Start on second monitor not working correctly

[Wakalaka]

I have 2 LCD monitors plugged into my video card. When I right-click on desktop, choose Properties, click Settings tab, then Identify button, it shows 2 on the monitor that I use as my main monitor (because it's plugged into the top DVI port on the video card). However, I dragged monitor 2 to the left side so that when I move the mouse to the right edge, the mouse appears at the left edge of monitor 1. I also selected Monitor 1 as "Use this device as the primary monitor", and Monitor 2 "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor".

I believe GB-PVR config is looking only at Monitor #, and not which one is selected as the primary monitor. I worked around this by changing config to uncheck "start on second monitor".

did you try restarting with the setting in place

i was just playing around with this last night and mine was fine (nvidia though and i had to change drivers to get it to work as mine was only letting me clone )

My 2cts: wasn't there a problem sometimes with the 2nd screen on the left of the main screen? Maybe dragging it to the right cures the problem.

Its a long standing issue that 'start on second monitor' only works if its in the default configuration of being the right hand monitor. Its one my list to fix in a future release.

I rebooted and tested before reporting the problem.

A related issue: under 1.2.9 pvrx2 fetched the screen resolution from monitor#1 whichever monitor it was displaying on. At the time (thanks to NVidia's inept drivers) #1 was my 720x576 TV out and pvrx2 ended up stretching a lores UI onto my 1280x1024 monitor. Not pretty.

Can you add fetching the correct resolution to the fix list (assuming 1.2.13 hasn't fixed it already of course).
