[0.15.28] Linux : wrong default screen choosen

[ludolpif]

Hi,

I am try to play Factorio on Debian 9 with Gnome 3 / Wayland / Radeon libre driver / HD6870 card. IT WORKS BETTER THAN ON WIN7. Wow. Less lags, more FPS, seamless transitions with others applications. This is very very very great.

There is a minor problem with screen choosing. I am using a dual-monitor config on a single video card. I didn't find any cmdine arg to hint the game about which screen choose. And the automatic choose is not the best IMHO : it seems trying to always take the leftmost screen. In my case it is my auxiliary small screen. The other, full-HD is marked "primary", has all desktop controls but it isn't choosen for the game. Here the logs :

Code: Select all

If I just change the positions of screens, factorio will go on the big one.

Please get the primary screen (or at least the biggest) screen in screen auto-detection and let the user hint the game about which screen. This works okay on Windows for my setup.

Cheers,
Ludovic

There is monitor selection inside Graphics settings, did you try that?

Hi, you should be able to switch screen in graphics options (might need game restart thought).
You can also exit fullscreen, move game window on a screen you want it to use, restart the game. After that the game should use screen you placed it on and you can enter fullscreen again.

EDIT: Actually, I am not sure if moving the window will work on Linux.
