full screen presentation mode over dual screen :-(

Hello,
I'm installing the permanent exhibition of the museum today.
I'm stuck into a strange problem.

Windows7
2 screens same resolution
enlarged desktop in windows
my patch is launched in fullscreen mode, it works very fine but I only see the patch fullscreen on the 1st screen and on the 2nd one, I have the windows desktop!

I don't want to separate in 2 different windows because of the patch design (I'm using the presentation mode with UI on the first screen & a movie on the other)

there was my abstraction for multimonitor fullscreen somewhere here recently.
not sure about presentation mode.

Okay.
Can you send it to me?
I d prefer not to redesign patches for a lot of reason

I've currently no second monitor to test, but after going fullscreen, it might be possible to adjust the window size using thispatcher? The screensize objects reports for all screens.

I tried to hide menu, border etc on my window and moving it to 0. -200. ... instead of using full screen on my 2 screens... it doesn't work.
I cannot move the windo to 0. -y ...

Investigating about Eyefinity's ATI mode.
It provides a "screen grouping" feature in which I can put something fullscreen as if I had only one GREAT & wide monitor (composed by the 2 screens I have)

But I can only have 2560x768 resolution mode (=1280x768 on my 2 screens)
And I need 1024x768 on my 2 screens (=2048x768 on my grouped screens.

anyone on that?

my big advantage is that i know about the search function at the forums. :)

the trick is to not use fullscreen but create your own by setting the size,
removing the window panels and hiding the menubar. this works across
100 monitors if you want.

I tried to find it yesterday.
thanks a lot
I'll try it in a few minutes.

oh
ok
I already tried that
the problem was:

"I tried to hide menu, border etc on my window and moving it to 0. -200. ... instead of using full screen on my 2 screens... it doesn't work.
I cannot move the windo to 0. -y ..."

I missed something (for sure)
Rereading..

windowposition 0 0 should be enough.

it works for me on different computers and different OS
with those 20 35 -40 -45 values you can see in my patch.

so what happens if you turn on [110.fullscreens 1024 768]?

it should give you exactly what you need.

(re)testing that and taking a snapshot

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

It doesn't work well as I have already tested with thispatcher messages.

(re)trying your stuff..
