I thought that it might be cool to be able to have each player have his own screen for those of us with duel monitors, is that possible?

Not really, but you can try using this to play at the same time.

You can do it with window mode and drag the window wide enough, so one half is on one and the other on the other screen. Easy workaround.

open your fretsonfire.ini :
fullscreen = false
resolution = (Xscreen1 + Xscreen2) x Y screen1
i.e : 2304 x 800
And test...
the first screens of the game will not be ok but the screen with the neck maybe yes :)

Yup, he's right, in Supreme Commander you can use dual screen to have one screen on your base and one in attack for example :p

But I don't think that your idea will work mikpige... It will double the horizontal size of one of the monitor, but won't show up on the second...

Good thing is the monitors don't have to be close to each other :D
