Hi
I am trying to setup 2 monitors with LFS.
It works in windowed mode when I simply resize the LFS window across both screens:

But when switching to fullscreen (shift+f4), the second screen just shows the windows desktop and LFS gets cramped into the other.

monitors: two 1280x1024 TFTs (same type)
connected with a "Y-cable" to
graphic card: ATI x1300
OS: windows vista

With one monitor in fullscreen LFS gets 100 fps, 2 monitors in windowed gets ~20. Other problem is, the playerlist,trackmap etc is now in the middle of screen instead of to the right. So real fullscreen would be better I think.

Despite the problems it feels quite fun already, so any hints are welcome

you need some program to make LFS work in dual screen, cant remember name... :S its somewhere on forum

software tripplehead?

I only found it mentioned in old threads so thought maybe LFS has build-in support now? But testing it now..



Hm.I placed the softTH files next to lfs.exe and now lfs will not start.
It shows up in taskmanager but nowhere on screen. Time to read softTH website...Deleted card_cfg.txt and cfg.txt but no change.

Btw I switched the windows theme to "classic", disabled "window decoration" (not sure about english name) for LFS and now get 40-50 fps.

think this program, worked for me before

do you happen to still have your SoftTH.cfg file?
i think you can attach to forum or upload here: http://pastebin.com/

i dont have dual screen for over 2 years

I would also ne interested to know the solution. I'm trying to run a dual screen setup, but it doesn't seem to do anything..

Materials:
Video: 8800 GT
1 monitor 1920x1080 to DVI + 1 monitor 1680x1050 to VGA
nVidia driver 295.73 (tried also with 296.10)
DirectX up-to-date
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

Tried both x86 and x64 versions of SoftTH.. not working with LFS
Running perfect in rFactor though..

Any ideas, please ?
