The Linux version seems to ignore dual monitor hints provided by nVidia's TwinView. I'll test on a system using an Intel driver later to see if it's better with OSS drivers.
The game opens stretched across both screens, and if the monitors have different resolution, then click accuracy is off (seems like the game fills based on the height of the taller screen but the input is tracked based on the height of the lower screen).
Only work around I've found is to disable one of the screens before launching. Normally I'd expect full screen apps to launch only on the display marked "Primary".

Sorry for the trouble... I don't have a dual-head setup to test on here, so it's really something I've never looked into.
Have you tried building from source?
Can you test something for me in the source version?
Find minorGems/graphics/openGL/ScreenGL_SDL.cpp
Line 661 is currently:
flags = SDL_OPENGL;
Change it to:
flags = SDL_OPENGL | SDL_NOFRAME;
Recompile, and then launch the game in windowed mode to see what happens. You might also want to adjust screenWidth and screenHeight to match your target monitor, and turn useLargestWindow off (all in the settings folder).

Here's how my screens show in randr:
$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2880 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192
DVI-I-0 connected 1280x1024+1600+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm
1280x1024 60.02*+ 75.02
1152x864 75.00
1024x768 75.03 60.00

640x480 75.00 59.94

800x600 75.00 60.32
640x480 75.00 59.94 I've applied the patch you suggested and built from source.
After I launch the game like this then screenWidth.ini and screenHeight.ini show 1280 and 720 respectively. Should these change on their own to match my system, are are these just the default values?
I have useLargestWindow set to 0
the log shows this:

Let me know what you'd like me to try next.

So... did the NOFRAME patch change the "stretched across both monitors" issue?
I was trying to see if a "fullscreen window" would help you. In order to try this, you need to turn fullscreen off (0) in fullscreen.ini
UseLargestWindow only affects windowed mode. Fullscreen mode is controlled by fullscreen.ini
Offline
With and without the patch it always picks 2880 x 1200 (stretch across both screens) when in fullscreen mode.

Hmm.... that's too bad!
Well, I will work on this some for the next update and we'll see if it helps you.

Thanks a lot jason! I'm having this problem too. Currently using debian with i3.
