Check list popup too big with NV Surround

Recommended Posts

I'm using the Bronco with three monitors running nVidia surround.

Problem is that shift+2 brings up the check list super big and spread across all three monitors.

Usually the Windows mouse busy circle then starts up and my frame rates slow to a crawl.

I would assume anyone else using Surround or Eyefinity would be having the same problem.

Anyone have a modified panel.cfg to reduce the check list size and confine it to one monitor?

I'm running at 6040x1200 resolution.

Thanks,

gb.

We have asked nVidia a few times for support on these issues but they never replied. For now I think this is an issue that will not be solvable.

Mathijs thanks for the reply.

I'm no programmer but my understanding is that if the pop-up panel

is sized to fit on one monitor only there is usually no further problem.

I had the same trouble with Orbx's Vans RV4.

The developer gave me new numbers to enter in the RV4 panel.cfg file "window_size=" entry.

This was the original entry RV4:

[Window00]

ident=10

Background_color=0,0,0

visible=0

window_size= 0.441, 0.449

size_mm=1024,1024

position=2

night=255,255,255

and this is the new RV4 entry that works with NV Surround:

[Window00]

ident=10

Background_color=0,0,0

visible=0

window_size= 0.143, 0.449

size_mm=1024,1024

position=2

night=255,255,255

This is the Bronco panel.cfg checklist format:

[Window01]

size_mm=919,645

windowsize_ratio=0.55

window_pos= 0.05,0.05

BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0

VISIBLE=1

ident=12345

I've briefly tried altering the Bronco numbers but the format is different and I cannot get it to re-size.

Surely it is possible to change the Bronco's panel size?

You can try the VAN RV4 format for the Bronco like:

[Window01]

size_mm=919,645
window_pos= 0.05,0.05

window_size= 0.200, 0.200

Background_color=0,0,0
visible=1

ident=12345

Try changing the two values for windowsize until it fits in size and aspect ratio.

Thanks a lot Finn that worked great.

No busy cursor or drop in frame rate.

window_size= 0.150, 0.400 works well on my screen.

Maybe this should be the standard format for panel.cfg these days??
