Keep to one screen with dual monitors?

Hi, folks:

I am running dual monitors, one in portrait and one in landscape rotation, with the landscape one as my primary, and the portrait one as a secondary browser/documentation view.

Is there any way to confine Red Eclipse to the landscape display? By default, it tries to span both monitors, with the portion on the landscape display getting cropped at the top and bottom, and as a result I can't see all of the controls.

Thanks,

There is some quirk with the SDL library we use for our underlying OS interface in the engine with respect to dual monitors. You'll probably find more information if you do a google search for something like: SDL dual monitor

i tried playing Red Eclipse in two monitors in windowed settings but the perfomance is very low at high resolutions, i play normaly at 1080p in a 22'' TV-LED 1080p, i think that a 2500x1600 monitor you can play well with a good graphic card too.

Dual monitors sounds pretty sweet. If someone gets that set up, I'd like to know. Maybe one of us could put together a tutorial or something. The idea of dual monitors might be more appealing to a wider audience and attract more players :)

And I expected that there'd be lower framerates with higher resolutions. Still worth the try though.
