I'm running three monitors off of my video card. UltraMon lets me set different screensavers for each monitor.

Can I display screensavers from different projects on each monitor? For example, have the SETI screensaver on my main monitor, Rosetta@Home screensaver on my second monitor and the Einstein@Home screensaver on my third monitor?

No, not with any of the present clients, and in my opinion not with the present OpenGL that the graphics/screen savers use. Well, not unless you have multiple videocards, or one videocard with multiple RAMDACs, one for each video-outlet.

But as you can see from this FAQ, it's been asked before and the developers are looking into things. Can't set a date, though.
