I’m using 2 graphic cards in 1 PC to drive 2 displays. Initially installed Nvidia 6.18 drivers and enabled Advmon option which gave me OpenGL 3d acceleration on both displays using Maya3. Worked great for one day. Next day Maya crashed so I tried 12.40 drivers and reinstalled Maya and suddenly had OpenGL on only one display. I have gone back to past drivers but still only get OpenGL on whichever display I choose as primary. Secondary display works fine for standard apps but Maya3 needs OpenGL to function on both. Win2000, OpenGL and Nvidia’s drivers all support OpenGL windows spanning multiple monitors using similar chipsets and one ICD driver.(follow links below!) Is it a issue within Maya? Is there a registry setting that impacts Advmon? I had it working before….. how do I get it working again?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have tried the following drivers:
Inno3D- 6.49, 6.50, 6.18
Nvidia- 6.18, 6.31, 6.47, 6.50, 7.91, 10.80, 12.20, 12.40
AliasWavefront certified- 6.46
Have run nvcleaner before each install and enabled Advmon in each driver.
Nvidia’s 10.80 seems the best. Runs Maya3 great on one display….why not two?

Try the new 12.41 drivers, they support multimon OpenGL as well, and any existing Nvidia files should be replaced by the new ones.

I down loaded the 12.41 drivers from nvidia the day they came out. Cleaned out the old, installed the new. Finally... OpenGL accelerated windows again across both displays! Gave Maya a run for about a day... very unstable. Kept freezing under different conditions. It appears either nvidias implementation of the advanced multimon is shaky or Maya3 has trouble writing to such windows. I even went out and bought a matching APG Geforce2 MX400 to rule out chip incompatibility. Still had no dual monitor acceleration on both displays using old drivers. The 12.41 drivers do work for dual monitor acceleration but if my main application wont run then I can't use them. I'm back to the 10.80 drivers until I can find a solution. I’ve posted on a Maya site but as of yet no response. Maybe dual setups aren’t so common. Any other experiences with Maya3 and duels out there?

try the following:
right-click on your desktop and choose "properties"
and set off your second monitor.
start maya3 with your main monitor.
after loading right-click on your
desktop again and turn on your second
monitor. better now?
