Dual Monitors
Hi There
Before I start I doubt this is an actual Winuae Problem, More like a USER problem Ok I have setup dual screens on my PC. I can access both screens my moving to the edge of the screen so the mouse goes onto the 2nd screen. When I start Winuae I set it to secondary display so it loads up my OS on the secondary screen no problem at all. So XP on the primary and Amiga on the secondary. The problem I have is once Winuae is running on the secondary monitor, I then cant access the Primary monitor? Thanks For any help. I did do a search to see if there was a button or something you held down to get back to the first monitor. But couldnt find anything |

It is directdraw fullscreen limitation (same with games).
Better solution: download latest winuae beta and use "full-windowed" instead of regular fullscreen mode. |

Hi Toni
Thanks for the reply. Ok if I use "full-windowed" with beta 11 it still wont let me access the Primary monitor. The only way I can seem to do it is press F12 to bring the config page up for Winuae. Then I can move to the Primary monitor which is great But once you click on anything on the Primary monitor the Secondary monitor minimizes Winuae. So it doesnt actually stay on screen. Many Thanks Jimbo |

Hi
I enabled magic mouse. Before I was using Native mode in "full-window" mode which was when I had to press F12 to be able to move the mouse to the Primary screen. i tried RTG mode in "full-windowed" with magic mouse ticked and it loaded half the OS then came up with an error. I have attached a log in case you needed to see it. What I am trying to get is so I can switch between OS'S by just moving the mouse across the screen. Not being able to move the mouse to change screens while playing a game doesnt affect me really. Thanks for all the help Jimbo |

Hi
Switching P96 mode to 32-bit worked a treat. Dual monitor works 100% now. Many thanks for all your help Toni. I only got a Dual monitor to run your Winuae Cheers Again Jimbo |

that's ok I got it working via Mandriva
long story since I use a 17" and 27" monitor I pulled out my old monitor switcher and that way i can use the 27 for the Amiga when I want and the 17 for windows and vice versa.Very handy |

Where is the "Magic Mouse" option? I can't find it.
[Edit:I found it - under "Game Ports" - "Extra Settings" Does Magic Mosue work with native screenmodes as well or only P96? Last edited by bladecgn; 29 November 2020 at 07:24. |
