K7N420P with 2 monitors??Possible??

hi, I have this k7n420P with Nforce Gforce2 MX onboard and intalled a new Gforce4 64Mb on the AGP slot. I would like to use both of them.. Is it possible??
thanks.
Migraine RJ

nope, you would have to have a PCI video card in combination with the onboard as when a card is inserted in the AGP slot the onboard is disabled...no way around that one.
Unless the AGP card has dual RAMDAC's you are SOL I'm afraid.

[SOLVED] Help with dual monitors (second monitor won't wake up)

Hi. I'm trying to set up dual monitors, but I can't seem to get it to work.

So it looks to me like both displays are being detected. The geometry looks such that one display is on top of the other, but I can change that using an xorg.conf.d config file (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … xorg.conf). I also tried using arandr.
The real problem is that the display on HDMI3 just isn't "waking up". The power is on, but it just sits there in sleep mode.
Any help would be great. I might just be missing something simple. Thanks.
Edit: I just saw a short list of window managers near the bottom of the Arch Multihead page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … _xorg.conf). I don't see openbox on that list. Does that mean I'm SOL if I want to use openbox with multiple monitors? This page seems to imply that it should work fine with openbox http://magnatecha.com/dual-monitors-wit … nd-xrandr/.

I use XFCE, and when I boot my computer I just run:
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --auto --output DVI-I-2 --auto --left-of DVI-I-1
I'm assuming if you modify the names appropriately that it'll work too. I have had issues before trying to run dual monitors without taking both outputs off of a single video card (which is what I'm doing now). For example, I had a graphics card with one (VGA) output and a VGA output on my motherboard. But, connecting the graphics card disabled the on-board VGA. So it is possible (I'm not an expert here) that two displays coming off the motherboard may not work for hardware reasons.

How do you center dialogs with multiple monitors. code, best practices

My existing code will take the pixel size of the java app, and using the size of the dialog, it will center dialogs perfectly in the center of the application. This is great for single monitors, but when multiple monitors are introduced it is a problem. With dual monitor, the dialog is split in half between the two monitors.
I should be able to determine which pixel/frame initiated the user's action; and then i am hoping to get some code or direction on:
1. how to determine which monitor the user initiated the action on (knowing the px or frame location, how would i do this)
2. how to center dialog on that monitor
if possible, it would be appreciated if you can provide some code; i cant find anything on determing pixel size of monitors and this seems to be a little bit of a project to do from scratch. open source, 3rd party, insight, guidance, all is appreciated. thanks !

This code may help:

Hi Balaji,
So if you have an extended desktop across two monitors then I would say you had two options.
1. Within one VI you could simple design the front panel in such a way that it extends across both screens with the relevant information in the right screen. The fact that there are two monitors present is transparent to the applications.
2. With two VIs there is a property for front panels to choose which monitor they are displayed on. This is available by wiring a VI reference to a property node and selecting front panel window >> monitor. You then enter an id for the monitor you want it to be displayed on, this is a numeric e.g. your primary monitor will be zero. You can see the property node help page here.
I hope this is the information you are after.

Monitor an Apache service with Solution Monitoring

Dear all,
We are using Solution Monitoring and the Service Level Reporting and now I'd like to monitor an Apache Service to see its uptime.
I tried to create a GRMG scenario for this, however I noticed that a GRMG scenario always requires a port number in the URL.
Does anybody of you know if it is possible:
     1) to monitor an Apache Service with Solution Monitoring (TA DSWP)
     2) to make it part of the Service Level reporting
     3) any other technology to make the uptime of an Apache Service part of the Service Level Reporting
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
It is highly appreciated...
Best regards,
Roel

Hello Joe,
If u do not want to import any Structure or BOR- Object, u can follow below steps :
1. Create ur data model by adding the properties manually in SAP GW service builder with correct Edm    types.Doing this would be pain in my opinion ( sometimes we are forced to do this but no other option    doing this way )
   Create associations & navigation needed.
2. U can generate run-time objects.
3. Go to appropriate classes and implement methods with ur Business Logic.
4. Register ur service & consume.
U can also import RFC to create data model and create mapping as per required by implementing correct method as well.
once u do this generate objects and register service and consume it.

[SOLVED] Modesetting with external monitor broken (intel)

After recent updates, modesetting during boot no longer works if an external (vga) monitor is plugged in.
Once it gets to modesetting, both screens go black and I can't tell what happens after that (Might hang, might boot fine I just can't see it…) The external vga screen is black (with very occasional horizontal line of noise), but remains on (It doesn't go to sleep, which it usually does if not receiving a signal).
If the monitor is unplugged during boot then plugged in once the login prompt is reached, modesetting works and running X multihead with xrandr seems to work normally. (workaround until the issue is solved)
Changing from Early KMS start to Late KMS start means the black screen appears later, but it still appears.
Booting with nomodeset works with the monitor plugged in, but means X fails to start with an error message about not finding any screens.
The laptop is an old macbook, with integrated intel graphics card:

Ok, I'm trying to collect information for a bug report, so if people could confirm or correct what I have so far and add any additional relevant information, that'd be very helpful.
The fact that running the linux-lts kernel fixes the issue suggests that the problem almost certainly lies with the kernel.
Comparing the date of my first post with /var/log/pacman.log, I believe the upgrade that first caused the issue to appear was this:
upgraded linux (3.7.3-1 -> 3.7.4-1)
(There is a very slim possibility that I managed to upgrade to 3.7.4 without actually rebooting into the previous kernel, in which case the issue could have been present in an earlier version, but I wouldn't have encountered it.)
So far, the only graphics card affected appears to integrated intel chips:
Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS(/GME), 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Has anyone observed this issue with a different graphics card? (check the output from entering "lspci" in a terminal if you're not sure how to find out)
Finally, Wittfella found reinstalling from scratch fixed the issue. If someone can come up with a reasonable explanation as to *why* this fixed it (and ideally narrow it down to changes that can be made without reinstalling from scratch if at all possible), then it's possible that it's not an actual bug, so much as a poorly documented change that causes problems upgrading but is otherwise ok afterwards.

Twinview with one monitor switched off

I have a setup with two monitors, one a DVI LCD, which I use as my main monitor, and an older VGA monitor, which I use only occasionally, both connected to an nvidia graphics card. They are easy to setup using nvidia-settings. The problem is I often only work with the LCD. But with the setup I have, if I reboot the machine with only the LCD turn on (and the VGA turned off but *connected*), for some reason, the number of dots per inch changes (I know this from the info provided by nvidia-settings), and the text on the screen appears distorted and smaller. Once this happens, I cannot set it back rightly unless I reboot an turn on the VGA monitor. Has anyone experienced this issue? (or has a solution?) The metamodes line of my xorg.conf is:
Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1280x1024 +0+0, DFP: 1280x1024 +1280+0"
I don't think it necessary to post xorg.conf in full, but please say so if I'm mistaken.

I am not even a Mac user, but am guessing your problem is that you have somehow changed the screen resolution to something that is incorrect for your setup.
Presumably there is someway to reset a Mac to use default settings or safe settings, possibly relating to bios use. The first result I get from a search engine is: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/772297

Run screensaver independently with dual monitors

Nope. Can't do it.

Interfacing with dual-monitor machine

Hello all--
I've got a G5 at home with dual monitors on which I run 3D animation software with lots of panels. I'd like to be able to control the G5 from work using a laptop (possibly also connected to an external monitor). Is it possible to display both screens of the desktop using ARDv3 on the laptop? Some users have mentioned they can do this but the size of the remote screens is unsatisfactory. So, again, can you visualize both screens well via the remote computer?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

you can view both screens at once but it will be scaled to fit on the screen you have... so what you see is dependent on the resolution of both client monitors and your admin computer's monitor.
you can also select to view a single monitor of the client computer.
i've never run ARD admin on a computer with 2 monitors so i'm not sure how it handles it but i'm guessing that you can view both monitors on both admin monitors.... it'll probably scale down or up dependent on resolution.

Potential problem with my monitor, please help.

Hello
I recently upgraded my OSX to Mavericks and I've been having problems with my monitor, I've attached a screenshot of what is happening because I didn't know how to explain it and I'm unsure if its the OSX upgrade causing the issue or not, however I'm really worried about my monitor on my macbook pro.
The model I have is the 15" mid 2010 2.4Ghz Intel core i5 with 4GB RAM.

Still having this issue with my macbook pro monitor... There was no updates available and I followed every other possible solution, sometimes my monotor looks perfect like there was never any problem and other times my entire screen is just covered with this stuff you've seen in the above image.
I really have no idea what the exact issue is and how to solve it.
This macbook was given to me for university by the government as I have a form of dyslexia and because I've just finished my degree the insurance has ended... is there anyway I can still buy applecare insurance for my machine?! I got this MBP in 2010 so I've had it for three years now.
I'm just worried that one day I'll turn on my machine and the monitor won't work whatsoever.. and I thought apple was suppossed to be good and last a long time.
Hope somebody can help me further.
Thanks.

Connection MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G with 2560x1440 monitor

Hi.
I'm going to buy WQHD (2560x1440) monitor. How to connect MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G to use 2560x1440 resolution? The specification for card states:
DVI Connectors
1 (Dual-link DVI-I)
Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
HDMI Connectors
1 (version 1.4a/2.0)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @24 Hz (1.4a), 3840x2160 @60 Hz (2.0)
DisplayPort
3 (version 1.2)
Max Resolution: 4096x2160 @60 Hz
I prefer connection over DVI but according to above spec I'm affraid if will be impossible...
I've heard the picture quality over HDMI/DisplayPort is worse then over DVI - is it right?

Quote from: CSIG1001 on 23-October-14, 07:34:58
This cannot be possible Dual Link DVI is capable up to 2560x1600
I just purchased 2x 980s gaming and all the current cards only support DVI up to 1 (Dual-link DVI-I) Max Resolution: 2048x1536 @60 Hz.
This is incorrect unless MSI HQ R&D did not test 2560x1440 and 2560x1600 res or they put crappy components inside this card to not allow it. I went back and fourth with owners on newegg with this card one owner did verify that it does work . For me I own a Monitor that only uses DVI dual link at 2560x1440. This will be a deal breaker for me if the cards do not work with my monitor or the video cards do not function correctly.
This does not make any sense what so ever for a manufacture to implement this standard as the majority of the population isnt even on 2560x1440 or 4k. So i am pretty upset about how tech support fails to acknowledge the reasoning behind this new DVI standard . Go look at the 760-780 series all say max res 2560x1600.
So my question to everyone out there who owns this card am i screwed or should i just use my dual link cable to run 2560x1440 even though it states 2048x1536 max res. Someone that i know online says it works so whats the deal?
FYI this video card does support a max res of 2560x1600 over DVI
Tech support for MSI and Sales department were not trained correctly to let the customer understand that Max Resolution on the website for DVI 2048x1536 is for using the analog VGA adapter
Hope everyone now understands! Because this took me 4 hours of my time to figure out on my own with the help of Newegg tech support and verified owners!

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one. If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

You cannot shadow a session with multiple monitors enabled in Windows Server 2008 R2

Searching through the forums (and according to KB2484290) it appears that there is no solution to this problem. We are rolling out thin clients that are using dual monitors exclusively and we were very surprised to find out that we couldn't shadow
sessions with dual monitors (which to us means that we can't shadow ANY sessions). This now completely changes our approach to managing these devices.
We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with Remote Desktop Services installed. The thin clients are running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with the latest updates / RDP client. All steps have been followed to ensure that the apropriate settings and
permissions have been set up to allow access into the session.
We tested by unchecking the RDP setting “use all my monitors for the remote session”, with that setting disabled shadowing worked
Questions:
1. KB2484290 is from Dec 2010 - It's now April 2012, is there a workaround / hotfix for this issue that will allow us to shadow sessions using the native Microsoft tools?
2. Are there any recommended alternatives (software)? Free/Paid - doesn't matter we just need something that will work. I'm sure there are a few options out there but I am looking for suggestions for what people have used in the past that worked
best for them to help us narrow down the choices.

Hi,
In my experience, so far, the workaround is Remote Assistance, Remote Assistance supports multiple monitors, and is the presently recommended solution if you need this functionality. Remote Assistance is a Windows Server Feature that must be explicitly installed
on Windows Server 2008 R2; it is already installed with the client versions of the operating system.

As far as I know, there are some third-party tools can be used as the solution, such as Teamviewer, ISL Online, etc.
