Title: Issue with dual monitor configuration
Post by: Szpak on November 16, 2013, 01:20:36 am

Hi. I have small issue with UFOAI on my laptop with external monitor. When started in full screen mode game can:
 - span across two monitors (using virtual resolution of both screens)
 - be displayed on both screens in a mirror mode in the resolution of the smaller screen (after exit the game X resolution remains lower and has to restore manually)

Both cases doesn't look good. There is a workaround with temporarily disabling the second screen before the game, but maybe there is possible to configure UFOAI to use just one screen in requested resolution (in a full screen mode)?

My system configuration:
ASUS n43NS
Intel graphic card using i915 driver and presented as "Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller"
Fedora 19
Gnome 3

The trick with SDL_VIDEO_FULLSCREEN_HEAD=0 (http://ufoai.org/forum/index.php/topic,7931.msg60347.html#msg60347) helped.


I didn't find this post earlier as I was searching for "dual monitor" not "multi monitor"...
