Dual monitors

[markv]

I like the game, good job.

I've found a few old threads about dual monitors. They suggest switching to windowed mode and miximizing on one screen. I think that's a button now (found it already so that's good). However, it works great except that the cursor leaves the monitor and moves to the other monitor. So I can't scroll around without the keyboard. Didn't found a solution for that in ~3 threads. Maybe lock the cursor within the window as long as it has focus.

Otherwise good game! I would be less confused if the units were a little larger, but I can understand if you're going for realism.

Hi! Some details about your system would help, can you attach the system_info.txt from the game's log directory? Recently there were improvements to the game's multi-monitor support, but it also depends on your OS.

I'll chime in on what I'm seeing in Ubuntu 15.04 with the nvidia drivers. X11 is setup with a virtual 3840x1080 (twinview) screen thats then connected to my 2 x 1920x1080 monitors.

X11 treats the second display area with a offset (+1920+0).

0ad seems to just utilze the whole display and not recognize/respect the display offset, fairly common for games on linux atm, the solution is usually just setting the resolution manually to 1920x1080.

0ad currently lets you go to windowed as a workaround (I had to manually edit my config, UI setting didn't seem to persist).
