SoftTH, secondary screens only show SoftTH logo
Hi,

My setup:

AMD Athlon3200+ (2Ghz,ClawHammer)
1,5 GB DDR-333 (oh would I love to get some DDR-400)
Asus X800 Pro @ speeds beyond X850XT:PE, yet only 12 pipelines
Maxtrox Millenium II for the 3rth screen but should be for 3D rendering..

24" (1920×1200) Samsung SyncMaster 245B
2×17" CRT's prev. on 1024×768 @ 85 Hz, anything lower will make my brain feel like bursting..

The problem:
Config should be alright, I see the screen options but I can't get it to work, the resolution changes but I only see the SoftTH Logo on the secondary screens..

Anyone experienced this before?

Yeah, I had this problem. I can't remember how I solved it.

Try commenting out either the left or right display (whichever is on the secondary card) form the .cfg file. Perhaps that will do the trick. Weird but I think that helped for me.

post your cfg file, i have it working on 3 monitors so maybe i can compare it with mine

have you actually selected the new resolution in game?

edit: here's my cfg file

; secondaryWidth/Height: Left/right monitor resolution, set to -1 to use same as middle screen resolution
; secondaryRefresh: Refresh rate of left/right monitors
; secondary16bpp: Use 16bit colour in left and right monitors, this cuts the required bandwidth in half
; antialiasing: Level on anti-aliasing, use this instead of driver enforced setting
; anisotropic: Level of anisotropic filtering, you can also use driver enforced setting
; borderSize: Size of frame border between monitors that is discarded
; useMultihead: Uses multihead features of primary card if available, can increase performance and reduce memory use

; forceResolutionWidth/Height: Forces device to be created with this resolution
; cylindicalCorretionAngle: Amount of cylindrical correction done, use with sideExtraWidth
; hideNondefaultDevices: Hides all but the default adapter from the game
; sleepBeforeRead: Time in ms to sleep before reading back buffer data from video card
; delayedPresent: When useMultihead enabled, delay primary monitor present to sync with secondary head
; swapOrder: Swap order at which the frame contents are copied
; noHotkeys: Set 1 to disable all hotkeys
