I have a dual monitor desktop set up. It's 2560x1024. I want to run the game entirely on one screen (and I want to be able to choose which screen). Unfortunately even if I restrict the game to a 1280x1024 window, it somehow gains knowledge that the outside world is 2560x1024, so parts of the screen get cut off.
Now my actual workspaces under Ubuntu / Gnome are also 2560x1024. I'm also trying to figure out how to bring those down to size (so each monitor can displays its own workspace). I think figuring out this part might fix the Eve bug.
Has anyone got this working in the way that I'd like to run the game?

okay I figured it out, and unlike some chumps I'll explain how I fixed it.
I used nvidia-settings (run under root from terminal). What worked for me:
"Separate X Screen" for each monitor.
Disable Xinerama.
Save the file, replace the one in /etc/X11 (or where ever it is on your system).. and never forget about backing it up..
Each screen is basically its own independent 1280x1024 desktop now.
I have the game running in full screen on a CRT, and my LCD has all my applications. I'm essentially using the CRT as a free antialias :P

I've used 2 different X screens to play with laptop/desktop displays a bit. Powerful thingy not accessile to windoze users :)
As far as i know there's no way at all launch EVE in fullscreen mode on one screen and at the same time work on another in Win (eve just minimizes).

If you're using KDE with Xinerama support, try this:
Set cedega/wine to "Virtual Desktop" mode, and EVE to run in fullscreen mode, using your monitor's native resolution (1280x1024). You get a window with EVE completely filling it. Now just move the window on the desired screen, right-click on the window's title bar and select Enhanced->Fullscreen. The window border disappears, and it fills the whole screen. If you need to run two seperate EVE clients with wine, use a different WINEPREFIX, otherwise you can't open two instances.

Wine supports multiple eve instances launched from the same location...
