Help setting up 2 asymmetrical displays with nvidia GTX 550

README.md

Posted: http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=191979

I'm trying to setup 2 displays with multimon in ETS2, but I'm failing. Well, I've managed to configure the custom multimon layout, but I can't figure out how to make ETS2 window expand to both displays.

My system:

• Windows 7 64-bit
• Nvidia GTX 550 Ti
• Main HDMI monitor at 1920 x 1080
• Secondary DVI monitor at 800 x 1280

My two displays have the following layout:

.----------..----.
|          ||    |
|          ||    |
'----------'|    |
            '----'

I wish to expand ETS2 game window to both displays. With such wider view, I'll be able to see the side mirror without having to move the camera and without the heads-up mirror.

I've managed to create and configure "multimon_config.sii" with the seemingly correct values (when in-game, I can see the two regions corresponding to the two monitors). However, I've failed to make the game window stretch to both displays. Whenever I start the game, it starts only in the main monitor (1920x1080), instead of expanding to both monitors (2720x1280). How can I do that?

The nvidia control panel has no "surround" option. I believe it is not officially supported on this video card.

Huh... Help, please?
