Fullscreen & 2 monitors

My system has two monitors. The application allways opens and goes to full screen mode on the primary monitor. How to choose a monitor for full screen mode?

I can confirm this problem with JavaFX 2.0.2. No matter what you do, it is not possible to have fullscreen active (which hides the task bar in Windows for example) on a screen that is not the primary screen.
For example, setting fullscreen on, then moving it to a different location will cancel full screen. Moving it first to the correct location, then activating full screen will move it back to the primary screen.
Has this been reported as a bug, or is there a fix in the works?

Running fullscreen on monitors with different aspect ratios

I am trying to run a program in fullscreen on a projector. It works fine on my computer, but the background image appears stretched when I run it on a projector with a different aspect ratio. How can I run it as to prevent this?
This is how the code looks:
@Override
     public void start(Stage primaryStage)
          this.PrimaryStage = primaryStage;
          this.PrimaryStage.setFullScreen(true);
          ......which runs with this CSS file:
#background{
    -fx-background-image: url("background-full.png");
    -fx-background-repeat: stretch;
    -fx-background-position: center center;
    -fx-background-size: auto 100%;
    -fx-background-color: black;
}

Don't stretch the repeat
-fx-background-repeat: no-repeat;
AND
-fx-background-size: cover;
Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the smallest size such that both its width and its height can completely cover the background positioning area.
Or
-fx-background-size: contain;
Scale the image, while preserving its intrinsic aspect ratio (if any), to the largest size such that both its width and its height can fit inside the background positioning area.
Contain will provide a kind of letter box effect like watching an old 4:3 tv show a widescreen 16:9 TV.
Cover will fill the screen with the image bug clip some of the image if the screen and image aspect ratios don't match.

Watch fullscreen movie on 2nd monitor & work on my MBP @ the same time?

I hooked up a 2nd monitor to my MBP (mini to VGA) and figured out how to have an extended desktop. It's a little tricky adjusting where the pointer will be (I don't totally understand it, but with trial and error and lots of persistence, I finally got it to ALMOST be set up the way I'd like).
I have a movie (.avi file) playing on the 2nd monitor and I'm able to work on my MBP, but I can't figure out how to view the movie fullscreen because when I get the 2nd monitor fullscreen, my MBP screen goes fullscreen as well (and of course the dock and any form of control disappear as my MBP screen is just dark and blank).
Does anyone know the trick to getting the setup that I want? FULLSCREEN 2nd monitor to watch .avi files while working on my MBP???
I could really use some help on this one! THANK YOU, oh knowledgeable one(s) who reply!!!

You won't be able to do it with the included QuickTime media player. But it can be done with other media players like MPlayer or VLC I am pretty sure. Haven't had this exact need myself but have seen other similar threads and recall the above being recommended. Good luck.

Dual Screen monitor Question

I have desktop split across two monitors(1s a tv)
I've already setup Quicktime play in fullscreen on monitor two(tv) but I'd like to be able to have the second monitor turn off after a while when in fullscreen.
Is there any setting/plugin/app that'll do that for me?

Satellite A300 Win 7 64bit - ATI Radeon HD 3650 black fullscreen in games

Hello
I've got a problem, everytime I try to turn a game (and if its default window mode is fullscreen) my monitor goes all black and my pc just blocks there, there is no way to get out unless to manually shutdown the laptop (pressing the power button for 5secs).
However if I put the mode to windowed move, it works fine =/
I've already updated my drivers, and now I'm going to try the windows xp mode that was reccomended in this forum.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

Just adding, after a while of playing the video card stopped responding (according to a windows warning).
It seems it's my video card that is on its dying breath.

Having a bigger resolution than the native one?

Hi,
I own a Samsung NC10 netbook and on a conference a met a guy who own this, too . This poor guy uses Windows on his machine, but I have to admit that he used a feature that I find quite useful: When he connected his netbook to a projector and cloned the output, the resolution of the projector (1024*786 i guess) was higher than the one of the netbook (1024*600). What happened on his windows machine was that he could scroll to the bottom of the screen to see the missing 186 pixels that where shown in the silver screen but cut off on his LVCD.
When I (with Arch) use the NC10 on a projector I can only see the additional 186 pixels on the silver screen and I have no access to the bottom of the LVCD (what can be difficult when the silver screen is behind you ).
So, is it possible, to have this feature in Linux/Arch, too? To use a bigger resolution on the LVCD and "scroll" to the missing parts by moving the mouse to the edges of the screen?
I hope I explained this clearly - otherwise ask for more/other informations
Thanks!
barghest

Yes ,if you run
xrandr --fb 1024x768 --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x768 --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --pos 0x0
(LVDS1=the notebook's screen, VGA1=the beamer) you can scroll the internal panel up and down by moving the cursor to either edge while both outputs use 1024x768 and show the same thing. But this isn't really usable for presentations.
xrandr --output LVDS1 --scale 1x1.28 --output VGA1 --pos 0x0 --mode 1024x768
would stretch LVDS1 vertically to match the beamers resolution. But if you use KMS, --scale is currently broken, it just scales the background, nothing else. Example: Fedora Bug Report, the Arch version has the same problem.
Now, the modeline thingie:
You can calculate one using gtf x y R (x=horizontal width, y=vertical width, R=refresh rate). Running gtf 1024 600 60
results in
# 1024x600 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 37.32 kHz; pclk: 48.96 MHz
Modeline "1024x600_60.00" 48.96 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622 -HSync +Vsync
The quoted part is just the name to use in xrandr's --mode command, so i removed the _60.00 and included it in the monitor section of my xorg.conf among others (i.e. 640x480 is there so I can run Starcraft in fullscreen ):
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "LVDS1"
VendorName "ASUS"
ModelName "EeePC 1000H"
Modeline "1024x600" 48.96 1024 1064 1168 1312 600 601 604 622 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "800x600" 38.22 800 832 912 1024 600 601 604 622 -HSync +Vsync
Modeline "640x480" 23.86 640 656 720 800 480 481 484 497 -HSync +Vsync
EndSection
The X server adheres to these settings even if you're using KMS but I don't know if it does if you're using hotplugging because in this case these settings are intended to be generated automatically. I just use them because I don't want to use HAL. But trying to force a resolution bigger than the native one this way doesn't work for me.

Picture-refreshing frequency issue

Hello,
I got this problem: I display 3 different pictures in a sequence. Whole sequence last 1 second (0,3333 per picture) and is repeated continuously. While doing this, I've got some displaying issues - some white flahes occours on the pictures. This is easily visible, as pictures have black background. Those flashes appear as white stripes or fields oriented horizontally in different part of picture. I think this is some refreshing issue, but I'm not sure about it and don't know how to check it. I did not succeed at making print screen of those flashes, which I think confirm this is some displaying issue. I want to know what You guys think about it, if can it be solved, is this my hardware issue or some kind of LabVIEW limitation. I've checked it on 3 different displays (my laptop screen, my PC LCD screen, projector) with 50-60Hz refresh frequency and results were the same. I've tried with different picture resolutions and I think these flashes are more common in bigger pictures.
I attach all VI I use to display those images and some reference pictures for You to check if You too got this issue.
Few words about how this VIs work:
There are 2 VIs - controling one and displaying one. I need it this way as I want to have pictures displayed on second monitor while being able to adjust them from front panel on 1st monitor. So there is this Displaying VI which only displays images, and Controling VI which sets all parameters. To get it work, You need to open Displaying VI and make it run. Then You open either ControlingPredefine or ControlingGenerated, set:
Interval value (time between changing pictures, 333 is my case),
VI path (this should be path of Displaying VI)
monitor (0 - main screen, 1 - second screen if You have. I made it this way as I've been checking it with different monitor configurations (laptop only vs laptop + projector))
and run it. When set correctly Displaying Vi should be fullscreened on monitor set in monitor control and display 3 pictures in Interval
There are 2 Controling VIs:
Predefined works on existing jpg pictures chosen from hard drive (there are 3 additional path controls which need to be set before running)
Generated generates pictures in the real time, you can chose between 2 figures (circle/square) and set 3 sizes (each for each picture in sequence)
Stop button from Controling Vi stops both VIs (Controling and Displaying).
I attach 2 sets of pictures (small and big) made in paint.
My LabVIEW version is 2011
Solved!

Chudy,
I looked at the ControlingGenerated VI and do not see the flashes. I did add the Run VI node and similar changes. I tried it with your original Displaying VI and with one I modified to include a delay. When I set both delays to zero or very small values, it appears that the two images can get out of sync. I suspect that this is due to the screen update rate by the OS and not specifically something in the VI.
It really does not make any sense to update faster than the OS will write to the screens. The excess data will be ignored.
Similarly, you should separate the communications with the serial port from the screen updates. Look at the Producer/Consumer Design Patterns which come with LV. Read the serial port in a parallel loop which is dedicated to just that task. Typically queues are used to pass data from one loop to the other.
Here is a version I modified to use a queue and to call Displaying as a subVI rather than via an Invoke node. Notice that the Displaying VI no longer uses the Loop Terminator and that the timing is set by the Dequeue wait. The Displaying loop will run the same number of times and at the same average rate as the main loop.

I have just upgraded. AND now I can't view video fullscreen on my secondary monitor?!! Why!

I have a dual monitor set-up, with sharing. I am on a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5
I am viewing my Firefox window on my secondary monitor. (NOT Primary) When I click any video to full-screen it loads the full-screen on my primary monitor. When I click the window to full-screen (on my secondary monitor) it fills the primary monitor.
Before I upgraded, this morning, I could click the full-screen button and my video would appear on the secondary monitor. (The same monitor.) Before this morning, I could re-size the browser window to full-size and view it in my secondary monitor. (The same monitor!)
So, explain to me, why the change? Why is it when I click on a video to enter full-screen, or want to re-size a window to full-screen on my secondary monitor, it views on my primary monitor. Does this make any sense?
Why? Why would somebody want to browse on one monitor, want to watch something fullscreen, click a button and then watch it on another monitor? I just don't get it. Or why would someone be browsing in a window on one monitor, click full-screen, and want to browse in the same window on another monitor?
I am sitting here facing my secondary monitor (which I use as my art-board) and my primary monitor sits to my left. I mainly work from my secondary monitor, so when I am drawing, painting and designing my cursor doesn't 'run into' my dock features, calendar, ext. When browsing in Firefox my window is where it should be, in-front of me. So why would I want to watch a video or browse the web on my left? Why? Why would any developer or designer do this! Especially considering the second, non viewing screen is black! Which means my secondary monitor (in-front of me) is black.
When I click, view full-screen, whether video or resizing windows, whether it is my primary or secondary monitor, don't you think the screen should appear full-screen in the monitor I am using?! Right?! I mean somehow you calculated a way for Firefox to recognize which monitor to reopen in. So what's up? I didn't have this problem last week? So tell me . . . why can't I open a video in full-screen on my secondary monitor like I have been doing for years? Why am I even having to write a complaint about something I used to be able to do. AND NOW I CAN'T.
I just checked Safari. Wow. Look at that! When I want to view a video in full-screen in the appropriate monitor I can! Wow! I can actually click on my secondary monitor and it's recognizes I want to watch the video on the same monitor.
I used to be able to do this in Firefox. I guess it is time to give up on Firefox. And choose a company who understands user-perspective. Or at-least understands what an upgrade is.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

Slow video on external monitor in fullscreen

Hey guys,
I'm running a 24 inch cinema display external off the old generation Macbook. Recently, my 120 gb hard drive locked up and I had to replace it with a newer 500 gb drive (which I outfitted with the same software I had on my old drive). I used to be able to run movies full screen on my cinema display (with the old drive) with no problems. I could watch youtube and downloaded movies in full screen and full quality: life was awesome (with both displays, the laptop and the external, simultaneously running).
Now... full screen is awful. Its choppy and annoying to watch on the cinema display. They work fine when you shrink the video to half the size of the screen, but the quality suffers noticeably once you go past this limit.
Full screen DOES work on the laptop display, though. It just seems like an enormous waste of $600 to not use the external.
Does anyone know how I can rescue the fullscreen quality that I had in my old setup? It doesn't make sense that replacing my old hard drive with a new one (with superior memory capacity and speed) should hinder the utility of my external monitor.
Please help!

This is happening because video goes full screen on the primary display ..
to change follow these simple steps
* Open System Preferences
* Click on the Display icon
* Click on the ‘Arrangement’ tab
* Click and hold on the white bar at the top of the current primary display
* Drag the white bar across to the monitor you want to set as the new primary display for your Mac
I hope this helps

Watch fullscreen on an external monitor?

Hi,
I have a mid-2009 and later MBP. I am using an external display - connecting a Dell 2407WFP monitor using a DVI cable and a MiniDisplay to DVI adapter to my MBP.
I am trying to watch a flash-based video in a Safari window which I have dragged over to the external display, in FULLSCREEN mode. The flash video can be seen fullscreen, while my Chrome browser window can be seen in regular mode on my MBP. However, the moment I click anywhere on the Chrome window to type or anything, the Safari window in the external display goes from fullscreen into regular mode. Any time I type or click anywhere on my MBP, the fullscreen display becomes a regular display on the external monitor.
I tried doing this with the flash video in a Safari tab opened on the external display with other Safari windows on the MBP, but that didn't work either. I tried it with a Word document and other things on the external display, but nothing stay fullscreen on it.
Any suggestions?!?

I have the most current versions of Firefox, Safari and Chrome all installed as well as the latest version of Flash Player (as of today - 12/31/11) and I also cannot get the flash player windows to stay full screen when I click elsewhere on the main display.
The weird thing is, though, is that I can get it to work sometimes. It seems totally random and there isn't a fool-proof method to make it work every time, at least that I have found - but I can get it to do it occasionally.
I am trying to do this with NBA League Pass Broadband service. According to Adobe this is supposed to work as of v10.2, but so far it seems they haven't quite fixed it...
OSX 10.6.8, iMac 27" quad-i7, btw - if it matters.

Fullscreen video playback on external monitor (overlay problem?)

I want to watch videopodcasts via iTunes fullscreen on my external Monitor/TV. It works fine with Quicktime and WindowsMediaPlayer but iTunes doesn't play my Videos in Fullscreen on my external Monitor.
I had the idea it is because the overlay mode isn't siwtched on but I can't find where to setup the display mode of video playback in iTunes.
Can anybody help me?
Bernd.

oh, no...
i thouhght the iTunes Videoplayback would rely on Quicktime and thus it would be possible.
isn't there any other possibilty?

Fullscreen on one monitor, while working on the other?

Mac Pro running Maverick OSX. When I go into fullscreen with youtube on one monitor, and click anywhere on my secondary monitor: Youtube exits fullscreen.
I've tested this with another machine running OSX Mountain Lion. With Mountain Lion I can have one monitor in fullscreen while working in the other monitor.
Is there a way to do this with mavericks?
My secondary monitor is a Cintiqu 13, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

About the only thing you can do with Premiere is export out a sequence in the background while you continue working, then bring that back into Premiere and lay it down above the original sequence.
Of course, if you wish to continue working on the same sequence, this won't work.
Background rendering would be a very welcome addition to Premiere. Hell even Encore can do that.

Using fullscreen on my first monitor makes the other one gray

So when I go into fullscreen on my first monitor, the other one becomes gray (like the Mac OS X login screen, almost like this: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2011/183/2/e/linen_desktop_shaded_by_tbg10101- d3ksrb5.png).
It happens when i click the http://gyazo.com/e9d8ec2ecff4828a8465368de564ebcb small 2 arrows button on the top right of the window, and it also happens when I open some fullscreen programs. The only things this doesn't happen on and I still can click on stuff and do stuff on the other screen is League of Legends, fullscreen on Video players in Google Chrome and Safari (like youtube.com, twitch.tv etc)... ( By the way when i go into fullscreen on youtube or twitch in Safari and i click on my second motor the Dock and a white list on the top comes up on the full screened monitor (the one with Safari), this is very annoying and should eb fixed.)
How can i fix this problem with the gray screen on second monitor tho? This problem kinda ruins the purpose why you should have a second monitor...
Thanks for the help

Hello Kladdy
Check the settings In System Preferences to make sure that Displays have separate Spaces and that should make it to where when you go full screen, it will not be a blank window.
