External Display feature testing in Emulator JBMR1

Question

I have downloaded Jelly Bean MR1 SDK in eclipse and wanted to see External Display feature. In Emulator,

I enabled Secondary display in "Simulate secondary displays" feature in Development Settings => It created Overlay #1
I used the API Demo->App->Activity->Presentation , but Only "Display # 0 , Built in Screen" is showing up. Overlay is shown but nothing is rendered in that. Ideally, I expected images to come in Overlay.

How to test this External Display(Presentation Class) feature in emulator .. Please help.

Thanks and regards Purush

Hi Purush, I am having the same issue, have you got any workaround for this? Thanks! — Sasha Nikolic, Jan 10 '13 at 14:37

Found the solution, you need to enable graphics acceleration when starting the emulator, so just pass "-gpu on" when calling emulator.
