[osg-users] Slave camera configuration by config file

Yes, I've seen this too. On Windows (and I expect on Linux and OSX too) 
there's an API call you can make to get the actual offset of a screen, 
so you can detect how the screens are physically arranged (as long as 
the system's display properties are set correctly of course). We use 
this in our software to set up layouts like the one you want, and I was 
thinking of submitting a modification to osgViewer (probably 
GraphicsWindowWin32) to take this into account.

But yeah, if you can find a way to make a config file that will do it as 
you want, that will be a good solution. And simpler than autodetecting 
correctly :-)
