Concerning the first new feature: Multi-monitor support.
A graphics card that has a separate monitor connected to should be indicated by "DISPLAYCHAIN=NO" in the monitor driver tool types. P96 will then keep this monitor on, even if the active screen is switched away to another screen.
This now also works for the native output (which did not work before). Thus, if you switch the output from native video away to an RTG output that is not in the "display chain", the native output remains on.
Thus, the "display chain" is the list of RGB outputs that go from the native video output, to the VGA switches of one or more graphic cards, to the final monitor:
chipset->graphics card a->graphics card b->monitor
In this setup, both graphics cards are "in the display chain" and should have "DISPLAYCHAIN=YES" set.
If graphics card a has a separate monitor as such:
chipset->graphics card b->monitor 1
graphics card a->monitor 2
then graphics card a "is not in the display chain", and the monitor icon for the card should have the tooltype "DISPLAYCHAIN=NO" included to inform P96 about this.
Now, if the frontmost screen switches from "native" or "grahics card b" to "graphics card a", the screen on monitor 1 remains on, but the mouse pointer vanishes there, and appears on monitor 2 and its "graphics card b" screen.
The only thing that did not work in this setup is that the native output always vanished when the active screen was switched away from it. This monitor then remained blank.
