I recently added a second monitor to my GeForce FX5300 PCI-X, and went to select which monitor to play on in Renegade. Since my second monitor's maximum resolution is the same resolution I play Renegade at, I figured I'd play Renegade on that monitor. However, when I opened up Renegade Config, I didn't see anywhere to specify which monitor to play on. Instead, I think Renegade Config only allows to specify which video card to play on. Is this true? Is there any way around it in either case?

If you use Nview, you can choose which monitor programs use. Nview is quite handy for dualmonitor systems, you should install it if you haven't already.

There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

I've tried that and it doesn't seem to be affecting anything. Sad

Have you had much luck with Nview? If so, maybe you could help me find whatever it is that I'm missing?

Try selecting one, and running renegade to see what monitor it runs on, then change and run again to see if there is any change.
