Hello ... I have recently stumbled into dexpot, and I'd have to say I'm impressed. I've been using another desktop manager - one that has fewer features and requires me to have admin priviledges - so, with dexpot, I can use a manager even though I don't have admin rights. Very nice.
My question relates to why I stumbled into dexpot (as I wasn't actually looking for a desktop manager). I would like two 'virtual screens' side-by-side in a class room situation, in an environment with 1 data projector (and a PC with either 1 or 2 video cards). So, for instance, a powerpoint (in second-monitor, presenter view) and a browser showing a twitter feed - side-by-side. Similar to the "preview" mode, only interactive.
Is this functionality available to me in dexpot? Or is someone willing/able to point me in the direction of any software which might help? A windows manager will not do the trick - what I am hoping to find is something which will take a single video card and make it into 2 (or potentially more) 'virtual' video cards, in ways that the windows (control panel) display manager 'knows about'.
Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks.
