Left 4 Dead 2 Linux beta - Full Screen Display Mode Bug for Multi-Display Configuration. #707

Open ModMerc opened 11 years ago

ModMerc commented 11 years ago

Switching Full Screen mode between 2 monitors doesn't always work. When I first installed and ran Left 4 Dead 2 I was able to switch from Full screen Mode (0) to Full screen Mode (1) with no problem. I was unable to do this on subsequent tries. I restarted L4D2 and I was unable to switch monitors at all. I was only able to change monitors if I switched from a windowed mode to Full screen mode (0) or (1).

This bug is repeatable.

Linux Driver Ver. 304.88 any reason you’re not on a later 31x.xx driver? 313 is the preferred minimum

Hello John.

It seems that version 304.88 is the latest nVidia driver in the Mint 14 and Ubuntu 13.04 repositories.

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/raring/amd64/nvidia-current

Synaptic package manager shows an experimental 310 driver, but in my experience in beta testing, using experimental software can lead to more problems.

I'll see about installing the latest 319 driver and see if this problem persists.

After Installing nvidia driver 319.17 from the xorg-edgers ppa, I can confirm that this bug is still present.

The only difference from the system specifications above is:

NVIDIA Driver: 319.17 NV-Control Version: 1.29

Looks like the setting is saved and works correctly when starting the game. The game simply does not reinitialize the window so that SDL gets the hint to go to the other monitor.
