I finally got around to getting an external monitor so i could play and watch minecraft at the same time. However, when I set it to extend display, minecraft is unplayable on the external monitor. It only has VGA and DVI, so i used an HDMI-DVI cord from my laptop to the monitor. Minecraft loads up perfectly fine, but once I get in game, the fps drops way low and it seems as though the sensitivity is crazy high (even setting it to 1% didn't make a difference). The confusing this is that everything else I have tried works on the second screen, such as internet browser and steam games. I have done multiple Google searches into this and have come up with nothing. Also worth note is that when I tried it on a different laptop it worked perfectly fine, so it seems to be a problem with my computer. Anyway, here are the specs, any help is appreciated:
FPS very low because your GPU's too weak to render Minecraft in a large external display while driving your laptop display at the same time. As for the sensitivity... I don't know... probably some glitch with the different sizes.
I have the same problem, and my external monitor is a lower resolution (but phsyically bigger) than my laptop. It's in the way Minecraft (actually Java) is handling the display drivers. I don't know the fix, and I'd lean toward the drivers rather than Minecraft/Java, but Jango is right, it's just Minecraft with the issue.
