Multi-screen problem

so I have 2 22" screens, I'm playing LFS in window mode (since from what I remembered, vista does not support screen spanning) I configured the screens, center and 1 left, 33-ish deg angle (screen is at that angle) 90 deg FOV I think.

Now my problem is that when I play the objects in the 2nd screen are all too big, the FOV is messed and I don't know how to change it


here is a SS:

This is how the dash looks like when I look on Screen 1 (main)

and when I look to the right, this is how the dash looks on Screen 2 (left screen, with weird POV)

Anyone know if this is fixable?

Edit: well, seems like if I want a FOV of 90 to match my main screen I need to use the side screen angle of 90 deg. Kinda weird on the eyes since the 2 screens are close

there's also the Nvidia ones. You need 120Hz Refresh rate. CRT's are fine but since LCD's are stuck at 60Hz you will need to get a new LCD that's able to do 120Hz, just make sure its compatible with the 3D vision thing. From what I have been reading about it, it seems as if its pretty good goggles. I don't know how they well they do with LFS since not all games can do it.

I tried the free iZ3D with the Red/Cyan in World of Warcraft a couple months back. Works rather well but it lacks colours, probably because I was using their free drivers.

I got that too (more like "Output not supported or something along those lines) when I move a full screen game from one Monitor to my TV. TV's are really, really picky about the in-game resolution. I fixed it by putting it to the correct resolution for my screen seize.
Also playing in windowed mode works

Quote from bunder9999 :providing you're using an nvidia video card...

So true, took me more time trying to install the awful ATI drivers on my linux box then my Nvidia.

Got it working though, heck I know a friend who plays WOW (wow crashes randomly in window's) and all his other PC gaming in Wine.

*waves* HI.
I just started playing LFS. Still got a demo license but will probably upgrade (90% chance of yes). I got a Driving Force GT for my PS3 and it works well for this game. While I like playing online, I'm a horrible driver with the occasional oops did not brake soon enough :doh: but I am getting better. Been playing more offline since I got the wheel
