Comment (by X512):

 Replying to [ticket:8612 kallisti5]:
 > The following hooks need a multi-monitor parameter (ex: uint8 display):
 Why not just introduce hook like B_SET_ACTIVE_DYSPLAY and apply all
 dysplay commands to active dysplay? Default active display is primary
 display for compatability.

 > This is definitely a post-R1 enhancement as it would break binary
 compatibility with existing Be drivers and would be a big task introducing
 potential bugs.
 It is possible to have two kinds of drivers, isn't it?
