on suspending or exiting
when WinXP SP2 is on on the secondary screen
mac OS 10.4.8
kernelDarwin 8.8.1
there is some garbage written to the front window remaining on the primary screen
1)
if a finder file structure window it moves from the chosen folder to the desktop
clicking the back button restores the original file I was browsing (eg a reminder of work to be done)
2)
others sometimes show a rectangular pattern of squares and rectangles
like the crashes / freezes of of 10 years ago
this is cosmetic
to do with a portion of the screen failing to redraw until another window is dragged over it
ATY,RadeonX1600 chip set
==
in Coherence mode the display is better
Windows Live Today window is OK now (bug fixed)
looks impressive upper Cinema HD screen
with Windows task bar at the bottom
lower MacBook Pro screen
with menu bar at the top
(dock hidden to the left)
=============
when dragging a Mac OS window it appears on either screen equally well
but when dragging a cohenrence mode window down
it goes off the top screen behind the task bar
but fails to appear on the lower "main screen"
======
just checked if Parallels OS Window is on the lower (main laptop screen)
I cannot drag a coherence mode aplication window to the upper screen
i think this is a win XP issue to see multiscreens
it needs another driver (parallels 3 wish list ?)
