Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to do debugging on two pc's with one monitor for DirectX full screen apps ? I have a switch to switch the monitor from one pc to the other, I know you can do this with one pc and two adaptor cards and two monitors. Any info is very much appreciated. Steve

Yes, just use Remote Debugging. It could get a little annoying to switch between monitors after awhile, though [smile].

Thanks,

Guess it would be best with two adaptor cards and two monitors ?!

If you are considering upgrading to a higher-end card (ie ati 9600xt or 9800xt), they are usually dual-head cards. That means that you can connect to separate monitors to the same card. That is what I use right now.

Some card manufacturers (IIRC Matrox) even make triple- or quad-head cards.
