Putting (server-start) in your .emacs is most of the time not the same
as using
emacs -Q -f server-start&
so please try that, and even better, please try what Stefan asked:
Actually, can you just try it without any emacsclient/server?
I.e. start Emacs on one of the screens, then do
M-x make-frame-on-display and specify the other display.
Make sure that you use
emacs -Q&
when trying the above.
Thanks
