Dual Monitor Control

I recently bought PB G4 1.67. I needed software or utility to control my PB screen and external Monitor (Dell 20"). Right now I am able to use both of the displays by dragging the window to the external monitor. I am looking for software that would display menu on both the screen depending on what application window I have on the screen i.e. Safari, Firefox...
I have a software call UltraMon for PC, witch I love.
Is there a software or utility like UltraMon for OS 10.4.3
I have searched on this forum and on the web, I could not find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I believe it has nothing to do with Flash but with the
advanced settings
of your video card

  • Controlling resolution on dual monitor configurations

    We have a situation where we use a screen capture process that is having trouble when someone plugs in a dual monitor to a Macbook (Air, I think, but it applies elsewhere). The resolution on the external monitor ends up being higher than our screen capture device can handle, and causes it to crash.
    Is there a way to control or limit the resolution of the monitor(s) in (and out of) dual configuration?
    Thank you.

    I have a question about compatibility of monitors of different resolution. Currently I have an iMac 24 inch set to the maximum resolution 1920 x 1200. My second monitor is a large Hewlett-Packard which is currently set at resolution 1050 x 1680. It can be set as high as 1344 x 1008. If I move the Hewlett-Packard to another resolution I get the message that the input signal is out of range and asked me to return it to the setting 1050 x 1680.
    Now to my question: I am considering getting the 27 inch iMac which has a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1440. My question is am I going to be able to use a 27 inch screen with the Hewlett-Packard second monitor without turning down the resolution on the 27 inch iMac? By the way the Hewlett-Packard monitor is a W2207H. Is the HP monitor going to work with that much difference in resolution?
    I apologize if this is a naïve question but I just want to make sure that if I do upgrade I will not lose the services of my second monitor.
    Thanks

  • Mission Control Dual Monitors moving windows between desktops

    So far I like the new Mission Control however I am having what I beleive to be an issue.
    I have a dual monitor setup and multiple Desktops configured. If I want to move a window from Primary Monitor Desktop 1 to Primary Monitor Desktop 2 it works but if I want to move a window from Primary Monitor Desktop 1 to Secondary Monitor Desktop 2 it will not let me. I have to do the move in two steps. First I have to move it to Primary Monitor Desktop 2 and then from there I can move it to Secondary Monitor Desktop 2 ?
    Please can someone verify this ? Is this a limitation or a bug ?

    Hehe, Linux+Compiz rulezzz. You can tweak it the way YOU need and not Apple think you should do 'cause they "just knows better what market needs"
    My ideal setup on Linux workstation was: 2 Graphics Cards, 4 Monitors, 2 of them fixed, so I could put there applications and windows which should be permanently seen, for example -- Zenoss monitoring dashboard (screen 1) and stocks tickers (screen 2)
    Screen 3 and 4 respectively were part of the Compiz Cube with Xinerama activated, e.g. one extra wide desktop across 2 monitors, seen as semi-transparent Cube during transitions between 4 virtual destops, so I could almost immediately see where all my windows are.
    And now, Apple, could you tell me, If I've got Mac Pro with 2 Graphics Cards and 4 Monitors, is such a setup feasible with Mission Control?... OK, ok, you don't have such an eycandy as Transparent Compiz Cube, I could survive without, but having simultaneously 2 monitors as part of virtual desktop and 2 others fixed is absolut 'a must have', so, now's your turn... HOW?

  • ARD and controlling box with dual monitors!

    My workstation at home has dual monitors,
    when I connect to it with ARD both monitors are displayed, which means the window looks very wide, small and funny.
    You can hardly see anything either.
    (they are both highres)
    I only need to see one monitor when I connect with ARD. Is there anyway I can get that working?

    You can set ARD to view all screens at once or at real screen resolution. Click the 'Fit Screen in Window' icon (looks like an X with arrow points and a diamond in the middle).
    I have had some issues with my Multi-screen machines colors displaying oddly while in 'Fit Screen in Window' mode, but turning it off fixes the issue and lets you auto scroll around like virtual Desktop.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do I setup a dual monitor (ATI fglrx with KDE)?

    Hi, I'm trying to setup a dual monitor.. I connected with DVI to DVI and after restarting X the second monitor becomes a mirror/clone of the first (original laptop screen). However, I don't want it to be mirrored. I only want to have windows I drag over to it on the second monitor. How do I do that? In Control Center>Display, I can only choose settings for screen 1, I don't know why it can't find my 2. screen (even though X does).
    Here's xorg.conf (I would appreciate if I could stick to only configuring it in Control Center though):

  • How to enable a dual monitor mode

    I have a MSI FX52000 VTD-128 board which suppose to support a dual monitor mode. It has D-Sub analog, DVI and VIVO connectors.
    Would it be possible to connest primary monitor to DVI and secondary to analog output or only Video Out can be used for the secondary monitor?

    Have you installed the latest "Forceware" Drivers?...I think MSI's 52.70's are great...How you should go about setting up for two displays is to go into NVIDIA Driver Control Panel>trouble shooting>Click on the "Detect Displays" Button after you connect the other monitor ...Sean REILLY875

  • Dual Monitor Support

    Not sure if this one can be anwsered yet, but curious to know if there is a way to hook up dual monitors on the new Mac Pro cylinders?  I don't mean just mirroring either. I have worked with dual monitors for a very longtime. One I use for my workspace and the other I use for tool palettes. I see that there is only one HDMI port on the new computers and I use DVI monitors. I really don't want to have to buy new monitors if I get one of these.

    DVI can be converted to/from HDMI with a simple "all wires" adapter or cable.
    Mini DisplayPort can fall back to DVI mode by asserting a control lead on the Interface, so another simple adapter.
    ThunderBolt display mode is fully compatible with Mini DisplayPort.
    So with the right adapters, you should be able to get six displays working.

  • Dual Monitor Setup/Home Network/Sync--11" MBA & 21.5" iMac via Thuderbolt cable?

    11" MBA & 21.5" iMac both purchased in August 2011 running Lion
    Is it possible to setup my MBA & iMac where they will sync?  I have them connected via thinderbolt and want to be able to connect when I get home and sync all my folders [notes, cases, papers, etc...]? 
    If this is not possible is there a way to transfer files between my two machines using the Thunderbolt cable?  I ask because even though my MBA has a Thunderbolt port, there is not "Fire Wire" option under "System Preferences →Network" like there is on my iMac?
    In a perfect world I want to be able to hook up my MBA & iMac via Thunderbolt cable, have them both controlled by my Magic Mouse & Keyboard I use with my iMac as dual monitors and be able to transfer files back and forth freely.  I understand this may be a lot to ask but thought I should throw it out there just in case there was a way and I was not doing something right.

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.

  • Dual Monitor Setup S5-1070t

    I am trying to connect a second monitor to my HP S5-1070t desktop  It has an AMD Radeon HD 6450 graphics card installed which was ordered with the computer.  This card has a DVI and an HDMI port on it.  My main monitor is an HP 2011x connected to the DVI port on the card.  I am attempting to connect a Compaq Q1859 monitor to the HDMI port using an HDMI to VGA adapter.  I updated the AMD Calalyst Control Center to Version 2013.0328.2218.38225.  When I run Detect Displays it only shows my HP2011x display.
    I scanned through the previous dual monitor questions but I didn't find anything related to my problem.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    GL Rowe

    Here are the original specs and configurable options for your HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1070t CTO Desktop Computer. Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion 2011x WLED backlit monitor and your Compaq Q1859 Widescreen LCD monitor. According to the specs, the 2011x monitor supports both DVI-D and VGA video input connectors, while the Q1859 only supports a VGA video input connector.
    You stated the s5-1070t with HD 6450 graphics card supports both HDMI and DVI video outputs but you didn't indicate which type of DVI it is. DVI comes in DVI-I (both analog and digital), DVI-A (analog only), and DVI-D (digital only). Please review this Wikipedia DVI article to determine which type is on your card or post a photo of the ports on the card.
    You also indicate you are using a HDMI-to-VGA adapter. There is no way way to "adapt" a digital HDMI signal into an analog VGA signal short of using an expensive digital-to-analog converter. These converters normallly run in the hundreds of dollars and don't always produce good results. Until the monitors are correctly connected without this "so-called" adapter, the computer is only going acknowledge one monitor.
    If, and only if, the Radeon HD 6450 supports HDMI and DVI-I, you can connect both monitors as follows and both monitors will work;
    Computer ---> HDMI-to-DVI-D (digital) cable ---> HP 2011x Monitor
    Computer ---> DVI-to-VGA dongle ----> VGA cable ---> Compaq Q1859 Monitor

  • Dual monitor setup problems... help.

    Hi all,
    (Arch 0.8 & NVIDIA drivers)
    I'm having some troubles setting up a dual monitor set-up on my machine... every time I save the settings after configuring them in the NVIDIA control panel they don't seem to save when I start the OS!  I've also messed with the config file, so how do I set it back.  At the mo it picks up the CRT monitor only & not the LCD.
    There are Two monitors hooked to it, one LCD (main DVI) & the other CRT (to the right of the LCD).  I want the LCD one to be the primary one.

  • Dual monitor setup without using the ADC?

    Would it be possible to run a dual monitor setup using a DVI splitter cable from my (2009)Mac Pro?
    I've seen some old forums referring to the 2006 models saying that this wouldn't work and instead you'd get the same image on both screens but the newer Mac Pros state they have "Dual-Link DVI ports".
    Just wondering whether this means what I think it means and you can connect two monitors via a dual link cable and get essentially, two monitors running independently as opposed to the same thing on both??
    Hope it's staightforward and me just being slow.

    The GT120 features one Dual Link DVI-I port and one Mini DisplayPort .
    The DVI-I is Dual Link capable, and also can be directly adapted to VGA.
    Single-Link DVI is a serial interface that carries three data bits in each signaling interval, as well as control signals. In general, Single-Link supports displays up to 1920 wide. Dual Link DVI is the same except that it carries six data bits in each signaling interval, supporting displays over 1920 wide.
    DVI screen drawing is very similar to VGA screen drawing, and the data sent are digital "scan lines" left-to-right row data, top-to-bottom with entire screen data sent about every 60 Hertz. Analog VGA signals are sent at the same time on a separate set of pins.
    DisplayPort and its Mini variant are inherently a packet interface, but can be coerced to produce a "Dual Mode" signal that approximates Single-Link DVI. Getting Dual-Link DVI or VGA from DisplayPort interface requires a non-trivial converter than contains chips and requires power.
    Executive Summary:
    If you have one display that is wider than 1920 or VGA, attach to the DVI-I connector with an appropriate cable.
    Running a Mini DisplayPort display from the Mini DisplayPort requires only a cable.
    Single-Link DVI can be had from the Mini DisplayPort with a cheap adapter.
    Dual-Link DVI or VGA requires an expensive Active Powered converter which can cost US$100.

  • T510 dual monitors no longer working properly

    I have a T510 running Win7 64-bit.  For at least 3 years, I have had the same dual monitor setup (2 DoubleSight DS-1900S) running off my minidock with the laptop closed.  The rgith monitor is the primary, running off the DVI port, while the left uses the analog port.  I was away for a week at Scout camp, powered on the system once while I was there, and when I came back to the office, my monitor setup started failing. 
    Specifically, the right screen is active but it no longer displays the signal being sent to it.  When I powercycle the screen, I can see the display for about a quarter of a second, then it goes blank.  When the problem first started, I could cycle it about 20 times and eventually it would stay on, until I left the unit overnight and it went to sleep, at which point the probelm started again.
    Sounds like a wonky monitor?  I have a backup set of monitors that I swapped in, and had the same exact problem, so that appears to rule out a mechanical defect.  More fun facts: I can only use the laptop screen as a standalone display.  I cannot get the multidisplay control panel to open, even though my left screen is powered up.  However, one of my programs that normally launches to my right (main) screen will still launch, but not to my laptop screen.  It really wants to live on my right screen, even when that screen is not powered on (I can close the program by accessing the icon bar at the bottom of my laptop screen).
    As you might surmise, this is an extremely frustrating situation.  I have gone on many trips with this laptop, and each time I returned, I either plugged it into the minidock with no issues, or I had to readjust my power settings briefly to get it to work as per usual.  This time, I have no clue what went wrong.  Suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have not changed any software or drivers (knowingly), and I had already checked the cables to make sure they were all tight, so off I went to ransack the house to dig out the spare cables.  DVI cable? no change.  Power cable? no change.  Converter cable - OMG!!!!  IT WORKS!!!!
    Thank you SO much!  I could have sworn this was a software issue, never considered a bad cable or power unit.
    Both monitors are working properly, left-to-right scroll is working properly.  Now all I need is to figure out how to get all my icons/shortcuts back onto the right screen...

  • Bridge CS3 & ACR with dual monitors

    Question: In a dual-monitor Windows XP setup, how do I control which monitor ACR opens on when opened from Bridge?
    Background: In my workflow, I use Bridge to open small batches of DNGs in ACR. What I want is to have Bridge on monitor #2 (uncalibrated), but have ACR open on monitor #1 (calibrated). At first I had Bridge opening on #1 and couldn't get ACR to open on #2. Then I figured out how to move ACR to #2, but now it always opens on #2, regardless of where Bridge is. How to fix?
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Okay, I think I've figured out how this works, although (1) the way it appears to function is exactly opposite to how I think it should function, and (2) I still can't figure out how to fix it.
    If I open ACR from Bridge on the primary monitor (#1 for short, as designated in Windows XP), ACR will open on the primary monitor by default. If I leave Bridge on the primary monitor but move ACR to the secondary monitor (#2 for short), ACR will continue to open on #2. If, however, I move Bridge to #2, there is no way to get ACR to open on #1; no matter what I do, it will always open on #2. If I then move Bridge back to #1, ACR might open on either monitor. If it continues then to open on #2 the only way to force it to move back to #1 is to open Photoshop on #1 and then open ACR from Photoshop.
    First of all, it's stupid that I can't tell ACR to open wherever I want it to. But it is particularly stupid that one cannot make ACR open on #1 unless Bridge is also open on #1. The reason is that Windows XP only has native support for color calibration on the primary monitor (#1). If I'm using Bridge and ACR next to each other, I naturally care more about color calibration in ACR, where I'm actually editing photos, than I do in Bridge. Yet it is impossible to get ACR to open on the calibrated monitor! This can only be described as a bug, albeit one that won't get fixed due to the age of XP and CS3.
    (Yes, I am aware that Microsoft makes a control-panel plugin that supposedly allows calibration of both monitors, but I have been unable to get it to work correctly. By all accounts it is somewhat fragile, doesn't offer support for all dual-monitor graphics cards, there isn't a list of cards it does and doesn't support, and Microsoft doesn't even offer support for the plugin. Way to go, Microsoft.)

  • Thinkpad W520 with Minidock+ Series 3 - Dual monitors and USB fail sporadical​ly

    Hello there,
    I wonder if anyone has experienced problems ThinkPad W520 and Mini Dock Plus Series 3 (Part number: 433830U)? I run into problems with dual monitor and USB devices.
     For dual monitor setup, sometimes only a single monitor is detected, sometimes no monitors are available in the NVidia control panel. Rigorous display detection doesn't help. Disabling Optimus in BIOS doesn't seem to affect it. After I dock and undock couple of times, reboot, unplug the power cord, it seems to resolve and both monitors work fine.
    Also, I run into troubles with USB devices (keyboard/mouse). Sometimes they are not detected at all, but if I plug them into different USB ports on the mini dock, they are detected and work fine.
    For me this problem happens about 50% of the time when I dock... Any ideas, insights or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Could it be a faulty Thinkpad, docking station or may be both? I really to upgrade next time to W530, but I've been through so many problems with W520, so I don't know if it's a good idea...
    Thanks so much.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If system update isn't finding anything, and the system works just fine on its own, it could potentially be a faulty Dock.
    It could be overloaded.  Could you try testing the dock using just one monitor, and no keyboard or mouse, to see if you run into the same issue.  It would still be a faulty dock, but it may be a potential workaround for the time being.

  • Question about dual-monitor setup - advanced dock + PCIe card

    I just got a Z60t at work. I had been using a dual monitor setup, but it doesn't look like my current config is going to fly w/ the new machine. Anyway, here's what I've got:
    Primary monitor: Acer AL2416W (1920x1200 DVI)
    Secondary monitor: Dell 1901FP (1280x1024 VGA)
    I've read that the advanced dock might be able to let me use this setup with the Z60t if i put a PCIe video card in it. So here are my questions:
    1. Will the advanced dock + PCIe video card allow me to run the two monitors listed above (I don't use the laptop screen at all)?
    2. Which PCIe cards are compatible with the advanced dock?
    3. Can I achieve the same resolutions with the advanced dock + PCIe card?
    4. Will I need to split the VGA output, or can i use VGA + DVI like I do now (since the Z60t has no native DVI support)?
    thanks!

    Gary -- don't turn on the OS Display Mirroring.  Turn it off.
    You want Aperture to control how it uses your dual monitors.  (You do not want the OS to determine it.)
    Once you've turned off the OS "Display Mirroring", the set-up I specified above should give you what you want.
    That set-up is:
    "View → Main Viewer → {anything}", and
    "View → Secondary Viewer → Alternate"
    You must have the Viewer active (not the Browser) in order to change the "Secondary Viewer" setting.  If you are in the Browser, activate the Viewer by double-clicking an Image.
    Let me know if that doesn't work.

Maybe you are looking for
