I don't think it can be done in Irrlicht 1.7. But it might work in Irrlicht trunk (you have to get it from svn and compile the lib) which allows setting DisplayAdapter in SIrrlichtCreationParameters when creating a device with createDeviceEx. We coded that for multiple graphic cards in a system, but I think multiple monitors addressed by a single graphic-card might also be addressed by those adapters. So just try setting that to another value than 0 (1 probably...).

thanks, I was thinking of adding local multiplayer to my game, something like split screen if there is only one monitor, and if there are two monitors the possibility for each player to use their own monitor.
