New GL won't work.
Multimonitor setups only have OpenGL/Direct3d enabled on the primary monitor - don't ask me why. I believe some special-purpose hardware can get around this issue.
And though you hold the keys to ruin of everything I see/With every prison blown to dust, my enemies walk free/Though all the kingdoms turn to sand and fall into the sea/ I'm mad about you I'm mad about you

New That is a limitation....
On Windows...

And yes it takes Specially made hardware to do that.

Specifically, Windows can't handle Different timing from different busses at the same time.

BUt, if you had all PCI Video Cards, I do believe it theoretically do that.

Also Theoretically you could enable OpenGL/Direct3D on the other monitors ... but the interface for it is removed... I am sure the Registry still has the entries for it.

I've not seen any indication that would lead me to believe that I could say that.
