There is, but by and large, Emacs will see them as a single large desktop. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145071%28v=vs.85%29.aspx (We don't support the "independent monitors" mode mentioned there.) In any case, "multiple monitors" and "multiple displays" are 2 different issues. Each display can have multiple monitors. > I was not able to find out how to obtain info about which monitor > is being used to show a particular frame The functions you mentioned provide that info, or maybe I don't understand what info are you looking for.q > how to specify which monitor to use to display a particular frame. You can't. > The symptom reported was that by modifying a frame's parameters > to restore its previous values of `top', `left', `width' and > `height', the frame got moved to another monitor, for some > reason. Probably because the pixel coordinates mapped to that other monitor, the URL above explains that, among other things.
