the problem is more of it that the 14" is the primary. isn't it? what i can't figure is how the graphics card switches the display to the tv automaticly. i never heard of any feature like that. maybe this some device resolution check routine coded in opengl cause dolphin uses that.
[coder gibberish mode]
gabest could do the same if he'd check the monitor caps. he could even create the window in dual or more screen space on any screen he likes it to be also to set the device ordinal to the screen he wants to create it. that's the save version and of course he'd need to set it if he'd do have the exclusive back. isnt it just one bit to set.

It's more complicated than that. As far as I remember (I didn't code it), the GS window is in control of lots of functions.

not really complicated. just a basic window with a size and style, a caption string buffer and a handle for the d3device to get the output right. also basic functions for placement, resizing and "hiding" behaviour. maybe switching the caption updater. the rest is setting up d3d with the provided handle and using device detection and reseting it with d3d present parameters. the internal rendering isn't even involved. that's as far as I see the issue with the general window output is.

townnet, most display drivers allow you to set different resolution for different monitors (with nvidia for example it's called "Dual View", I'm sure Intel and AMD drivers also allow it). So why don't you just set your main monitor to 1024x768, and your tv to 1920x1080 and just keep it this way without ever changing it? Then PCSX2 would use the optimal resolution on whichever monitor you choose to put it into full screen...

yeh. now i get what you meant townet. it'd usually clone the exclusive resolution on both displays. making the 14er scrolling (does that work with nvidia? - ati does!) and the tv gets it's full scale. nothing to make that work without the manual switch for now or do a dualview setup with the tv as primary. but ehh i don't really know why you not just use the tv for everything. you could even surf on it if you'd want to. :/
