And what if I only have one Gfx Card with two monitors connected?
I think about patching OpenScreen() function and set SA_MonitorName to the other monitor (in my case RadeonX1900.monitor.1)...
Would that work, or are "older" games using a different way to open a screen???
Yeah, using/creating a tool to force the application to a different screen, like with these screen promotion tools in the old days, should work and is currently the only way.
Actually I don't know how this would be implemented in the future without a "dirty task name hack" as there only can be one default display and all old applications would end up there.
On the other side there aren't many applications doing it the OS1.3 fashion way, so maybe a patch to the application would be more useful. Like patching the static screen structure or the taglist within the game to make it a public screen.
