Created an attachment (id=34279) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=34279) Error Output when 2 or more displays are connected.
I have tried to find the source of this problem from the start of the 1.3.x branch to no luck until i found out the following:
When using my Epson Powerlite 6+ games like GTA3, Oblivion, Hitman and many others do not run. They dont even start. Am using an Nvidia 9600 Card with proprietary drivers (Version 260) in Ubuntu 10.10 with Wine 1.3.18 as it comes.
Even when i turn off the Epson they would not work. The only way was for me to either remove the cable connected from the Epson to the PC because not even removing the cord from the Epson would do it. then i had to configure Nvidia to not tell Ubuntu that it still had two views.
I also tested the Epson powerlite 8+, using another VGA Monitor, Using a TV LCD, Using a LED TV and using a smaller VGA monitor. So i have tested several things that when connected to the PC and after configuring the 2 Displays in "Clone View" they just made the games not work.
