Fullscreen and secondary display

[Tobias]

During beta-testing of Mad Skills Motocross the following were pointed out:

* Fullscreen always uses first display device, can't use it on second
* Fullscreen changes resolution of secondary display device, causing it to resize windows

Any ideas?

Renanse of jME said that "Maybe the lwjgl folks have some ideas?  I notice that if I use the JOGL renderer in full screen, it does not resize my other windows."

fullscreen uses the primary display. yes.
I'll check the other thing tomorrow

Just tested this on a 2 adapter system with 3 monitors [3][1][2], where 1 is ATI and 2+3 is Matrox.
Fullscreen always show up on the primary screen - regardless of the position of the initial window (if applicattion starts in windows mode).
When entering fullscreen mode, all windows on that screen gets moved a bit, if the fullscreen resolution is lower than the original screen. No other windows change size - they do move position though.

In my case, the download window from firefox with the jnlp for FullScreenWindowedTest (http://lwjgl.org/demos.php) gets moved from [1] to [2] when I enter fullscreen. Once I return, the window gets moved to the edge of [2], as close to [1] as possible - but never back to its original position.

If the download window is NOT in [1], then it gets shifted a bit to the right (presumably orig-resolution minus new-resolution in width) - nut never out of the screen of [2].

edit - some of the windows DID get moved outside of [2] - but their size was kept.

Thanks.

Does the resolution of [2] and/or [3] change during the time that [1] is fullscreen with changed resolution?

Excellent, thanks for taking the time.
