Dual screen setup question with G4 17" and 23" Cinema!

I have a 23" Cinema display connected to my G4 17" laptop. I can't figure out how to run an Aperture slideshow on the 23" screen when hooked into my laptop and leave the main screen intact on the 17". It seems to always run on the laptop screen regardless of what settings I have used. The 23" works great in every other situation with Aperture.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I guess you have to set your 23" display as your primary display in System Preferences (dragging the Finder menu bar onto your 23" display) .
This might interfere with your wish to "leave the main screen intact on the 17".

X crashes on startup with AMD dual screen setup

Ever since I bought my AMD Kaveri A10-7850K at the end of January last year I've been having trouble getting a dual screen setup to work properly. Initially I put this down to poor beta drivers, and as I had far too much going on to investigate the issue further beyond some fiddling with xorg.conf, I bought an AMD A4-4000 as a temporary solution while waiting for the Catalyst drivers to catch up.
In June last year I decided to give my A10-7850K another go, assuming that the Catalyst driver would have matured enough in the meantime to cater for the Kaveri processors. Unfortunately the situation was still the same, and I I didn't have the time nor want to be swapping processors all constantly to I decided to just give up on a dual monitor setup for the time being.
After many years of using two screens, however, it is very hard to get used to a single monitor again, and as January is a quiet month for me I decided today to have another at getting it to work properly.
My setup is as follows:
an LG LG 23EA63V connected via HDMI as my main monitor at 1920x1080
a Viewsonic VP-171b connected via DVI as my secondary monitor at 1280x1024
AMD A10-7850K APU
Catalyst 14.12-1 drivers installed from Vi0l0's repo
Xorg 1.15 installed from Vi0l0's repo
KDE 4.14.3 using kwin
KDM is launched using kdm.service
KMS disabled via nomodeset
fglrx module loaded on boot via cat /etc/modules-load.d/catalyst.conf
Tear free rendering enabled
After plugging in my secondary monitor configuring it in amdcccle to be to the right of my primary moniotor in multi-display desktop mode, everything works correctly. This even works in my preferred setup where the secondary monitor is rotated into portrait mode, although I currently have not configured rotation so as to not overcomplicate the troubleshooting.
Upon rebooting, however, X hangs with a static white cursor in the top left hand of both screens, which after a while disappears completely. I then have to unplug the secondary (DVI) monitor and hard reset the PC before I can boot into my desktop again. The bizarre thing is though that when I plug in my secondary monitor again and configure it as desired, either through amdcccle or krandr, everything works perfectly again.
This is, of course, an incredibly cumbersome way of working, especially when most of the time I forget to disconnect my DVI monitor prior to turning on my PC, hence me just making do with a single monitor for the past 7 months.
I did a complete fresh install of Catalyst yesterday (uninstall drivers, delete remaining config files, reinstall drivers from repo), to no avail.
Output from xrandr after rebooting with the secondary monitor disconnected:

I have a dual-screen setup - Workspace Layout Panels - not functioning properly.

I have a dual-screen setup and since updating to 10.10.2, the panels open on the main screen - and not in the positions as they were saved in a Workspace layout.
Tried trashing the prefs - which works, but when I save a new Workspace layout, it does the exact same thing.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Christopher,
This is a known issue and the product team is working with Apple to address it. Stay tuned.
Thanks,

ITunes startup reinitializes dual screen setup

Dear all,
as a dual screen setup, I have a MacbookPro7,1 (late 2010 Core2Duo 2,4GHz 13" model, OSX 10.6.6) attached to a NEC MultiSync LCD2690WUXi via DVI-I, using the digital signal flow. I am not using display mirroring. The resolution of the external LCD2690WUXi is 1920x1200@60Hz.
Everything works fine and "as expected" until I start iTunes.
Doing this, both the MacBookPro and the external NEC monitor blank for a short time, as if the MacBook would reinitialize the displays. After doing so, I get the correct resolution on both screens back again, but all windows have now moved to the main screen and decreased in their size, so the dual screen arrangements are lost during this phase. I have to manually put everything back in place, which is highly annoying.
I suspect this behavior might also relate to QuickTime being part of iTunes?
If you have any ideas, please share your knowledge or experience with me.
Kind regards,
Jens

The only solution (well, it's not really a solution, it's a miserable workaround) was to exchange the assingment of the primary and the scondary display, including all the negative side effects you can imagine.
Hopefully Firefox will gain a higher grade of intelligence one day.

MSI 6600 256 dual screen card problem with saving window locations

Hi,
We are running the dual screen setup for this card. We can't seem to find the place where you tell the video card to save windows postions. Everytime we close the app the window goes back to primary monitor location.
I know that older msi cards can save the window location. Can someone tell me how to access this feature using the msi 6600?
Thanks,
Scott

Most likely a driver bug, what drivers? And from where?
You could go to nVidia and read the PDF Documentation and manuals that come with each driver release. nVidia Drivers
Could even go here and browse the folders ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/ You'll see user guides in PDF format.

[SOLVED] Best DE for dual screen setups?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is the best DE for a dual screen setup on Arch? Also, can I just use the standard xrandr method to be able to drag windows between screens, if not, what do I do?
Many thanks.

Have you tried a safe start by holding the shift key when you boot? If that works, and it can take a while to complete, see if a regular boot now works. If it does, you need to free up space on your hard drive.
If a safe boot doesn't work, you need to either boot from an OS X DVD or go into target disk mode to connect via firewire cable to another mac to free up space on your hard drive. You need 5GB min, with 10% to 15%, or more, better, for systems usage. If you have a backup, move some data files to it, erase them and empty the trash.

Dual screen on intel with compiz

Hi all
I've been trying to get compiz to work with dual screen on my fully updated Arch Linux laptop for a while now. It has an Intel card and I usually set up dual screen by using xrandr. This works perfectly under metacity but crashes X under compiz. If I try to set dual screen as the default in the gnome menu and then restart X, I get it under compiz but unusably slow. I have searched google but haven't been able to find a solution. I have reproduced this problem on two different intel based laptops. Has anyone been able to get a working dual monitor setup with compiz on Intel?

Two specific problems and two other questions with Razr Maxx and ICS

Like everyone else, I dl'd ICS this weekend and I've (re)setup things which were there and navigated around fairly well. However, I've noticed a few things to which I can't find an answer.
1.) I have my phone locked via an onscreen password. Before ICS (i.e with GB), when I typed the password, it would not flash the letters/numbers in blue (or whatever color) above the keys as I typed. Now it does. Where do I find the setting so it doesn't?
2.) I have Verizon and before ICS, when I'd send a text to a non-Vzn. user, I'd always get a 'broken' arrow and the delivery was always "Pending" (even though most of the time they actually received the message). When I'd send a text to a Vzn. user, a 'solid' arrow would appear and the Report would show "Received".
Now, no matter if they're a non-Vzn. or a Vzn. user, it never shows "Received". It always shows "Pending".
Is that a bug in the ICS or Vzn. or a combination of both (and does anybody else have that problem, and if so, is there a way to fix it)?
3.) On the top, where it shows '1X' (i.e. 2G), 3G or 4G/LTE, what's the difference between when it appears white color and a blue color?
One other thing - does anybody else notice the on-screen keyboard is different now?
Thanks for anyone's help - I appreciate it.

How to darken only one screen in a dual screen setup ??

Hi All,
I have a dual screen set-up probably like many of you and sometimes I prefer to use LR only on 1 screen. That allows me to work on Photoshop or read my emails or whatever else I'd prefer to do on the other screen. My dilemma is when in Lightroom & I press the letter L to darken the screen around my image, for better viewing, it also darkens the other screen that I'm working with. Is there a way to prevent both screens from darkening?? Thanks Ron
PS: Apologies if this has been addressed previously as I could not locate it

Thank you digitaldog, I didn't think so either

Msi R6570 dual screen setup

hi there,
maybe someone can help me... I currently own a msi radeon r6570 video card and on the rear output I ave a d-sub which I'm using for my initial display, the second is a dvi connecter which I have a dvi to d-sub adaptor for and an hdmi connector, now I'm wondering if I could get some help to set up a dual monitor on my card using the d-sub connector and the dvi port please.. I will be grateful for this help as I really could use dual screens to do my project work with.
thank you in advance and will await any help or advice available

NO... a DVI to VGA cable only takes the analogue pins (Only if it has a inline converter would that work) that are there and uses them but there being used by the VGA port that your direct D-Sub connection is utilizing so it will not work (it will be the same as a DVI-VGA adapter plug like you have already tried) you need a converter for a second analogue connection (VGA 15pin D-Sub) that can convert the digital signal to the needed VGA signal for your VGA monitor as the card has no unused Analogue lines...
that is the only way you can use 2 VGA (15pin D-Sub) connections as the card was not designed for 2 of them (like I said before it has 1 set of analogue connections (VGA 15pin D-Sub) and 2 digital 20-24pin digital lines so you need to convert a digital to analogue via a external circuit or your stuck with your other monitor being unusable)...
