#23 Mouse Prolems with Twin Monitors

[Anonymous]

AllegroGL is really shaping up.

I have read about the GFX_OPENGL > GFX_TEXT >
GFX_OPENGL workaround for the classic double mouse
bug but this not change anything for the "twin monitor
mouse bug".

I use a GeForceFX 5900 Ultra and am using both of the
monitor ports. When I run a full screen AllegroGL
program it uses the primary monitor (as practically all full
screen applications). Twin monitors seem to be
becoming evermore popular due to most video cards
having 2 ports.

I have my secondary "dummy" monitor to the left and my
OpenGL apps on the right. When I move the mouse
towards to left of the OpenGL screen (not actually OFF
to the left, more within the left 25%) I get a second
pointer on my secondary monitor. If I then click the
mouse it clicks on whatever is on the left and un-
focuses the AllegroGL application.

PS. Any change of an algl_file_select_ex or some kind of
substitute (popup_dialog maps to algl_popup_dialog)
that allows all GUI functions? :o)

Need more detail / someone with dual monitor to debug.
