1.8/10 on a Dell Latitude laptop.

Did anyone else have difficulty getting it to work on a multi-monitor setup? It gave me an error about trying to find the reference image and suggested I switch monitors, but that didn't work. I finally had to disconnect my secondary monitor altogether before it would work.

(benchmark author here) Interesting. I will have to do more testing on Windows multi-monitor setups. I would not be surprised to learn that it's broken.

If it helps at all, I'm on Windows 7 with my laptop screen as my primary monitor and an LCD screen to the left as my secondary.

I was initially in Win7's "enhanced graphics" mode (can't remember actual feature name) but when I tried to run the benchmark I was thrown into Basic mode. I had a fair amount of other applications running, though, so I may have just run out of memory.

Being thrown into Basic mode is unfortunately expected. I'll bet the reason it didn't work is having the secondary monitor on the left. I think I only tested it with the secondary monitor on the right.

Multiple monitors. Windows 7. Just got a black screen in both IE9 and Chrome Canary.
