Running RR on secondary monitor

**HyperSprite** · 07-17-2006, 06:56 PM

I don't think this is a dual monitor support question, more of a development question.

Is there a way to tell RR to load on my secondary screen?

Why, you might ask? I am working on my new skin with my laptop connected to my 7" screen. I have my desktop extended over to the 7" but unless I make the 7" my primary, RR always starts on my Laptop screen. When I have tried making my 7" the primary, every other app in the world throws it's messages and boxes over there and some are so dumb, they are not even visible.

XPosition=0
YPosition=0

general.ini in the skin directory.

I wouldn't recommend running dual monitor for the reason exactly what you just said. Message boxes usually popup on the primary screen and if you don't see it, it'll appear that the app hangs (I'm talking about external apps, not RR). On my laptop, I set the LCD as the primary and the laptop screen as a clone. If I take the laptop out then it becomes the primary by default.

Thanks Enforcer

, I'll give that a shot.

b8bbi, I know what you mean, this is only for development, the laptop I am using is my regular computer, the 7" screen just happens to be sitting on my desk right now. My CarPC will run in normal one screen mode.
