First, let me say that I understand that this isn't really a Qt-specific question, but I thought it might be a good starting point to ask here to at least maybe get a pointer to a more applicable forum that might have an answer. So...
I am currently writing an application in Qt / DX9 for Windows that utilizes multiple monitors. One of the monitor outputs actually drives a special projection unit that displays patterns controlled by the program that have nothing to do with the user UI. This display area / "monitor" should never be part of the desktop. The problem with Windows is that there is no way to do this I know of - I verified this with someone I used to work with at MS that does most of their video rendering architecture.
I'm wondering if linux is somehow better about this - do you know if there is a way to have an extra "monitor" area you can draw on that is not part of the main desktop? That is, your mouse can't go over there, and no other application windows or output will go there ( or at least not unless done explicitly)?
Thanks,
Colby
