I dunno if this will help, but have you tried to check and possibly edit the user.cfg? Also make sure you have the user.cfg in your user folder and not the game folder.

Another option you could try is temporarily disabling the 2nd screen, then starting the game. Maybe that will force it to the first. I had to do something similar with tropico 3 where the game wouldnt start if ya had 2 screens connected. But you could activate the 2nd screen again after starting the game with only one.

Setting fullscreen=off starts the game in windowed mode, this time mostly on the left monitor but spanning both. However you cannot move it as the game grabs mouse/keyboard preventing that (mouse won't leave the game window). There are a few other games in my steam library that I've had to start windowed, but they don't grab mouse/keyboard the same way and IIRC you can just move those to primary and fullscreen there.

A small scriptlet starting the game in a new X server using only primary screen should be doable and allow you to switch back and forth between game/desktop. That seems like a pita to work around what is clearly a buggy implementation though. It is the kind of stuff I'll do to run a game in wine, I don't expect having to deal with that for native games.

I'm having this issue as well. It shows up on the wrong monitor. I'm unable to move it.

oneonyourface, I finished a game on small monitor. I have nvidia gt550ti and havnt your problems. But this topic about switching displays...

I have the same problem. Linux version of Metro Last Light seems not to have several graphic options, including screen resolution. Hope it will be solved. It is not a nice "feature" for the first AAA game for linux in Steam...

It will be an eternal topic!
