Hi all,

I want to play (start) lfs or any other game on my second monitor (40" LCD TV). For any application it's no problem, I just can drag & drop them to the TV but for games it doesn't work. I just don't want to make the TV the primary display each time I wanna play a game... Is there any tool out there to make it possible or is it possible to tell LFS to start on the enhanced display?

In LFS, if you go to Display, and at the bottom, there should be "Display Adapter" or similar, you should be able to switch between the 2 devices.

A lot of games have a command line parameter for choosing the monitor. I've no idea which ones do and don't, but a lot have support for it. I used to use Ultramon though, in which you can choose the default monitor for full screen apps. My Nvidia software also allows me to choose which monitor to start full screen apps on

For LFS though, just Shift+F4 to go into non-fullscreen, move to the appropriate monitor, make it maximised, then Shift+F4 again.

If i do that, the fullscreen is displayed on the main monitor again. :haha: But Ultramon works fine! Thx!

Can't find something like that... not even similar.

Er...just have to try Ultramon then, I know that works

Go to LFS>Options>Graphics and click on the box (saying what graphics card it's using) and select the other one.

OT - z0mg been playing LFS for too long and never knew it did that!

... I think it's in graphics... I know that it's there, seeing if I hook my TV up to my Macbook Pro, I get that option.
