Is it possible to set primary and secondary display with 2 graphics cards?

I have an Early 2008 Mac Pro with two graphics cards and four monitors installed. Does anyone know how the computer (or more specifically Keynote) determines which is the primary display and which is the secondary?
Also is there any way to change the scheme?
What I am trying to do is switch the primary and secondary from the two monitors in my office to the monitor at the podium (would like it to become primary) and a vga projector (would like it to become secondary)
I bought the second graphics card so I wouldn't have to switch the cables back and forth three times a week. All the monitors work fine, it's just a matter of determining or changing primary/secondary
Thanks in advance

Thanks Malcolm
I got that far – The keynote manual says that the display with the menu bar is the primary display – that works out fine. The problem is that the manual says that the display without the menu bar is the secondary (or alternate). But there are three displays without the menu bar.
What I would like to find out is: is there a way to choose the display without the menu bar to be the alternate?
When I try various combinations, there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which display is the alternate.
Thanks again for your response!

Set Primary and Secondary Interfaces

How can I set up primary and secondary network interfaces, so that it will automatically fallback to the second interface when I don't have the primary connected? I tether my phone to T-Mobile's network, but when I don't have it connected it want it to fall back to my wired connection.

Sorry, I only bump my own posts when I've added additional information to my last post and I see that no one has added anything to it in the past few days. I guess I would be better to create a new post instead of editing the old one.
I did give it a try and I have no real results to share. I created the two profiles in the /etc/netctl directory and named them as above (including Priority=1 for the tmobile connection and Priority=2 for the wired connection, as stated in the wiki entry even though man netfcfg.profile says it's only for wireless connections), then I enabled the service. There is the word "interface" after systemctl enable netctl-ifplugd@ which makes me think I should specify an interface but I have no idea which one to specify, so I just enabled it without it and it didn't complain. There's no way to start it. Both connections are enabled but it seems to default to the wired connection for some reason, when I want it to default to the tmobile connection and then fall back to the wired connection. Both are enabled and have IP addresses but nothing changes when I connect or disconnect my mobile data connection since it's using the wired connection.
edit: I just tried to enable the service using the interface name of my mobile data connection and it didn't change anything ex. sudo systemctl enable netctl-ifplugd@enp0s26f7u3

Photoshop and Lightroom freezing with supported graphics card

Good Morning,
I'm looking for some help to correct a problem. I'm sending this request to Adobe, Asus, Corsair, and Intel. I'm a professional photographer and this is my new computer to support the Nikon D800.
Problem:
When working in both Photoshop (CS5) and Lightroom 4 my computer is freezing and I'm having to do a kill restart to unfreeze the computer. This is happening when doing simple processes like panting with the air brush in Photoshop.
I have to correct this issue it is my livelihood. Which of the components do I need to replace and with what specifically?
Computer:
i7 3970k CPU Intel
Asus Sabertooth X79 motherboard
Corsair 8- 8GB for a total of 64GB of ram (un-buffered)
Two drives both Western Digital
Graphics card is a Adobe supported ASUS GeForce GTX570
Windows 7 professional
Attempted corrections:
Up dated graphics card drivers, and Windows, check and unchecked Open GL Draw but it freeze in both setting. Follow all of Adobe's set up guide lines. Follow the recommendations from NAPP. Had some bad sticks of ram waiting on Corsair RMA replacement. Computer has 16 GB of ram in it at the current time but the freezing characteristics are the same with 64 GB and 16 GBs of ram.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Mike Boatman

I am running Win 7 Prof on a Xeon processor with 12 GB RAM. Occasionally I experience random freezes of my system but as far as I can tell neither Lr nor Photoshop are involved.
I never found a cause since my Event Viewer does not give any error messages.
I have searched the Win 7 forum at http://www.sevenforums.com/#windows-7-help-support
and found this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2575077
They say they fixed it with a hotfix but it seems it still does occur. My last freeze was on May 3, 2012.

i just need help getting a very good card for this computer without updating the power supplie

CS4 and Mac Pro with two graphic cards: OpenGL not supported!

I have two graphic cards in my Mac Pro. If a use a dual display setup where both displays are connected to the same card, Photoshop enables OpenGL support (Preferences > Performance).
Switch both displays to the other card, also works fine.
BUT if I connect one display to the first card and the second display to the second card (so each display has its own graphic card) the Open GL support is greyed out (I can not longer use canvas display rotation for example)
This doesn't make sense to me and looks like a bug...

Are you running two of the same cards or are they different? I'm running a pair of NVidia 7300GTs with no issues...and I'm driving a pair of 30" Cinemas and an NEC 26" widescreen. I get better performance on the single 30" than on the card with the two displays. Also note that which PCI slot you are driving the cards in has an impact on their performance...something to look into.

Setting up a primary and secondary Database in Oracle 10G

Hi Experts
can you please tel me the steps involved in creation of primary and secondary database? This is the first time i am going to configure this setup. Please provide your helping hands.
Thanks alot in advance,
Ram

Absolutely glad to help.
Step 1: Clarify what it is you are trying to build. Are you talking about a Standby Database? Perhaps Physical or Logical Data Guard? If so what protection mode? Stand-alone or RAC? Or are you just trying to dup an existing database on another server in which case you can just use RMAN.
Step 2: Go to http://tahiti.oracle.com and read the relevant docs
Step 3: Go to http://metalink.oracle.com and look at the Knowledge Base docs
If you have any question thereafter contact us and be sure to include your version number, not a marketing label. 10g is a marketing label that refers to everything from the 10.1 Beta through 10.2.0.4.

Need help with sorting records in primary and secondary databases

Hi,
I would like to store data into primary and secondary db in different order. For the main primary, I want it to be ordered by login_ts instead of uuid which is the key.
For the user secondary database, I want it to be ordered by sip_user. For the timestampe secondary db, I want it to be ordered by login_ts.
This is what I have right now,
this is for main

     DB *dbp;
     const DBT a, b;
     int time_a = 0;
     int time_b = 0;
     time_a = atoi ( (char *)a->data);
     time_b = atoi ( (char *)b->data);
     return time_a - time_b ;
for the timestamp secondary, I set that compare function:
          if ((ret = (*sdb)->set_bt_compare(*sdb , compare_login_ts )) != 0){
Does anyone know how can I make it sorted according?

Hi,
The DB->set_bt_compare() is used to compare keys in Btree database. In the callback function, both the DBTs are key, but not data. Please refer to http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_reference/C/dbset_bt_compare.html.
If you want any field in the data to be sorted, you might create a secondary index on it and define the compare function as you wish.

Magic Mouse Primary and Secondary Clicks Switched

Recently I picked up a Magic Mouse and have since found some very strange things that I don't know how to fix:
The primary and secondary clicks are switched. As in, under mouse settings when I select the secondary click to be on the right, only the primary click works on the right side and everything else is a secondary click. It is also very annoying because every time I have more than one finger touching the surface it counts as a secondary click. If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreciate feedback.
I looked around in settings and couldn't find anything regarding this matter. I fiddled with some stuff but never got it working properly.
Feedback much appreciated!
--Justin

Looking at another thread in this forum, I see some people who had older apple mice installed before the magic mouse are having this problem with the magic mouse.
I had an older wireless mouse that would take right-clicks before I set up the magic mouse. Unfortunately when I connect the older wireless mouse I can no longer access it's preferences. It only gives me the preferences a generic one button mouse. Somewhere there must be some set of files I can delete and it will forget this old mouse.
I am pretty disheartened after a week of this. One of the benefits to a mac is that I shouldn't have to dig around removing drivers and such

ITunes U course published but I can't see my school in the Primary and Secondary Schools list

I don't know how to contact the responsable of the iTunes U administration to send an email and change the name of my school.
I want to change Villaviciosa De Odón - Colegio Pax-Casvi into "Eurocolegio Casvi". Anyway, even my organization has been approved for courses publishing, I can't find the name of my school at the list of iTunes U "Primary and Secondary" schools.
If I go to https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/audit/633264363, the course is in the iTunes U.

Can't find my DNS Primary and Secondary

Dear God, I need my DNS primary and secondary. I'm trying to set my xbox 360 up with it's own ip ect. I've gone to my airport to get this information but my DNS is the same as the IPv4 router. My xbox requires a DNS primary and secondary. The only thing I can find for my DNS is a Domain Name and Server address: 10.0.1.1 Do I put this number in my xbox for the DNS with no secondary?

I think your router is not configured properly for your internet connection. Router is not giving out a valid DNS to the computers because it cannot obtain it (dns) from the modem. Is your connection Cable or DSL?

Primary and secondary Email accounts

Hello,
Is there a way to specify primary and secondary email account ? In case if the primary server is down, the secondary server would be used for sending the notification.
Thanks.

I am implementing something similar to what you have suggested. I was wondering if there is a way to achieve this by just changing configuration. Looks like it is not possible to configure it and coding it is the only way out.
Thanks for your inputs :)

Windows 8.1 screen bounces between primary and secondary monitors

I have a Lenovo T530 laptop with a docking station and a IBM monitor L200P attached to it.
Up until yesterday, this configuration was running Windows 8 Pro with no issues.
However today, after I installed the Windows 8.1 upgrade, I started having problems with the screen bouncing between the primary and secondary monitors without my intervention. The problem happens very regularly, regardless of whether I have selected the laptop as primary monitor or the IBM monitor attached to the docking station.
I verified that the problem does not happen with Windows 7 and Windows 8 installation and only starts appearing after the Windows 8.1 upgrade is applied.
Does anybody have similar problems
Thank you in advance.

O''philipp [[#answer-697652|said]]''
<blockquote>
another thing you could try is this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'''.
double-click it and change its value to '''1.2''' (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose: 1.0 relates to 100%, 1.2 equals 120% and so on; -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).
</blockquote>
Okay, I tried it, set it to 1.2 and even more stuff got blurry and fuzzy. Besides everything in the FF menu bar everything in the header on youtube and a few other pages did it too. It did make the pages fill the actual page better, but the blur is worse than this prob so I set it back to -1.0.
Any other ideas?

How to bind the Zero line between a primary and secondary Y axis?

All -
We are using combination charts with:
- primary and secondary Y axis (Sales versus Volume).
- Scale: Auto (Y) Axis
- Linear
- Fixed Label Size
In instances where one axis has a negative value and the value ranges are diverse the Zero line will be different for both. This causes some confusion when trying to read. Other that putting in manual (Y) axis with min and max, is there a way to force the chart to keep the same Zero line?
Thanks!

Obviously, true
The number of different features described once as "a basic requirement" is really amazing but a feature asked once is perhaps not one which must be added to a program like Numbers.
Other tools are available for professional numbers crunchers .
I know there are other threads asking about secondary axes, but your point is taken. I'm definitely not a number cruncher, but I am/was a pretty advanced Excel user.
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

P965 Neo-f - primary and secondary ide channel stops working after changing gpu

I just changed my graphic card from 4850 to 4870x2 and then my idd devices stopped working, and when I look in device manager the primary and secondary ide channel has a yellow exclamationmark over them. And the error msg is as follow: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
And when I look on the tab resources the two I\O range tabs have a red cross like over them probably meaning there is something wrong. And in the column Conflicting devies list: Input/Output Range 01F0 - 01F7 not available.
Input/Output Range 03F6 - 03F6 not available.
What I have tried so far:
Updating the bios, looking for I\o range crashes and irq crashes, uinstalling and reintalling severals times. And when I change back to my old 4850 card the problems disappears straight away.
Any ideas?

Well reality says something different :D
And a reinstall fixed the problem. I find this post very amusing.
Ill bet your graphics doesnt even use its full potential on that board.
Me thinks it severly limited by the board and the cpu and imo a waste of a good graphicscard/money.
Its better to use only 2 slots of mem because of the strain you put on your memorycontroller when using 4 slots.
When running " double dualchannel" the memorycontroller can be overflooded when running too high mem.speeds, with errors and BSOD and crashes as a result.

Full screen mode and secondary display

I am using Aperture with two monitors. The primary viewer is set to 'multi', and the secondary viewer is set to 'alternate'.
When I enter full-screen mode (F), the picture is displayed on the secondary viewer and the filmstrip is displayed on the primary viewer. I want the picture to be displayed on the primary viewer (as it is of better quality). How can I achieve this?
Thanks!
Fabrice

You have to switch the primary and secondary monitors using System Preferences >Displays > Arrangement.
Drag the menu bar stripe to the monitor you want to make (temporarily) the primary. Drag it back later.
I have looked for quick way to script this through Apple script but not yet found a way to do it.

Is it possible to set primary and secondary display with 2 graphics cards?
