Summary: Running games in windowed mode causes secondary monitor to shutdown in TwinView mode. Product: Wine Version: 1.2 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ben.r.xiao@gmail.com
Running Perfect World International and Source-engine based games in windowed mode will cause the secondary monitor in Nvidia TwinView to shutoff. It seems like these games are switching to the native resolution of the primary display rather than keeping the combined TwinView resolution.
For example, I have a 1680x1050 primary monitor and a 1440x900 secondary monitor. This gives me a TwinView resolution of 3120x1050. When I launch Perfect World or a Source-engine based game in windowed mode, the resolution is changed to 1680x1050, which shuts off my secondary monitor. Games running in windowed mode should NOT change desktop resolution.
