Don't know if it has anything to do with it: http://mail.flightgear.org/pipermail/flightgear-cvslogs/2005-November/011451.html Maybe your glut doesn't understand the preferred format. I run fgfs with SDL, but not with the built-in fullscreen mode, but manually set to screensize. And I tell my window manager to omit the window decoration. Don't know if this works with multiscreen. I did some googling and poking around the freeglut mailing list and it does appear that freeglut's game-mode (fullscreen) is simply broken. There was a reference to OpenGLUT and it sounded like that may be seeing more development than freeglut? I don't track those projects closely so I don't know. sigh I found some original glut-3.7 rpms, installed those and everything works great. Bye, bye freeglut. :-) Curt. -- Curtis Olsonhttp://www.flightgear.org/~curt HumanFIRST Program http://www.humanfirst.umn.edu/ FlightGear Project http://www.flightgear.org Unique text:2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d

I should clarify that SDL in 'fullscreen' mode blanks the second monitor and locks the mouse to the first display. freeglut ---just doesn't work?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] Re: Freeglut and game mode
I know you guys have taken care of this, but perhaps it bears repeating.. Check your XF86Config file(s). In some case incorrect monitor settings can result in X turning off the second monitor if the numbers for the desired unit don't meet spec or becomes confused if you have two different monitors for a dual headed card and don't call out the specific sync and refresh numbers.
