Description

My issue is when I want to create an output window on the hdmi output by using this code :

`int main( ){

ofAppEGLWindow::Settings settings;
settings.width = 400;
settings.height = 480;
settings.setPosition(ofVec2f(0,0));
settings.screenNum = 5;

ofCreateWindow(settings);
ofRunApp( new ofApp());
`

The window appears on the LCD display and not the hdmi output.

I placed an oflognotice in the ofAppEGLWindow.cpp, line 394, in the ofAppEGLWindow::setup(const Settings & _settings) and it returns 0 as its setting.screenum value.

I use a RPI 2 with oF 0.9.0

I posted about it in the forum

Regards.

Research direction

Inspect ofAppEGLWindow.cpp around line 394 and the ofAppEGLWindow::setup(const Settings&) entry point, using the supplied ofCreateWindow example on an RPI 2 with oF 0.9.0. Verify how settings.screenNum is received and whether the window is placed on the HDMI output rather than the LCD display.
