Two displays and GForce ScreenSaver

Post by Xusqui »

Hile, neighbours and friends...

My question is simple... I run an AMD 4400+ dualcore with a Ge-Force 6800 and two displays, but when screensaver is triggered it's displayed only in one monitor :(

Is there anyway to display the screensaver into both displays?

If there's no way... At least, as many other screesavers, one of them could show a black screen...

And... It would be nice if the screensaver reacted to the music too...

Thnx in advance!!

I have the same problem. Two displays via ATI graphics card and the screensaver only appears in the primary display. If this could be duplicated in the 2nd display or stretched across both it would be great. Anyone know how to do this? Would really appreciate a solution.javascript:emoticon(':D')

depends on how many options your card has,

change the setting from extended desktop to clone mode and both screens should show the same thing.

Yeah... You got it, man!!!

But the tip is I don't want two screens to display the same thing... Who wants? I want two screens mostly for programming purposes and having two different codes in each one, but if the screensaver is triggered, is only triggered in one of them :(

No suggestion????

You can get two standalones running, one on the extra screen in a window but make it as large as you can and the other go full screen. Too bad you can't get G-Force to go full screen on the 2nd screen and still have the toolbar usable on the 1st. Even with the 1st screen running G-Force fullscreen the mouse just won't go over to the 2nd screen. Wish list!

Screen savers 2 monitors

Check out the electric sheep project. I run this on my G5 as a screensaver and it gives me 2 different fractal patterns, one for each monitor.

Very cool.
