I was just a bit confused that a shooter didn't support crosshairs.
The problem is that there is a bug in some Source engine games where the crosshair is not visible in triplehaed resolutions.

[quote]Hey urban - welcome to the forums. :D

That is indeed a cool looking screenshot. Ok, i'll totally admit that I have no idea what surround gaming is about, or what the triplehead2g0 is....this section of the forum seems to have sprung up while I was away.

Could someone point me to some informational links so I can get up to speed with all the basics? Thx!


Hey Stretch, read Paddy's review :)
http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/wiki/index.php?title=Matrox_TripleHead2Go_%28Featured_Review%29

Awesome, simply awesome. In the past i've always lavished praise on Matrox for being a desperately needed 3rd party competitor in the video card world. Their workstation cards have always been solid performers. In the gaming market they have always seemed to produce brilliant, outstanding products that end up languishing in glorious high-end obscurity, and although I have no doubt that will happen to the triplehead, I absolutely love the innovation.

Playing DoD in this kind of environment must be awe inspiring. Hey Urban - can you give us some of your impressions? Highs, lows, any unexpected things that might have come up?

Yes, there is hack that adds crosshair support to CSS and HL2.

It's very technical but I'll try to keep it simple if you want to hear more. It involves scotch-tape and a magic marker. PM me for more details.
