BUG: game runs across both monitors

[german]

I am using dual monitors , (on Nvidia 8800, Ubuntu)
The desktop spans across two monitors.
I need to be able to run the game on only one of them. , or, if you like in 50% width of the desktop, with rendering done in the left part.

you could always enable windowed mode..

FYI: every other program sees the monitors as they are, and maximizes to ONE of them. Taskbar and other gnome panels also respect the border between the monitors.

Also - your game stop the media-buttons from working, (Volume buttons are important..) - you should not need to grab all the keyboard input.

Please help - I would love to test, and purchase it.

I had this problem as well, you need to create single-monitor entries in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Here is mine that lets me play full screen games at 1024x768 or 1680x1050 on one of my screens (the important bit is the metamodes option under the second "Screen" section):

Code: (Select All)

remember your monitor HorizSync and VertRefresh will probably be different, if they're not already in the file you'll need to look up what they are.
