How to setup Prefs/Screens !?!?

Post by johnfante »

I am trying to setup the Screens utility to open especially 3D dependant programs (games, Blender etc.) on my Radeon 9250, so I do not have to change the Workbench resolution from my Radeon HD to the Radeon PCI, but I not really getting the hang of it. Proberbly just me not understanding it.

The problem is not when the program by it selv opens on a new screen (Petes FTP for instance and Dopus5.9) that is easy to add in Screens. But what do I do with a game like for instance Hurrican? If i add it with the name it has - hurrican - and tells Screens to open it on the Radeon PCI in a screen mode of 1024x768 it does not do it. The Radeon HD goes black for a short moment and then comes back.

Thank you in advance.

I had the same problem for WarpView (X1000 HD6670/R9250), try to apply this procedure :

edit : I just reread it and see that I tried without success to apply this method to Hurricane
