I love cinnamon but fullscreen gaming is never a guarantee

Post by Tato »

I need my games to open up on the correct screen (namely the primary one i selected both in nvidia control and xrandr).
AND even when they do open on the right screen, its only for a second because once i tab out i have to move it again, and again, and again.
Just an endless cycle when in fact this should be easy to do right?

when i play games with nvidia , i set it back to one screen. you get better performance displaying on one screen only and you eliminate the need to click and hunt alt+tab for the right window. if the resolution is different for both monitors or monitor/tv you can't expect a fullscreen game window to open in two different resolutions. this is the same basic game concept as in windows and mac
