I ment the intell chip does not support 3d (gl) on two monitors when screen
size is bigger than 2048

I should admit the perl syntax is not one would understand easy, but once
you get used to it, it very easy to use it.
I'm not motivated to do anything in python, because where I work we have
only java and perl as an option besides of course shell.
I'll have a look at the panda stuff though it looks cute.
