Whenever I run Unreal Tournament (latest OS X release - 436x3, released in May I think?), the video always only displays on my second monitor. Is there a way to force it onto my primary monitor? Something in the config files?

This is on a PowerBook G4 and a Samsung CRT. Problem occurred under Jaguar and still does on Panther, and only appeared in the newest 436x3 patch, not in the previous ones.

Did you by any chance notice a sharp decline in performance after upgrading to Panther? I get terrible performance in UT X now.. I'm below 20fps on lava giant very often now, on my 733 g4 radeon 7500, 512mb of ram

I didn't actually try to play the game, but the intro flyby ran exactly the same.

I tried to adjust the screen res and the confirm screen would only show on my second monitor.
I cant change from 800X600.
Also I would say that 10.3 has affected the speed of the game.
