Xinerama and OpenGL Games

Is there anyway to get a game such as UT2003 or tuxracer to use 1 screen instead of centering itself in the middle of both my screens?
I'm using KDE if that makes a difference

I use xfce for my window manager, and have had no problems with this. I ran Tribes2 last night on one screen, while the other screen just sat staring at me. Might just be you are using a WM without a lot of intelligence for xinerama.

I'll give that a try and see if that is indeed the problem

UT2003 supports multihead display so that could explain the problem , I have the same issue to , with a parhelia you can get a patch to run 3 head full screen ......I havent found any info on getting it to run fullscreen across 2 monitors though ........

Cheers
