Dual monitors on Linux - Debian XFCE

[person93]

I've been having a few issues with a dual monitor setup.

 

I first tried playing in full screen mode. This was pretty bad. I couldn't control which monitor the game was shown on and the other monitor was disabled completely. When I closed the game, all of my other open windows were all on the same monitor and I had to put each one back the way I'd had it before.

 

Then I played in windowed mode and made it fullscreen in the windowed menu. This is better: I can choose which monitor to play on and my other windows stay where I put them.

However, the video settings are changed for the other monitor. Is there some way to make the video settings only affect the game window? I have some stuff open on the other screen and the colors are all messed up until I close the game.

Also, there is no way to release the mouse from the game while a mission is loading. When I am in the menu, I can press the ~ key. This opens the console (which I don't care about) and releases the mouse. When a mission is loading, this does not work. Is there some way to release the pointer while a mission is loading?

 

I am using the GeForce 1060 graphics card with nvidia driver version 390.42
