Hi all!
I have just set up Twinview with a 19" tft (dvi) and a 15" tft (crt) on a Nvidia 7900 GT. Things is working great except for games (UT2004 and UT99). All games spans over both monitors, but I only want the games on one monitor, my 19" tft. Is there any possible way with some command to tell my games to only run in full-screen on my 19"tft? I have tried to run the games in window-mode, but then I get gamma problems (and some other problems).

Regards
Eazy

"null" turns the the other monitor off. I got 1280x1024 on my primary monitor and 1024x768 on the small one. I also use 1280x1024 in my game, so using "null" in metamodes is not an option for me. I also want the other monitor on to see irc while I play. I have tried all different dual monitor modes, but only twinview work with beryl. I have tried different start options with UT2004 like "ut2004 -xineramascreen 0" but it don't work. I'm actually thinking of going back to WinXP after 2 years of using Linux just because of this :( I really want this to work.

Good luck getting that to work with windows as well

Why not run the game windowed?

I already got it working in Windows. As I said in the first post, I get gamma problems when I run it in window-mode. It gets to dark and changing gamma in-game does not work when in window-mode.
