Correct. And I'm not using a no-multilib profile, either. |

I haven't run a dual-card setup. I have two systems I can relate to. |
| 26 |
One is a dual-E5345 system with 10GB of RAM, and one is a Phenom 9650 |
| 27 |
with 8GB of RAM. |

I haven't run a multimon setup in a while. I sacrificed one of my |
| 36 |
displays as a debugging display for another machine. |

What driver are you using? About 3 years ago, I had a setup going |
| 39 |
where I was using both my onboard ATI RadeonHD3200 and an nVidia |
| 40 |
GeForce 210 with five displays split across the two. Flash never |
| 41 |
*crashed* on me, but it did get extraordinarily confused whenever it |
| 42 |
came time to fullscreen. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
(I did eventually switch to using an ATI Radeon 5770, but only because |
| 45 |
of the headaches trying to manage things with two different |
| 46 |
proprietary tools. You could do some scary stuff at the time. I don't |
| 47 |
know if that's still possible. I'm certain I was running an |
| 48 |
unsupported configuration...) |

I'd bet on it being a driver issue. |
