Guys i need some tips please.
I've got twin view setup using 2 identical monitors @ 1024*768 giving me an
effective 2048*768 display.
The only problem i have is that where the monitors meet i need to add some
dead space so the FG cockpit display looks right because at the moment when
say a control tower goes from the 1st left screen ( right hand side of
screen ) to the 2nd screen ( left hand side ) you end up with two halves of
the tower across the screen.
I would like if poss to create a dead area just like you would see looking out
of the cockpit where 2 windows are seperated by a frame.
Any tips would be very welcome.
Below is the setup im using from xorg.conf.
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nvidia"
#VideoRam 131072
# Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
Option "TwinView" "yes"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768,1024x768 -300+0;800x600,800x600"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "30 - 70"
Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh" "50 - 160"
Option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo"
EndSection
If need be, I can send you an xorg.conf where I worked out how to
configure twin view as two separate X11 displays, rather than a single
big display stretched across two monitors. It's not that hard to do,
but the nvidia README.txt didn't directly explain it so I had to puzzle
out a few of the pieces.
That would let you run two separate copies of FG to the two separate
displays and you could add in the dead space between views quite easily.
I don't know the performance implications on doing that though ...
