hi crew
i was wondering if someone could send me a hint or link to help with my GEM second monitor issue. i'm running an nvidia card(ti4200) configured with dual X screens (not twinview) and i want to be able to have my gem window open up in the second monitor (preferably always fullscreen). at this point i can't even work out how to get my mouse on the second screen. it was suggested to me that i try the following .... but it froze up and just said 'pd signal 2' a few times
DISPLAY=localhost:0.1; pd -guicmd "DISPLAY=localhost:0.0; /usr/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui" -lib Gem -lib zexy
also, when running a fullscreen Gem window, is their a optimal resolution?
I'm running CCRMA on Fedora core. thanks Tom

this sounds a bit to complicated to me.
simpler: start pd like normal create the gemwindow on "another" display with an argument to the create-message: [create localhost:0.1(

depends on your hardware (vga-beam, tv-beam)
if you use "dimen" to set the dimension, fullscreen will try to set this resolution first and falls back to the current resolution of your display if it doesn't succeed:
e.g. [dimen 640 480, fullscreen 1, create( sets the resolution of the display to 640x480 (even if the XF86Config says 1024x768) and creates the window at this resolution e.g. [dimen 500 500, fullscreen 1, create( will most likely fail to set the display resolution to 500x500 and thus the windows will have a resolution of 1024x768
