Can setup somehow designate which Monitor the game plays in fullscreen?

I have a laptop, a tablet laptom, on it's side with the screen settings rotated 90 degrees.
I have a flat screen lcd monitor ( a samsung synchmaster 191T attatched ,which I use as my main monitor.

when I test my AGS game in fullscreen.. it ALWAYS goes to my laptop monitor and displays it sideways (the default rotation display level) .. i've tried busting up the resolution to 1024-768 then pressing the rotate button on the laptop's exterior... doesn't work.
until i press it again and the image is upside down.

I was thinking that it was obviously due to the fact that the game is by default played on the "primary" monitor.. selected in display settings.

I cannot  change my LCD monitor to be my primary monitor.. because it's just an add on monitor to the laptop.. it wont allow that.

wintermute games let you choose which monitor is used to display in the setup exe.. to launch the game.

can or will AGS allow a selection for which monitor or "graphics card output" is used to display on??

this would help ALOT

because i want to test alot of things in fullscreen that I cannot test in windowed mode.


and yeah a simple solution would be to just turn my monitor back 90 degrees...

but its a much smaller screen and the way i have my computer set up right now.. is just not conducive to that sort of arrangement.


just wondering


thanks

Currently AGS always uses the Primary Monitor. It would be possible to add something to the Setup program to let this be changed, but is it something that anybody else would find useful?
