Hi,
In LFS settings I chose by accident the wrong number of monitors (2-1-1) at the multi monitor setup so my view is now pointing away from the menu so I can't see it on my screen and restore it.

In what LFS configuration file are the number of monitors stored on patch Z25?


EDIT: This problem is in full screen mode and going to windowed mode don't help me as these two modes have different settings.

I would like to have the full screen multi monitor setting of 1 left, 1 middle and 1 right monitor.

You can change them back. You can change the 2-1-1 to 0-1-0 or any other setting you'd like. Just press the 2, 1 or the other 1, and you can enter any numer you like from 0 to 5.

I hope I've helped you enough with this

My problem is that the filelds where i write these settings are outside my monitor so I can't change them.

You don't see them or you can't click on them?

Both I think. If you can't see them, it's hard to try and click on them unless your mouse pointer is allowed to go off the screen.

Is there anything in cfg.txt relating to the setup?

A picture says more than a 100 words.

First pic is LFS in windowed mode,
second pic is LFS in full screen mode.

As you see in the second picture the view is pointing to the right and the menu is on the left outside my screen.

I can't see them as they are outside my screen.

The menu shouldn't go off screen in any case though. Even if you set more monitors than you have LFS is still rendered with the same resolution and everything should be visible.

Oh you are using SoftTH without the third monitor? I now understand your problem.

Correct, forgot to mention that.

The setting does not seem to be in cfg.txt

It's in data/misc/views.bin, but thats a binary file so you can't edit it outside LFS.
Your only option is to delete that file and LFS will create a new one. You will have to redo all the customization to your views.

Go to windowed mode, make the window a bit smaller (half your monitor's height) and stretch it across the two monitors. LFS should then go in its 3-monitor-display mode and you should be able to click & reset the options again.


E: Besides that, can't you simply set SoftTH to two-monitor mode? The new multi-monitor support in LFS allows you to have one monitor as the centre view and one to look to the side without having to trick it by using three-monitor mode.

SoftTH doesn't support that.

Hehe, silly me, guess SoftTripleHead wasn't meant for that :doh:

I renamed views.bin and started LFS and voila i'm back so I have the menu on screen. But then my computer started to crash when I changed from windowed to full screen view in LFS so I better slow down with my experimenting.

A BIG thank you to geeman1 and all of you guys helping me out.

Have the same problem, when I use the SoftTH and go to windowed mode it crashes aswell. When I use the resolution to get it on the 3 screens, I can't click anything or i can click but it responds very slowly.

I'm going to try some config files for softTH tonight but i'm guessing the worst...
