I've got my gaming rig setup with dual monitors. I'm using a Geforce 7800 GS (AGP). It has 3 outputs. I'm using the VGA output to send the signal to an NEC Optiplex 90gx2. In WinXP's display properties I've set this to be my primary monitor. The DVI output I've got running to a Samsung LCD tv, which I use to do all my gaming. I've set the display properties so that the desktop is extended onto the Samsung.
Now, here is my problem: If I set LFS to use the primary adapter, it launches on the NEC. I then window LFS and drag it over to my Samsung to play. This doesn't work so well, because I only get 20-25 fps. Normally I'll get around 90fps.
If I set LFS to use the secondary adapter, it launches on the Samsung, and automatically goes into full screen mode (No Window). I cannot use shift+F4 to go into windowed mode. LFS give an error message saying "Can't go to window - not using primary monitor".
Now, this is troublesome for me because any time I need to stop playing to do something, say check LFSWorld or answer an email, LFS will automatically minimize to the menu bar. I would like it to stay maximized and visible on my Samsung while I work on my NEC, so I can check in on what is happening within LFS. Obviously I can't do this while it isn't in windowed mode.
I understand why this is happening, my question is this: Can this be corrected within LFS or is this a Windows control thing that is beyond the game's control? Should I log this in the bug forum?
