Fullscreen and multiple monitors

Rate this Message:
On the same day, I got asked a similar question about Tux Paint and dual monitors and fullscreen mode. One by someone using Linux, the other Windows: I just got a second monitor and use Twinview from the Linux Nvidia control panel. I found that Tux paint won't work correctly in full screen anymore. The application is shifted half off the second monitor and you have to move the mouse several centimetres to the left to click on the buttons. and: I have a wacom touchscreen connected as a second monitor to my machine ... I want to run tux paint on that monitor as a default when i start the app ... and i want it to start full screen ... is there a command line option or anything i can do to make it start full sceen on a secondary display in windows 7? What do I tell these folks? (Even if it's "it won't work".) Thanks! -- -bill!

It may not work at this point. I'm planning a full review of
fullscreen support in SDL 1.3 in the next 3 weeks or so. See ya!

Ok, in the meantime I'm just telling people "tough luck, unless someone figures out a work-around, in which case I'll pass it along". :) -bill! _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list SDL@... http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org |

Well, maybe on Linux, but what about the problem on Windows XP? :) -- -bill!

Tuxpaint --fullscreen expands to fill one of the monitors, but not both. FYI -- -bill!

This is by design. You hardly ever want a fullscreen window broken
apart across multiple monitors, at least by default. I think you can disable this awareness by setting the SDL_VIDEO_X11_XINERAMA environment variable to 0. See ya!

This could be used for a video wall. I agree that setting it as
default would be crazy, though, since you can just set the environment variable. Assuming Sam is right (and when isn't he?), you'd probably change something around either line 186 or line 354 of SDL_x11modes.c if you really were feeling crazy...

One way to get TuxPaint across both screens maybe to use a borderless window, that sits X=0, Y=0 and then arrange both your monitors accordingly. Through the borderless window, it would look like fullscreen. CU _______________________________________________ SDL mailing list SDL@... http://lists.libsdl.org/listinfo.cgi/sdl-libsdl.org |

Again, not that I'm (currently) looking into doing anything like this, but... what about taskbars & such? -- -bill!
