VICE bug (?) - Screen not refreshing on secondary monitor

I have this issue with the screen not refreshing on the secondary monitor. Is it a known bug? Is there a solution?

CRT in comparison to TFT is always the best solution to view full screen as the resolution is not fixed like in a TFT display

You can interpolate and stretch the c64 output on a tft and then apply pal emulation on this modified layer but would look less authentic

Yes. 800x600 seems a good resolution to use on a CRT

If using a TFT display, may as well just display it on a window (besides most laptops have widescreen displays now hence would still get gaps on the edges.

I have implemented a DirectX9 driver with free window scaling and real fullscreen. And secondary monitor should also work.
If you can compile Win32 binary, you can checkout at sf and have a try (be warned that there are some sound driver issues in the trunk right now that I'm writing this message).

Any time frame for a release of the driver & secondard monitor fix? I have the same problem with multiple monitors on xp and now windows 7. Also on 7 the screens go blank as vice starts up

Thanks.
