two monitors/starcraft
I've just connected my powerbook to an old pc monitor that sits above the powerbook display. Its basically two displays stacked one on top of the other. I'm really only having one problem so far. When I run starcraft, it only uses the powerbook display. I'd like to be able to use both displays at the same time and have one big starcraft screen. Can anyone help me out?

Re: two monitors/starcraft
I'm affraid thats how StarCraft and 99% of games everywhere work, they are on one monitor only. StarCraft only runs at 640x480 on Mac OS and on Windows too, 640x480 woud look like poop stretched accross 2 monitors.
I tried this a long time ago on my old G3, I did however get 2 copies of StarCraft running at once damn that was hard to keep track of what was going on.

Re: two monitors/starcraft
Thanks for the info. I was hoping that each screen could keep its resolution and i'd have a nice big playing area.
Sorry bout the cross posting, i'm not to keen on forum etiquet.
