A question from the Russian LFS forum:
-----------------------------------------------
I have connected to my PC a monitor and a TV set (via DVI). The tv set works as desktop extension, and in WV, mouse can go between the screens. When I run a game in full-screeen mode, mouse locks within the main screen and doesn't leave it.
The problem. In WinXP, everything was ok with LFS in fullscreen mode, and mouse locked in it.
In WV, LFS doesn't clip mouse within the main screen, and the cursor can cross to the second one. So, if I occasionally move cursor beyond the main screen and click, LFS minimises. I drive with mouse, and when I click there in the second screen, the game minimizes, and it has the same result as Alt+Tab, no need to explain.
Additional info:
In WinXP there was no such problem.
In WV it is only with LFS, not with other games.
It can be cured by turning off the second monitor in the driver. Videocard is Radeon x1950xtx. I used all the drivers' versions available, including those pre-installed in Vista.
I'd like someone who knows English to let the devs know about this.
P.S. Please, do not advise me to revert to WinXP/2K/9x.
