[MeeGo-touch-dev] [MeeGo-dev] how to support multiple displays in MeeGo? (HDMI and primary display have different content)

[Zhao, Halley]

Thanks Tomas.
Is there any examples to have multi-windows for MeeGo touch application?
I think video playback on HDMI is done by moving windows inside virtual screen; just move it to a region of virtual screen which map to HDMI output, right?
Does mcompositor aware virtual screen now?

Yes, but note that each window of the application will be separately 
visible as a thumbnail in the task switcher.

The window manager does not currently handle the second screen. This 
still allows for example dedicating the second screen to a fullscreen 
video, it's just not going to be managed by the WM.
