wine users - Mar 2010 - 2 screens and fullscreen games

Hi,

I have 2 screens ( 1920 x 1080 & 1280 x 1024 ) and everytime i start my game
( jedi knight 2 - quake 3 engine ) my second screen gets disabled.

wine 1.1.41
ubuntu 10.04 lucid beta 1

It's a workaround, but you could enable a virtual desktop in winecfg. The
game won't be completely fullscreen, but it won't mess with your screen
settings either.

Turning the second screen back on through a tool like lrandr after having
started the game works too.

This is more of a video driver related problem than a Wine one, though. If your
driver comes with a settings tool (think the ATI Catalyst Control Center for
example), open it and see if you can find a way to always keep the second screen
enabled.

okey that would work fine thank you BUT

the virtual screen is always starting on my left screen instead of my right, can
this be done, too?

Where your applications start is really something determined by your window
manager. The behaviour can be set up in the most popular window managers, though
(Gnome, KDE, Xfce).
