Bug+Fix: Dual-Monitors == Garbled Textures

This is probably a video-card specific issue, but on a Radeon 9000 Pro 64 MB, I was seeing garbled textures in the Appearance Editor.

Clearing cache, up/downgrading drivers, didn't fix it. Only until I moved SL to the main display did the problem go away.

When using dual monitors, video memory is split in half to each display. SL or the driver must have been trying to address the first 32 MB and not realizing it was running on a second display.

Hope this helps someone.

hmm this might be related to mine then. I am running dual monitors and game runs on one screen. I am getting bad text after a while along with other issues.

Just incase.
