Dual screen - Dagur - 06-01-2007

I know this problem has a simple solution (disconnect either screen), but is there a nicer solution to get the game to display correctly on a dual screen desktop?

I'm using ubuntu 7.04 (feisty)

If you're using TwinView set up a line like this in xorg.conf

Code:
Option "MetaModes"  "1280x1024,1280x1024; null,1280x1024; null,1024x768; 1024x768; null,800x600; 800x600"

then use ctrl-alt-KP_+/KP_- (that's keypad +/-) to change between modes before starting the game. Pick a mode where the monitor you want to use is on and the other reports "No Signal".
