i have a dell 19 1280x1024 and just got an acer 24 1900x1200 the dell is off to the right side and i can't get lfs set to run on both with out it being off center and all messed up looking. i tried softTH but i can't figure out the settings to get it to work in lfs, it just beeps and closes (my guess would be can't render graphics error) what im i missing here.

thank you for any and all help

gfx card is a evga gtx 260 (still waiting for my gtx 295 step up)

is it maybe cuz yer device id is -1 not 1?
i tried this prog yesterday and haven't gotten it to work yet either.

Maybe I'm missing something, but how exactly is it supposed to look even and non-stretched when you're using two different resolutions (especially with them having different aspect ratios too)?

It'll be fine - running a 22" Widescreen and 2 ordinary 17" with no problems. 24" should actually look better tbh.

i think the issue is he is trying to use two screens not three.
i have the same prob.

yea 2 not 3 and getting it to span both screens. i can get it to show the higher rez like 3000x 1200 and what not but when i select it it only shows on the 24 and its not even the whole 24. i have seen it done just can't get the settings right.

change the res on the right side?

I noticed this in the configuration script

" ;deviceIDLeft=-1"

That little ';' is to comment out the monitor. I think you want to leave that at -1 with out the commenting it out with ';' I remember once I setup my card to do two monitors and the side that I didn't want to show I set to -1.

I know there is a way to use nvidia's spanning too. If you did this, you could get a dll file from some where here on the forums to move the screen position so that you could look out one monitor normally, but on the left or right monitor would show the whole left side. That way you aren't stuck with the bezel's in the middle of your view.

**EDIT:

*Note that when you disable one side of the screen, the whole screen is still rendered, but you just don't output it to a VGA/DVI output.

i thought thats what i did when i did
secondaryWidth=1280
secondaryHeight=1024

i can't get it to use both monitors some times it flashes the little splash screen it has on the right side but nothing to do with the game

you are going to run into issues running 2 monitors with different resolutions.

have you seen this thread for correcting the FOV: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=13848 ?

how about no, yankee boy!

use a single monitor or 3 monitors, using 2 is just plain fuking stupid.

Why is using two "fuking stupid"?

What if your PC only supports one graphics card?

I agree dual monitors doesn't look as good as triple, but it still is an improvement on one. Especially if one monitor is widescreen, as this can overcome the "big line down the centre of the windshield" issue quite well. Although there are far better uses for the second monitor IMO

I've had 1, 2 & 3 monitors. 3 is better than 3, yes but 2 is still waaaay better than 2...

What exactly is your problem?
