           Summary: Fullscreen behavior constrains virtual desktops to
                    leftmost Monitor when using Twinview
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.23
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: Skiri-ki at gmx.de


I have a dual-monitor setup using nvidias twinview to combine two monitors with
a resolution of 1280x1024 each summing up to 2560x1024 total resolution. Some
Fullscreen applications only receive the total resolution, try to use it, and
get restricted to one monitor. Therefor only half of the application is
rendered while the rest gets cut of (e.g. Portal). Alternately the application
fails to start entirely (e.g Oblivion).

This isn't a problem if the application also has a list of common
screen-resolutions along with the Twinview-resolution and can also be fixed by
using a Virtual Desktop which works fine save for one tiny detail.
Since Bug 14985 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14985) was fixed these
desktops are constrained to the leftmost monitor.

In my case this is my "secondary" monitor, and using it for primary purposes
instead of assisting, secondary purposes causes me to rearange things on my
desk. Yes this is merely an inconvenience for me but might be creating more
trouble for others.

This could be fixed by either using the designated(by twinview) primary
display, the display the application was launched on or through a configurable
option.

If it's a to complex problem to efficiently solve, I wont mind if it's not
implemented though.
