Yes, it's another multi-monitor whinge from me! I do love my screen real estate, though.

OK, so I've got KF running on my main gaming machine, thanks to a new AMD beta driver. I'm having some issues when setting the resolution, though. Thanks to one of my monitors popping, I currently have a 1920x1080 16:9 monitor as my primary, with a 1280x1024 4:3 monitor as a secondary to its left.

If I set the screen resolution in (fullscreen mode) KF to any 4:3 resolution, then the image duplicates itself on both monitors, exactly as it does in Windows. This is fine, as I normally just turn off my secondaries and play. However, a 4:3 resolution on a 16:9 monitor isn't ideal, so I tried switching it to a 16:9 resolution, and the single image became positioned in the "centre" of the virtual desktop, spanning both monitors. This happens with any 16:9 resolution I have tried, and it makes it impossible to play.
