DCS monitor setup capabilities questions

[intx]

I have gotten back into DCS w/ a new machine and set of monitors. I have two different monitors. The left one is running at 1920 x 1040, the right one is running 2560 x 1440. The right one is setup to be "primary" in Windows. When I run DCS, it shows up on that monitor. I am trying to set it up so that right monitor considers to be the main monitor and I can put exports like MFCDs on the left monitor. I have a couple of questions:

 

1. Does DCS support this type of setup (running across multiple monitors with different resolutions)?

2. I have tinkered around w/ monitor setup LUA files. I have set the games resolution setting to 4480 x 1440 and it accepts it. This question is related to view setups in the monitor LUA files. In setting up "Center" and GUI, is x/y related to what Windows considers to be primary monitor? I tried putting center's x at 1921 and that didn't have desired affect. I don't think I put the export's x's values as negative to show that it goes left of the Center's view or do I?

1. Yes

2. Looking at my old monitor.luas , it look like the (0,0) point is is the top left of all the areas combined. So, there shouldn't be any purely negative numbers for (x,y). This was true regardless of which of the 2 monitors I had as "Primary" or "Main Display".

Here is an example of a somewhat similar 2 screen setup. The left screen was mounted vertically and contained the MFDs and the main screen in front of me had the DCS cockpit.

_ = function(p) return p; end;
name = _('LeftPortrait');
Description = 'Two monitor configuration with MFCDs on Left screen. Resolution 3328x1080'
Viewports =
{
Center =
{
x = 769;
y = 0;
width = 2560;
height = screen.height;
viewDx = 0;
viewDy = 0;
aspect = 2560/screen.height;
}
}

Gui =
{
x = 769;
y = 0;
width = 2560;
height = 1080;
}

UIMainView = Gui


LEFT_MFCD =
{
x = 150;
y = 20;
width = 500;
height = 500;
}

RIGHT_MFCD =
{
x = 150;
y = 540;
width = 500;
height = 500;
}
