How to use different wallpapers on multiple monitors with Linux

Umm...ok. I use XFCE4 as my DM. It allows me to have a different wallpaper on each desktop.
Though I'm not interested in other DMs, what DMs would require that I use this third party tool?

If you have multiple monitors and run Linux, you may want to display different images as your wallpaper on each monitor. There's a utility for that – Nitrogen. The blackMORE Ops blog has a nice how-to on getting Nitrogen and configuring it, with step-by-step instructions and plenty of screenshots.

VMware Fusion on multiple monitors with Linux Guest

I am running VMware Fusion 7.1.1 on a MBP with a retina display and two external monitors. The guest OS is Ubuntu 14.04 with the i3 window manager. When switching to "Use all Displays in Full Screen" the view is mirrored on all three screens but xrandr is only reporting one display attached.
$ xrandr

Does anyone know of a way to get the other screens to show as connected so that I can use them without mirroring?

How to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant

Hi ,
Can anyone tell me how to use the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant in BI 7 Process chains ?
The requuirement is that I have a DSO eg DSO 1 from which i have to load DSO 2 and DSO 3 . Now if the number of Records in DSO 1 are < 100 i will load DSO 2 from DSO 1 else i will load DSO 3 from DSO 1 .
So in the PC i have used a 'ABAP Program' variant (which counts the number of rows in DSO 1) after loading DSO 1 and after this 'ABAP Program' Variant , i have used the 'Decision between multiple alternatives' Process variant. Problem is it is giving me only some some system fields in the formula , like sy-datum or sy-timlo , which are of no use here .
It would be great if i can receive some help here .
--Devraj

in RSPC you create a ABAP processing type "ending with specific values".
We use true or false for things as you specify.
your abap program should return a true or a false to indicate which of the situations is applicable.

Got the "apple firewire ntsc" choice to show up even if grayed out and "missing" under "audio/visual" menus by recreating choices in Easy Setup under "final cut pro" MENU thank GOODNESS because I was reading horror stories on here about this under another thread with someone trashing preferences, reinstalling and the works and still not getting it to show up...on my search now for an analog/digital converter up at b&h...find it odd that the s video connector wouldn't show the crt monitor when I put both displays through the 3870...I switched it back to see if it worked again when only the one dell monitor display was there and there it is again mirroring the screen display on my desktop...just can't be seen as an "external monitor" in fcp...couldn't find anything specific in the shane ross threads to this. I'm sad the program doesn't just see the s video connection though the 3870 though my computer does fine and will query up at b&h in regard to what might be affordable as far as a digital/analog converter. It's also weird in itself that when I put the two dell monitors on the one card my computer no longer could see the s video crt connection...makes no sense. Will report in later as to what I discover up at b&h as I'm sure there's a world of people out there using this sony crt monitor still even into the upgrades with computers and software so I imagine therein lies the solution. Thanks again and I'll report in as to what hardware might be suggested for me.

Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini ?

Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini like i do with my PC ? 2 differents screens.. not mirror.

There's lots of Mac Mini models since 2006 or so. What do you have?
Most support two monitors but how you do it is different depending on model.
Put this phrase into Google
dual monitors, mac mini
and you'll come up with the solution needed based on which MM you have.

I'm using a viewsonic 19" LCD monitor with a powermac 7100/66. The only resolution available in the monitor control panel is 640x480. The viewsonic gives me a message to use 1440x900. The mac specs state it's capable of 1152x870 @ 8 bit. Help!

I'm using a viewsonic 19" LCD monitor with a powermac 7100/66 running Mac OS 7.6.1. The only resolution available in the monitor control panel is 640x480. The viewsonic gives me a message to use 1440x900. The mac specs state it's capable of 1152x870 @ 8 bit. How can I get a higher resolution?

For unsupported resolutions, one may need to see if there are any software
solutions; maybe the minimum specs of the display are not met by an 8-bit
color specification of the video card in the computer.
Does the display support two kinds of connections, another one, plus VGA?
Could be the display needs some other support for it to work. Drivers?
VRAM? A different control panel and (third-party) software?
The limits may vary due to the VRAM on the card. With enough there, and
with a VGA connection (or supported converter to/from older Mac DB-15)
and the video graphics card with minimal supported specs will show that.
Been several years since I've run any PowerMac, & only used a variety of
Apple CRT color displays with them. Most times, they were very adequate.
A wider array of original choices appeared in the Displays control panel...
So I suspect the lack of video support in the graphics card or VRAM, to be
a player in this resolution limit you see in the control panel. A later CPU/GPU
and better hardware, later Mac OS, offered greater support for newer driver
along with better results.
There may not be a workable upgrade to a different graphic video card for
that old a vintage computer; or if there was one, to locate that now may be
a next-to-impossible mission. Was there any hints in the web site for older
Macs, the LowEndMac site, or others? Some are no longer current sites.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Hi,
To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
= "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Juan Carlos

Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro?

Hi,
Anyone using a Yamakasi Catleap 2703 Monitor with a Retina Mac Book Pro? If so, is it working well and would you do it again? Is it compatible with the Apple dual DVI cable?
Thanks,
Alan

I just got a Yamakasi precision 2703. I'm using it with a 13" macbook pro (non retina). I got it working with a thunderbolt / minidisplayport to dual link DVI adapter from monoprice for $~70. At first I didn't think it was going to work, plugged it in, turned on the display, nothing happened. I unplugged, plugged the USB cable back in and the monitor came to life. Working great so far. I bought mine from green-sum on ebay. The recommend not using this monitor with apple computers due to overheating issues... I don't see why that would be the case, though. I've only been running it for a couple days, but so far no issues, and I've been happy with the monitor, no dead pixels, no bleed in the corners.
The monitor stand on the 2703 isn't too bad, a little wobbly but not as bad as the others from what I've read. The monitor does sit a little low, though. I have a much sturdier stand coming from monoprice for $20+shipping, which will provide tons of adjustment, both height and rotation.
Good luck!

In SQLScript, how to use EXEC to call another procedure with parameters in procedure?

Hi experts,
In SQLScript, How to use EXEC to call another procedure with input and output parameters in procedure？thanks very much

Hi Sagar,
thank you! I generate another procedure with an input parameter and an output parameter in a procedure. Then i need to call the generated procedure using EXEC. Here is my code:
create procedure ftest1(out sum_num bigint)
as
begin
declare fa_output bigint;
declare v_sql_drop varchar(200);
declare v_sql varchar(500);
declare cursor c_cursor1 for select num from TABLE1;
--v_sql_drop := 'drop procedure fe';
--exec v_sql_drop;
v_sql := 'create procedure fe(in i_num bigint,out o_num bigint) as begin';
v_sql := :v_sql || ' o_num := :i_num * 2 + :i_num * :i_num;';
v_sql := :v_sql || ' end';
exec v_sql;
open c_cursor1;
for c_item as c_cursor1 do
exec 'call fe(c_item.num,o_num=>fa_output)';
if sum_num is null then
sum_num := fa_output;
else
sum_num := :sum_num + fa_output;
end if;
end for;
close c_cursor1;
end;
The underline code is using exec to call the generated procedure. But this method cannot work. Any suggestion? thanks again!

Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display?

Can I use two HP Pavillion 23bw monitors with my MBP with Retina Display with good video quality? I just purchased them and am already reading about issues with non-Apple External Monitors being used with MBP with Retina. Plus I just assumed it given the power of the video card, but I can turn off the display to my MBP and extend the two HP monitors correct? I do realize they won't have the picture quality of the retina display but I would hope they look reasonable with 1080p
New to the Support Community so thanks in advance for any help.

This is an update on the question about the use of the Dell P2415Q 4K monitor with MacBook Pro 13" and 15" w/ Nvidia graphics card installed. The monitor works very well with both systems and is automatically identified when connected. The 13" machine with Iris Graphics defaults to 2560 x 1440 at 60hz. This was very workable, matching the Apple Thunderbolt Display for resolution. I was not able to set the display for full 4K at 3840 x 2160, even at 30hz. Just not enough horsepower with the basic Intel CPU with Iris Graphics. But make no mistake, the setup works well and the screen looks great.
The 15" with Iris Pro Graphics and the Nvidia GeForce GT 575M discrete graphics card also recognized the display and drove it at full 4K, 3840 x 2160, 60hz with no problems. Running in clamshell mode required a bit of fine tuning with the Apple display settings. But nothing major.
Due to a relatively small workstation, I selected the 24" version of the Dell monitor. If you are looking for a relatively large monitor with near "retina" resolution, the P2415Q is a perfect pairing for the MacBook Pro - and a terrific bargain. I paid $530 on the Dell website.
