Description Tim Fechtner 2008-05-18 10:06:29 UTC
Actually, there is no possibility to configure the display size with sax2 - the display size is choosen automaticly following the screen size. (For example: screen size 1024x768, display size also 1024x768).

This might be acceptable as long as you use only _one_ monitor. But when you use _2_ monitors, this causes problems.

Example: I have a laptop with an LCD of 1280x800 (16:10). The laptop has an external monitor output (VGA). I want to use a video projector with the laptop (dual head mode/cloned multihead). My video projector supports only 4:3 - so I need 1024x768 as screen size for the video projector (the projector can't do higher resolutions). When I do that (setting the screen size of the so named "second monitor" in sax2 to 1024x768), then sax2 sets the display size to 1280x800! This way the people don't see everything on the canvas. But I want 1024x768 as display size, resulting in a fully used video projector canvas and the laptop display should have black bars on the margens of the image.

It is really important to be able to set the display size to custom values when you work with beamers! Please implement this in sax2!
