NWN Fullscreen & Xinerama/TwinView

Message

Hi All:

I finally upgraded my vid card last week to a GF FX5200 (from 1st gen Radeon AIW). I've been working on getting the card's TwinView functionality working. I've got most of it set. Everything BUT Neverwinter Nights works the way I want. I want to be able to play the game fullscreen on one monitor, and still be able to use the other monitor to use a terminal, check email or whatever.

No matter what I do, the game won't go fullscreen on one monitor. It always covers both with the screen in the middle. I've tried running it in windowed mode and moving the window to the monitor I want it on, but then the mouse isn't grabbed and you can't rotate the camera in-game (no, Ctl-G doesn't work). Mplayer and Xine will both go full screen on one monitor. I've changed the symlink in the nwn lib directory to point to the Gentoo-supplied libsdl. It was compiled with Xinerama support, as was the WM (metacity).

Does anyone have any tips?

I had this problem with quake 4 - added a metamode of 1280x1024,NULL to the relevant section of my xorg.conf

Code: Select all

# Twinview Options
    Screen      0
    Option      "TwinView"
    Option      "MetaModes"     "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024,768; 800x600,800x600; 1280x1024,NULL"

    Option      "SecondMonitorHorizSync"        "UseEdidFreqs"
    Option      "SecondMonitorVertRefresh"      "UseEdidFreqs"

Switches off my right hand monitor and goes fullscreen on the left.

Thanks for the reply! I would prefer being able to still have the desktop on the second monitor, rather than having it turn off when playing the game. I've been testing several other SDL games, and they exhibit the same problem. I've compiled libsdl with the xinerama use flag, so I'm not sure why it's happening. In MPlayer or Xine, I can put the video on fullscreen and still be able to use the 2nd monitor as the desktop.

I just found this post on a blog: http://blog.spoonix.org/?p=723. Maybe going that route will work better.

I was able to get nwn working in fullscreen twinview... break between the monitors was exactly where the character is placed, so it's a bit annoying, but for a pair of projectors it would be *awesome*. All I had to do is with a working twinview setup, go to the display properties within NWN and change the res to the full resolution (ie 2560x1024 or whatever the full twinview res is).

Hi,
I've been all around the gentoo forums and I cant yet seem to find an answer for this question.

I have setup a twinview setup but I am trying to run so that when I maximise windows it does not cover both screens.
I am hoping to use the Twinview feature of the nvidia driver but be able to maximise into each window.

Games across both screens arnt an issue.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

BTW: I have an nvidia 6600GT.

There are two (actually there are more, but two common ones) ways of dealing with multiple moniters on a linux box. One is twinview/xinerama one is to run two seperate x sessions one for each moniter. Each has it's proe's and con's. To do what you want, you would need two x sessions one on the game and one on your desktop. However you might not want to take what comes with that.

In twinview/xinerama:
Both moniters show one long virtual screen. This is handy as you can run a single x session on both screens. But it has the downside of being one huge screen, with a break in the middle. Maximized windows will take up all of both screens. There are ways arround most of these problems however, if you are clever and spend some time with it. I have a script that will resize and reposition a window so it takes up all of one moniter, this gets arround the double moniter maximization problem.

As far as games go you can specify a single moniter resolution, this will make the game play on one screen and leave the other blank. This is the solution I use on most games. You can also make the game play on both screens, but there are two downsides to doing this: 1) depending on the graphics card it may affect what you can do in hardware and 2) most games put important things in the middle of the screen which is exactly where the break in the moniters is, this may or may not be a problem depending on your setup and the game in question.

So those are your options. I don't know if it's possible to "switch on the fly" and have the xinerama switch to being a single screen and then start a new xsession on the other to play a game on. But if it is possible it is probbly more trouble than it's worth.

I'm running nwn using twinview.. and I have nwn fill my left monitor completely, and still have my right monitor with my desktop/etc.

a little bit of info about my setup.. I'm running two lcd widescreen monitors with native resolution 1680x1050.

my 'metamodes' line from the device section of my xorg.conf

Code: Select all

        Option      "MetaModes"  "1680x1050,1680x1050;1680x1050,;,1680x1050"

I've modified my nwn.ini (for me it's in /usr/local/games/nwn/nwn.ini )file to add the line 'AllowWindowedMode=1', and I have the Height and Width set to be the same as one of my monitors.

Code: Select all

[Display Options]
...
Height=1050
Width=1680
...
AllowWindowedMode=1

Now.. yes I'm running in windowed mode.. but.. wait their's more

I'm using gnome with metacity so this might not be nessisary with other window managers or whatever..

but..
emerge devilspie

In your System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup Programs.. Add devilspie

in your home directory, make a directory .devilspie (I think one will be created automatically when you first start devilspie)..
And create a file with a .ds extension.. mine is called nwn_undecorate.ds
the contents are:

Code: Select all

(if 
  (is (window_name) 'Neverwinter Nights Client')
  (begin 
    (geometry "1680x1050+0+0")
    (undecorate)
  )
)

devilspie will find a window with the name 'Neverwinter Nights Client'.. and set the window geometry to be exactly my screen size (1680x1050) and place the window zero pixels from the top and left, and remove the title bar and border of the window (undecorate)..

Anyway.. that's what works for me.

Heh, are you talking about NWN or NWN2? because the 2 is quite buggy even on the PC, because is very badly programmed itself...

bl00dseeker · Post by **bl00dseeker** » Sun Oct 07, 2007 12:31 am

We talk about nwn1 cause nwn2 has no linux client atm.

I have the same issue with twinview now. I wrote the resolution of one monitor in the nwn.ini but it is ignored, it still starts with 2560x1024.

Code: Select all

[Display Options]
UseLargeFont=0
RefreshRate=0
BitsPerPixels=32
Height=1024
Width=1280
TexturePack=3
FullScreen=0
AllowWindowedMode=1
[Video Options]

i did this in nwn.ini and nwnplayer.ini, but no effect. Although the "Fullscreen" option has effect, so it can't be a problem with rights. I want to keep my xorg.conf cause this way is the only that guarantuee vsync on both screens.

I found a solution

Code: Select all

Option "MetaModes" "CRT-0: 1280x1024_75,1280x1024_75; CRT-1: 1280x1024x1280x1024; 1280x0124; 1280x1024; 1024x768; 800x600; 640x480;"
