Primary Monitor , Secondary Monitor and Mouse

NTDEV
1

Dear All,
When we have a dual-monitor combination, does it mean that the
system has twice the resolution , ie, (800X600)+(800X600) = (1600X600) ?.

And how does it affect port drivers for mouse. Should the secondary montior
give the (x,y) with added offsets of the primary one?

cheers
Sesha.

Just report info as you normally would and the system will take care of
it. If you are an absolute pointing device, keep on providing data in
abs coords from 0x0 to 0xFFFF; if you are a relative device, just
provide X/Y deltas.

If you want to map an absolute pointing device to just one monitor, the
system can’t do that natively. If you wanted to do this, you would have
to engineer this on your own.
