Hotkey Features for multi monitor mode

I'm working with my T60 on docking station connection to 2 screens. When I want to switch the primary and secondary screens, the Hotkey Features package allows me to do so by pressing "Fn+Space".
The issue is that I'm using a docking station with regular keyboard that does not have a "Fn" key, so I need to open my laptop and do it from there. The other alternative is even more complex in the Intel driver display menu.
Is there a short and easy way to switch the place of my primary and secondary screens using the extended keyboard?

Hi wile_coyote,
Welcome to the forum!
I think best solution is buying a lenovo keyboard that comes with Fn key:- http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?GroupID=38&Code=55Y9003&current-category-id=E9ADAEB6787146E29B78400A33E7FE8A&&hide_menu_area=yes
Hope it helps.

Any 3rd party utilities that fix full screen mode for multi-monitor users?

I am a multi-monitor user. As multi-monitor users know, full screen mode is basically useless since if you try to go full screen on one monitor, it causes the other monitor to go blank and become unusable (at least with most programs). Are there any 3rd party utitilities or fixes for this?
Thanks

Spaces, which is what this functionality stems from, was limited in that it used your entire setup and switched all of the screens over; space to space. I never used spaces because I always had multiple monitors and I was always working with multiple apps simultaneously that I wanted to be able to reference while working on the others.
Now they call Spaces, "mission control" and changed the appearance of it, but the functionality remained the same, each workstation comprised all of your monitors, and would switch over all of them when switching to a new "Desktop".
Fullscreen apps wrongly assumes that it can take the functionality of the afformentioned MS/Spaces and use it for one app, negating the whole idea of why someone would have multiple screens (real estate to work with other applications).
If they stop considering multiple monitors as one Workspace, they can then make it so they are asynchronous "tablets" instead of one conjoined entity.
So, you say people have been asking about this for 2 years, I've been asking for this for 5!
The issue here is, the only answer is to not use it. Making Mission Control and Fullscreen apps completely ignored by people like us, where I could be using both functions to glide around my work station and three monitors, mixing and matching which apps I want to be viewed on each separate monitor, to perform one single task; together.
It would actually reward people who wanted to utilize Thunderbolt technology and have more then one monitor.
There is no telling why apple chose to push out something that would only support the casual user, with one display, but the only direct way to let apple know that we feel limited by the OS is to send feedback. Even though it seems that we are powerless in this situation, I hope that they do consider how to make this function better.

I would like to set a block feature for Firefox Safe Mode. I can't figure out how to do this on McAffee. Help please.

I found out that my boys can get into 'safe mode' which bypasses all blocks. I went to my McAfee home page and can't figure out how to block this browser. Can you tell me how??? THANKS!

Create a contact for yourself either in the phone app or the contacts app. Then go - Settings > General > Siri > My Info > Set your contact.

Taping feature for Multi state object.

Good Day Team,
I am try to create a Multistae object in which when you get to that page and tap it it goes to the next slide and pause and tap again next etc.
Now I know you can swipe to the next image but I want to know if there a feature in which when you tap it, it goes to the next slide with in that multistate object.
Thanks

Put a large button in each state that goes to the next state.
You could probably get away with one large button covering the MSO itself but I’m not a fan of doing that.

ATI card + OS driver + multi monitor

Hello everyone,
I'm stuck configuring the RadeonHD drivers for multi monitor setup. The system starts with both screens cloned; logging in is in clone mode too. After that the second display is being turned of (no signal). Using xrandr --auto will enable the second display to life and clones the sreen again. xrandr --output DVI-I_1/analog --left-of DVI-I_2/analog will create a big desktop only the second display can only be used for a half screen mouse will go further anything else will not.
I've started with a autogenerated, by xorg, xorg.conf file and tweaked to the one below

Is the multi shoots feature for the new iso 7 camera supports iphone 5 or just the 5S

The 10 fps burst mode will only be available on the iPhone 5s. I believe all of the other features for sharpening photos from multiple shots are iPhone 5s only as well.

[Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
With Internet Explorer it is still working.

== Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.
Tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with:

Multi Monitor - different Screeen Saver for different monitor - Setting for notebook computers...

Hi,
I have a question about the multi monitor, screen saver setting for Windows 7. I'd like to know 2 questions.
1.) if I can set different screen saver settings on different monitors
2.) If I can do it, can I work on the external (or non-primay) monitor, when I have the primary monitor with "blank" screen saver?
Basically, I put my notebook computer at the docking station at work, and the docking station is connected to a 22" monitor, desktop keyboard and mouse. So, at work, the 22" monitor and K/B would be my primary use. However, I still "flip"
open the notebook monitor for dual monitor use.
I'd like to "save" the notebook monitor when I don't use it for 30 min. or so... I'd like to "power" it off or set it so that it would only turn on if I move my mouse to that screen.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks

Hi
There isn't any way to do what you are describing.
The reason is that both monitors have the same source for the video. You can extend the video to the second monitor, but this just gives you more screen space.
The screen saver will only display on the monitor that is set as the default and when the screen saver starts, the other monitor will be blank.
Hope this helps.
Thank You for using Windows 7

I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

Hotkey Features Integration for Windows

Hello,
I have a W530 with win 7 64 bit installed. Some time ago I mistakenly uninstalled Hotkey Features Integration for Windows using the windows 7 control panel.
I would like to install it again. Can someone please confirm the correct program is the following? http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w53...
Also please advise if this is easy to install ( I am not an expert) and if there are any potential issues if I install it.

Go to Solution.

If "On Screen Display" is the only thing you uninstalled, then the Hotkey package is the only one you need.

Multi-cam mode will not cut to other camera any more, Just goes doink when you hit the the button for the other camera

In multi-cam mode it will not change cameras anymore. even if you go to multi-cam window and click directly on the other angle it just goes doink. It was working just fine until I needed to use the audio from the other cam. It also had trouble doing that. I am using fc studio 2.

Bring multiclip to TL. Load into viewer. Go to Sync and select open; at the same time make your angle switching choices for audio and video. Play from TL and switch angles in the viewer.
Good luck.

I am going to downgrade my kernel to 2.6.35.
Hey all,
I have a severe system failure when trying to set my wlan chipset into monitor mode - works with backtrack 4, which still uses 2.6.30 I guess
reproduce with:
Atheros AR9285 chipset on ArchLinux w/ Kernel 2.6.36 , drivers are standard ath9k which come with Arch Linux
airmon-ng start wlan0 <channel>
"panic occured, switching to console mode.." or something, after a long output, which doesnt get logged, supposedly..
might be related to:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=104231
although ifconfig wlan0 up works without any problems..
what can I do? downgrading my kernel to 2.6.30, or installing other drivers?
I have to admit I'm not a power user when it comes to kernel and drivers stuff.. but willing to learn.
Thank you

I can't help you, but I had a problem with kernel 2.6.36.1-3, too. I got a kernel panic, when I tried to boot. Only thing I could do was to revert to kernel 2.6.35.x. That happened on my big pc, not on my netbook. Maybe he didn't like my amd cpu, who knows.

Multi Seat Mode - Multiple X Servers on 1 Machine

I need to configure a SunBlade 2000 configured with an XVR1000 graphics board to be used by 2 people simultaneously with the own keyb & mouse.
To summarize :
1 Sun Blade 2000
1 Xvr1000
First Port connected to one monitor /dev/fbs/gfb0a
Second Port Connected to a second monitor /dev/fbs/gfb0b
2 Keyb & 2 mouse connected to the 4 USB ports
The 2 monitors must be handled by to istances of X server (2 dtlogin prompt) so the 2 people can work
indipendently.
I tried the following procedure with NO success.
Does anybody can help me ?
Thanks in advance

=============================================================================
In recent versions of Solaris, the Xsun keyboard & mouse DDX modules
have been extended to support multiple keyboards and mice on Solaris.
The Xorg server on Solaris x86 has similarly been extended to support
multiple mice, but not yet multiple keyboards.
Unfortunately, this is not a very well documented feature, though it is
supported - but you must pay close attention to the configuration
instructions and Limitations described below.
There are currently two choices for configuring X on a machine with
multiple input devices:
* One X server with the extra devices available via the X Input
extension (commonly used for accessibility helper programs, or for x86
laptop users)
* Multiple X servers, each with its own set of input & output
devices ("multi-seat" mode)
The two methods can be mixed on a single machine - when configuring you
simply need to determine which X server each device is going to be
associated with.
Requirements
* Solaris 9 FCS or later (SPARC or x86)
* USB-capable machine
* For Solaris 9, USB patch 115338-01 (sparc)/115339-01 (x86) or
newer. For Solaris 10, s10_17 or newer.
Limitations
Due to the nature of USB and Sun's implementation, USB devices may get
different numbers when initialized or hot-plugged in a different order.
A partial solution is to use the full path name under the /devices
hierarchy - this is tied to the physical port a device is plugged into,
so the order is no longer a problem, but devices must always be plugged
into the same port this way.
Xsun Configuration
The following sections may be added to either
/etc/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig or /usr/openwin/server/etc/OWconfig.
Xsun reads both when starting up and merges their contents.
* 1. Run ls -l /dev/usb/hid* to see what the existing device names are.
* 2. Attach the additional input devices to the machine
* 3. ls -l /dev/usb/hid* to see what the newly attached device names
are. Note at the end of each symlink line it will list whether it is a
keyboard or a mouse.
* 4. Add lines of the following form to OWconfig, one for each
device, and each with a unique name beginning with "IMOUSE" or "IKBD":
# sun Keyboard module
class="XINPUT" name="IKBD2"
dev="/dev/usb/hid2" strmod="usbkbm"
ddxHandler="ddxSUNWkbd.so.1"
ddxInitFunc="ddxSUNWkbdProc";
# sun Mouse module
class="XINPUT" name="IMOUSE2"
dev="/dev/usb/hid3" strmod="usbms"
ddxHandler="ddxSUNWmouse.so.1"
ddxInitFunc="ddxSUNWmouseProc";
* 5. To configure multiseat mode, add a section to OWconfig to
associate each keyboard, mouse, and frame buffer with a specific display
(in this case ":1"):
class="XDISPLAY" name="1"
coreKeyboard="IKBD2" corePointer="IMOUSE2"
dev0="/dev/fb1";
* 6. Test your configuration. For multiseat mode, run an Xserver on
the display you listed (xinit :1 or add a line for :1 to
/etc/dt/config/Xservers ). For use with the X input extension, restart X
and run xinputdev -l (source code here) to list the devices the server
sees. You can also run xinputdev -k & xinputdev -m to switch your core
keyboard and mouse to the specified devices.

The report gets called via the rwservlet (hope that answers your question correctly)
The application is in OAS.
The separation i require is both in the database and the reports themselves.
For example let's say i have devapp and testapp - both the exact same app. But they both need to access reports under the same key, but the report needs to get its info from its respective dev and test databases. The key is hardcoded so can't change.
If i understand correctly (a big "if"), the cgicmd.dat file tells wich report to grab and which database to connect to based on the key. Is there a way to have separate key map files (cgicmd.dat) called by separate applications? So that devapp will get Report1 using devdatabase, where testapp wil get Report1 using testdatabase?
It may not be possible to do this kind of server consolidation, I just need to know one way or another for sure - and if it is possible, how to proceed.

Dual/ multi monitor

I would like to see more options for dual monitor setups with Win7.
Here is my situation. My primary monitor is 4:3 and my secondary monitor is widescreen. I use the primary monitor for opening windows explorer and my secondary monitor for viewing. When viewing movies, I like to set the secondary monitor to landscape mode and when viewing docments and browsing I like to set the monitor to portrait mode.
I've used ultramon with Vista but that has lots of problems. Heres are some stuff that I would like to see implemented.
- Be able to make monitor/display profiles with shortcuts in the taskbar (to switch from single to dual, landscape vs profile).
- Create a move window button to move open window from one monitor to the other.
- Be able to use different wallpaper for each monitor, would be nice if it can be attached to display profiles.

Hello,There has been talks of Multi Monitor support by Microsoft. For information as to what was said refer to this Blog entry.
As for a list of the useful HotKeys check out this topic here. They have quite a few of the new hotkeys listed there.

An application for multi-channel measurements

Does NI have a software solution for multi-channel measurements? I mean systems for measurements, tests and monitoring which contain numerous DAQ devices with thousands of sensors.
I suppose the software for such system should have the following features:
Instrument control
Sensor management (type, s/n, accuracy, calibration data, next calibration date, measurement limits, etc.)
Data acquisition
Storing data in databases
Data visualisation and analysis
Report generation
Tools for creating custom user interfaces / data visualisations for monitoring
As far as I know the DIAdem is great for data analysis, visualisation and report generation but it's not suitable for other tasks. With LabVIEW you can do anything but it's not an "out-of-the-box" solution.
Just to clarify what I'm talking about, here's an application that seems to fit the description. It's the HBM catman. Maybe someone worked with it? Do you know any analogues for it?

Just to add to Hooovahh's comments.
NI has flat out stated that they do not want to make turn-key solutions. That would take away from them being able to make tools for people to create the solutions. That is why they have alliance partners. These partners take the tools made by NI and make really cool stuff. My latest project was a software package that helped a technician build a jet engine correctly so that the turbine blades do not come out and destroy the engine (just slightly important). I have also done some test systems for space craft avionics.
So if you are really serious about this, I highly recommend finding an Alliance Partner to help you out. If you want, give me a PM and I can work on getting you and a few people on my side to discuss your requirements and proceed from there.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions
