Hello, first post, after reading many threads, etc., I got Ubuntu installed and figured out a fancontrol script, modified the xorg.conf file for dual monitors, and now installed UT2004 last night. I have no linux experience and have only been dabbling in Ubuntu recently.
Anyway, when I start ut2004 the main menu comes out looking all crazy. On my left monitor I see a blank windowed screen, and on my right I see about half of the UT2004 menu on the right hand side, and the left hand side of the right monitor is blank/black.
What I'd like is what I get in Windows when I play games - the game window maximizes to one screen or the other (in Windows it chooses my left monitor) and then the other monitor is just whatever I have open on it (desktop or a webpage, etc).
Here's my xorg.conf if it's needed. Nvidia 6800 and I think I have the drivers installed correctly... *i think*. Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it. Ubuntu is pretty fun.
