Re: Multi monitor on modern IntelHD/NVIDIA/AMD display adapter under DOS?

With modern display adapters such as Intel HD, NVIDIA, and AMD;
is it even possible for non primary monitor to display a text
video mode?

If it's possible, was there a driver/TSR which provide acces
to other monitor in multi-monitor setup? i.e. designed for use
by other program to specifically display things on non primary
monitor. Or a demo program which can use non primary monitor in
text video mode.

In a way, MS-DOS kind of had support for multi-monitors (2)
where you can flip between the two.

I had a B&W and a VGA and I was able to do this by using two
video boards.

Some Debuggers did support using 2 monitors.  Zortech c and
Microsoft 5.1 debuggers allowed for this.  The debugger would
show up on the B&W monitor where program output would show up
on the VGA.  This was on a 286.

So it was more up to the application as opposed to MS-DOS.
