Multi-Monitors in Linux total fail
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with 3 monitors, across 2 video cards.
All that happens when running the game, is two monitors flash black, one returns to normal, the other is resized, but the "old" content is still visible, if I wait for around 10 seconds music starts.
The mouse can be moved around all 3 screen no problem.
Pressing any key on the keyboard results in music stopping and two monitors flashing black and then going back to how it was before the game was run.

Try editing your ~/.vendetta/config.ini file to manually put it into windowed mode. Fullscreen on multi-monitors just doesn't work out right.
What I do is run it in windowed mode, and then use my window manager to fullscreen the window (Alt-F11 in IceWM). That way the WM only fullscreens it to one monitor, and the game still considers itself in windowed mode. I have to do some funny business in the config.ini file to make this work out though.

Also, if you use a compositing system like Compiz, disable it before trying to play. They are known to interfere with the game.

NosajDraw, what video driver are you using? Nvidia?
@abortretryfail - Yes, Nvidia
@Pizzasgood - Looked at the post you pointed me at, but I don't see any option to start in window mode. I also cannot see any entries in config.ini for
window_xsize=
window_ysize=
I can find
xsize=
ysize=
windowmode=
xf86vidmode=

Oh, I didn't link to the post to show you how to change to window mode, I linked to it in case you needed the xf86vidmode part like I do. To change to window mode, you set "windowmode" to 1.
You'll also probably need to set xsize, ysize, xres, and yres to the values you want to use. I don't know if xres and yres show up in the file by default. If they don't, just add them in the [Vendetta] section.
