BZFlag with Twinview Geforce 4

Hi,
I have been a BZFlag user since the SGI days (running on IRIX 5).
Love the game, but I have a question about running it in Linux with dual monitors:

I have a NVidia Geforce 4, and using the NVidia binary kernel drivers on Linux 2.4.20-18.9.

When I run BZFlag it spans both monitors (which is kinda kewl), it runs fast and OpenGL works, But I want to only run on one monitor without having to change my XF86Config.

Other games do this automatically (Like RTCW, Quake 3, etc...)

Anyone know how to restrict it to one monitor while in TwinView mode?

pass bzflag the -window -geometry <size of one monitor> option?

I am unsure, that's just a guess, but it seems logical

i.e. $bzflag -window -geometry 1600x1200

or whatever resolution your primary monitor is on.

Peace
Fiber

you just need a third monitor, and use -view three <grin>
