Dual monitor problem

I am running Celestia on a PC with two monitors. If I display Celestia on the secondary monitor and then toggle into full screen mode, Celestia jumps onto the primary monitor. If I toggle out of full screen mode, it jumps back to the secondary monitor.

Is this a feature?

I would like to display in full screen mode on the secondary monitor. Is this possible?

Thanks

this is not a celestia-issue rather an option in your graphics-card driver.

i can switch full-screen-display on my nvidia geforce 5900U in the driver-options. any dual-wield-graphics adapter should have that option somewhere.

Not sure I understand your reply.

With other applications if I display them on the secondary monitor and maximise them, they stay on the secondary monitor. With Celestia, it moves to the primary monitor when I go full screen and back to the secondary monitor when I un-full screen it.

I have a Matrox G400 graphics adaptor.

This is not a fix for spacedonkey... rather, I am having a similar problem.
When I toggle to full-screen mode [Alt + Enter] with dual monitors, I get TWO identical full-screen displays, one on each monitor. As with spacedonkey, other applications will expand to fill the monitor in which the normalized window formerly resided. My intention is to have the full-screen Celestia display in the projected display (secondary monitor) for the student audience, while I have lecture notes on the other (primary) monitor.

I'm running Windows 2000 in extended monitor mode, with ATI's HydraVision software providing dual-monitor support. The graphics unit is the Mobility Radeon 9000.

Thanks in advance for your kind help!
