an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with WDDM drivers I have
monitors connect to the DVI and VGA ports. The VGA is an extended desktop
and the DVI is primary. When the screen saver activates it blanks my DVI
monitor and shows up fine on the VGA. Any idea how I can make the saver
appear on both screens? Power settings are all disabled.
Thanks,
SC

I have a question for you. Does the taskbar extend to the secondary monitor
too?
Vista was supposed to have this feature, without using a third party
application
(like the nvidia drivers that give this function or ultramon)

No, it does not.

try ultramon then www.ultramon.com it has options for having screensavers
on any monitor even different screensavers on each.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a way to do it within Vista itself..if there
is one.

xp

Wow - you know ALL of them work on both monitors EXCEPT the one I tried -
"Windows Energy". Strange. Thanks for the tip.

ohh yes.. that one probably needs some special technology.. I have not seen
it because I have vista on vmware
and it does not support hardware accelaration...

can you describe what its like?
