Dualhead gaming FAQ

[hans2]

Is there any sort of collection for gaming with dualhead? Other than searching the forums. I don't necessarily mean trying to use both displays during the game, I just want to know which games run with G400 / P dual enabled, if there's any quirks, etc.

I've just got addicted to Ghost Recon. It ran the first time I played it with only one monitor connected at a friend's gaming party. Came home, connected the 2nd monitor, and now it only wants to run on that 2nd display. If I disable/remove that monitor, the game won't load.

If there's no current FAQ for this, I could be twisted into putting something together.

Matrox has some info on dualhead and surround gaming.

In some cases (like croc 2) you get two choices in the display adapter in the setup for the game, even though they seem to be the same one is for the primary monitor and one for the secondary monitor. This happened to me with both the G400 and the Parhelia.

It doesn't happen like that for all games, but for some it does.

Try and see if you can change the display adapter to another one whose name is going to be the same.
