Multiple Screen Support

[Somian]

Hi
Somewhere i read about the capability of LFS to use Multiple Screens. Well, i've got two screens, but i can't find any option to do so in LFS. In Microsoft Flight Simulator i would make a new "window" and drag it to the second screen. but in live for Speed there are no Windows, and i wonder, how to create a two-screen-arrangement. I want the main Screen (Dell 2407WFP, 1920x1200)to simulate the normal view in the game, and the second screen (ADI Microsocan A715, 1280x1024) to simulate the left side window of the car. maybe i would buy a licence then. :) thank you, all!

If it's a nVidia graphics card you should try nView. It allows you to split your screen across two monitors (or more?), clone or dualview which gives you an extra screen. Split screen should work for what you need it for.

I don't know the alternative for ATI cards but it can't be much different.

this is also available in ATi but the screens need to have the same height

nView allows you to change the resolutions of each screen your using. Would've thought ATi would have something similar.

With ATi you can merged the screens and create one large resolution display (as Windows sees it). For example I can run 3200x1200 and then fullscreen apps and 3D games utilise both screens fine. But, both monitors have to run at the same resolution. With different native resolutions, and even different aspect ratios, I think you're out of luck if you've an ATI graphics card.

i just tested it. it works, but i have the borders of the screens in the middle of my field of view (stupid) and bothscreens are set tio 1280x1024 (=()
