Using 2nd display set-up. Works fine on start-up and when waking up from screen saver.

But, if machine goes "to sleep" (i.e. displays turn off but machine still running) when it wakes up, I can only see the cursor on the main display. I know that the cursor still makes it to the other display because as I move the mouse around the "invisible" cursor highlights buttons etc...on the second display.

If I restart the machine, all is OK, but this is the only way to fix it I have found.

Help?

Try turning that monitor off and back on again by hitting it's power button.
