[SOLVED] How to specify fullscreen monitor?

Postby dg-505 » Sat Mar 18, 2017 10:36 am

Hi :)

following situation:
I have three monitors, two big of the same type and one smaller:

Now, when I press F10 to go to Fullscreen mode, FG always goes fullscreen on the very left display, no matter where the window has been before.

Is there a way to determine the display where FG goes fullscreen, or is that an Ubunt-specific issue?

Thanks in advance

Does no one have any idea? :?

Or is this just not fix-able? :wink:

I'm guessing the graphics driver manages that.

Name the following code my_prefs.xml

Then start Fg with --config=c:/Users/505/Documents/FlightGear/my_prefs.xml (or whatever path its in)

Modify <screen> to what monitor you want it on.

Code: Select all
<sim>
  <rendering>
    <camera-group>
        <window>
            <name>505FG</name>
            <display>0</display><!-- graphics card no. 1 -->
            <screen>1</screen><!-- monitor no. 2 -->
            <fullscreen>1</fullscreen>
            <decoration>0</decoration>
            <x>0</x>
            <y>0</y>
            <host-name type="string"></host-name>
            <width>500</width>
            <height>500</height>
        </window>
        <camera>
          <window>
            <name>505FG</name>
          </window>
        </camera>
        <gui>
        <window>
          <name type="string">505FG</name>
        </window>
      </gui>
    </camera-group>
  </rendering>
</sim>

Well, I was a fool....... :roll:
I just had to set the center monitor as the primary monitor (in the NVidia X Server application)

Anyway, thanks for your help :D (Thorsten, your hint gave me the decisive idea)
