[RESOLVED] No Backglass or DMD in PinballX menu

Hey guys,

After having my PBX setup running smoothly outside of my cab, I now am having several issues since I installed my 3 monitors inside the cab.

I had VP and FP running, displaying and launching smoothly from within PBX and outside of PBX.

One of the issues I'm having is PBX no longer displays Backglass or DMD images for Future Pinball tables and does not display DMD images for VP tables. For some reason, the Backglass displays okay for VP tables.

This is all from the PBX menu as I'm flipping through tables.

I have been looking at my PBX settings and although it looks okay to me, I'm sure I'm missing something.

If someone could please look at my config, databases and logs to see what I have wrong, I would be very thankful.

For some reason, my databases don't show everything in the spoiler, so I have attached them.

Edit: After I changed the Windowed/Full Screen setting to Windowed, I can see that both the BG and DMD show up and are small and on Monitor 1. I attached a screenshot of this.

I verified my display settings and have changed the BG and DMD positioning. Changing the positioning does not move them at all. It used to, but now it does not.

I did a fresh install of PBX version 2.03 and am having the same issue.

Can anyone please help me with my issue?

Thanks in advance!

Resolved. After walking away from this for a while, I started swapping cables between my three monitors.

Well, on my test setup, I had everything displaying smoothly with monitors 2 (BG) and 3 (DMD) plugged in to my onboard graphics and monitor 1 (PF) plugged in to my Radeon graphics card. After installing the PC and monitors in my cab, Future Pinball did not like my same cable setup. Visual Pinball ran okay, but FP had me stuck.

It turns out the only way I was able to get all three monitors to display properly and FP to load properly, was to plug monitors 1 and 2 into my Radeon graphics card and monitor 3 to my onboard graphics.

All monitors are now displaying and FP is now loading as it did before.

I hope this helps someone else who may run into the same situation as I had.
