First, this has never seemed to work fully in Myth, so it's not a new issue, but thought I'd mention it in case it's not a known issue. If it is a known issue and won't be fix, it would be nice to know that. (:
Setup. 12" Powerbook with GeForce FX Go5200 (32MB) connected to a 20" 1600x1200 display, using the 12" screen as the 'main' screen, 1600x1200 screen as secondary screen.
I'd like to play myth on the large screen, so start up myth, select the large screen, with 'don't play cutscenes' checked, but nothing else. Music starts but nothing comes up, black screen. Hit escape...
try #2, click the swtich resolutions and don't play cutscenes, large screen selected... music starts, black screen... hit escape.
go into system prefs, and change the ext. large lcd to be the 'main' screen by dragging the menu bar to it
try #3, click switch res and don't play cutscenes... myth starts. However, my mouse is on the 2nd panel, I'm guessing because the res change to 640x480 on the large panel pushed my cursor to the secondary screen (the powerbook is arranged to the right of the main screen). Because the lrage ext screen is now 640x480, my arrangement is a bit messed up, and the cursor barely finds a place where the screens 'meet'. Go to preferences, choose the openg1 screen #1 (ext screen) and 1600x1200. Game starts, everything seems to work ok. Game ends and my cursor is again on the powerbook screen when the res switches.
switch the powerbook screen back to the main screen...
try #4. Start myth, click on the powerbook screen to start up on, switch res, don't play cutscenes... myth starts fine on the powerbook screen. go to preferences, choose open gl #2 (which is the ext screen) and 1600x1200. Host a game... start... screen goes blue, and myth crashes. Last thing in log is 'Loading Patch Files Succeeded'.
Summary - I can't seem to play Myth on a secondary screen. There has always been some issues with thing, ranging from it working sometimes, to not working depending on setup/vid card etc.
Anyway, thought I would report to see if it's a known issue, fixable, unfixable, or not looked at yet (:
