Q3 Bumping across dual displays?

Post by **Foo** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 5:19 pm

Got a dual monitor setup now (very nice.. 19inch TFT and 17inch high quality CRT).

The TFT is the first display (left) and the CRT is on the second DVI connector on my card (6600). Q3 starts up on the TFT and I want it to start up on the CRT. I gots no idea how to make it switch.

I've tried specifying the monitor quake3.exe should initialise in with nView, but it doesn't do shit

Any ideas? I can manually swap the order on the graphics card as a last resort, but having the TFT on the first connector seems 'right' for everything else.

Can you just switch the monitor connectors to make the one you want the primary display for Q3?

I really didn't want to do that since for all other purposes the LCD really is my primary display and the CRT is secondary.

I've found the solution, it's setting the windows regular 'primary' display to the second monitor. The drawback is most stuff will now spawn initially on the CRT, but I guess I can put up with that.

I can finally pull 800*600@120Hz in quake without giving up my LCD \o/

Make the CRT your primary display and it will go to that screen,

that is the only way i know of.
