Lenovo OneLink Dock with Multiple Monitors
Hi,
I ordered an S431 (which only has one HDMI port for display output). I currently use two monitors from my laptop, and was wondering if the OneLink dock would allow me to continue to do so. Would I be able to connect to one monitor using the HDMI output from the dock and another from the laptop, or will using the dock disable the HDMI output on the laptop?
Thank you!

Yes, it allow to use HDMI from the dock and HDMI from laptop together. You can use your two monitors.
Actually you can also use your laptop LCD with two external together.
That means you have total 3 screen at the same time.
Try it, when you get it
That sort of defeats the purpose. That is why I stick with the "classic" Lenovo USB 3.0 dock. There at least you can connect two (DVI) monitors to the dock. The Onelink concept is ruined by having to connect a second monitor to your laptop. Ideally, the Onlink dock would have 2(!) HDMI connectors on the dock itself, as well as an option to swap the Onelink cable for a USB 3.0 cable. The "classic" Lenovo USB 3.0 dock has this and therefore can also be used on Macbooks,which allows me to alternate between my MacBook Air and my X1 Carbon

[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.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/890/cpsid_89050.html
== 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:
- Internet Explorer 9
- Firefox Release, Beta, Aurora, Nightly
- Opera 12 build 1116
In bugbase.adobe.com I cannot choose v11.2.xPlease vote for it If you have the same problem:

I'm buying desktops for a start up company and was wondering if I could purchase a single Mac Pro and run multiple monitors to allow multiple users to work on the computer at the same time. These users would be doing different tasks but I would hope to accomplish that on a single desktop. I know that screen sharing is possible but with only one user controlling both of the screens. Thanks in advance, sorry for my apple ignorance!
A lot of companies are buying or leasing laptops to be used at the office by day, and carried home at night.
Some companies are doing "Bring your own device". Bring a device to receive email -- computer/smartphone/tablet you already have, or have an allowance to buy one for your use.
If Capital is short (and when is it not) leasing computers, to be turned in a few years, can be a huge savings because the cost is expensed as incurred. The alternative is laying out cash today, but not being able to expense the cost this year. Instead, the computer expense must be recovered over their useful life (often five years) through depreciation. -
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.

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:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class OptionPaneDemo {
ActionListener al = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
Component comp = (Component) evt.getSource();
JFrame f = (JFrame) SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(comp);
showDialogInUpperRightCorner(f);
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
public void run() {
new OptionPaneDemo().go();
void go() {
GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
for(GraphicsDevice gd: ge.getScreenDevices()) {
JButton showDialogButton = new JButton("show the dialog");
showDialogButton.addActionListener(al);
JFrame f = new JFrame(gd.getDefaultConfiguration());
f.getContentPane().add(showDialogButton, BorderLayout.NORTH);
f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
f.pack();
centerWindow(f);
f.setVisible(true);
void centerWindow(Window w) {
Rectangle windowBounds = w.getBounds();
GraphicsConfiguration gc = w.getGraphicsConfiguration();

int y = screenBounds.y + (screenBounds.height - windowBounds.height)/2;
w.setLocation(x, y);
void showDialogInUpperRightCorner(JFrame f) {
JOptionPane pane = new JOptionPane("Hello, world!");
JDialog dialog = pane.createDialog(f, "title");
Rectangle dialogBounds = dialog.getBounds();
GraphicsConfiguration gc = dialog.getGraphicsConfiguration();
Rectangle screenBounds = gc.getBounds();
//int x = screenBounds.x + screenBounds.width - dialogBounds.width;
//int y = screenBounds.y == 0 ? 1 : screenBounds.y;
int x = screenBounds.x;
int y = screenBounds.y + screenBounds.height - dialogBounds.height-1;

How can use full app with multiple monitor
in Lion and Mountain Lion
when i use Multiple Monitors and move any app in full-screen mode
its become in one monitor and other monitor become blank
but it seems usefull that other monitor show another app in fullscreen mode
how can i do this ?
and sorry for my bad english!!Sorry to say, but it is designed to work that way.
The only way around it that I know of is, not to use full-screen but just fill the screen with the application that you are using.

Hello,
I have an issue with the Flash projector and multiple
monitors.
I develop an application with .exe file that run on a
multiple monitors enviroments, when I try to get a full screen
(with CTRL + F or fscommand("fullscreen", "true")) the display goes
only to the primary screen.
The only thing that work is to maximize the application but I
get the menu and the windows bar and button.
Do anyone have an idea how to fix it??
Thank you in advance.
Javier.Thank you Russ,
What I do is to Extend the Windows desktop to both monitors
and then I open the flash project and drag and drop to the second
monitor, but when I full screen the project is only show on the
primary monitor.
Regards.

Bizarre crashing with Multiple Monitors in Win 7 64-bit.
I am running InDesign CS 4.0.2 ME (4.0.4 has yet to be released) with 4 monitors running on 2 nvidia cards. I am having the most bizarre behaviour. After rebooting the computer, ID crashes on starting. The only way to get it to work is to first disable the second card, then it loads fine, the reenable the second card. ID will open and close without any problem until I reboot again!
This is really strange.
I used to have a similar problem on Vista where if ID was maximised on start it wouldn't load so I had to make the preference be that it didn't open full screen (1920 x 1200) and then it would work.
It seems that Adobe would prefer us all to work on XP with a 17" monitor.
On a similar front, in 64-bit Windows 7, the ID icon doesn't show. It's just a blank icon. The book icon works, as does, .idml etc., but an .indd simply doesn't appear in purple. This is unique to 64-bit Win 7, because under 32-bit it works fine.
Most bizarre and quite irritating!All I can tell you is that I don't see this issue with the standard version of InDesign.
It sounds to me like a video card/driver issue and that's where I'd be concentrating my efforts.

Mavericks with Multiple Monitors?
I keep my tool pallets arranged on my second monitor. Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator all lost my workspace settings whenever the monitors go to sleep. I can restore everything by chooseing Reset Workspace, but this is getting real old. Usually after waking up the monitors, the palettes either all show up in my main monitor or almost completely off screen on my second monitor?
Am I the only one having this problem?
Only other thing I have noticed wierd in CC since moving to Mavericks several weeks ago is that Photoshop sometimes switches to the Color-Wheel cursor (but not spinning) at times regardless of which tool is selected - eventually it will switch back, but have not identified what causes it to restore itself.Fwiw, I think this is expected behavior. Aperture is set to use multiple monitors in the same (OS determined) "Space". In Mountain Lion, you could not show two spaces at the same time. In Mavericks you can assign a monitor to a space (this is the default). But if you want an app to use both monitors, you have to turn off this feature.
As I see it (actually, I don't -- I haven't upgraded to the big wave), the hierarchy was:
Space(s)
Monitors (all in same Space at any given time)
Apps
and now it is (by default):
Monitor(s)
Space(s) (one per monitor)
Apps.
What you are asking is to have each Monitor display a Space, and have an app (Aperture) run in two Spaces at the same time. That might be asking too much. -
Hi Guys,
I've run in to a bit of an issue with my MP. I run three monitors off two GT120 cards. They work great in OSX and did work fine in Win7. We've just moved and when Ifired up the mac again at the new place the three monitors work fine in OSX still but when I bootcamp in to Win7 it will only work with one monitor if I power up the other two it either rearranges the screens around of blanks them all so that I end up with a black screen that I can move the mouse pointer around on and the other screens say they have no input and switch off. Occasionally win7 shuts down completely!
It's got me baffled.......I don't know windows that well to start rummaging around too much and OSX is working fine so the hardware is OK. HELP!!
Cheers
Mike
P.S. Everything is up to date.............in fact nothing has changed since the whole set-up was moved to the new house.I think I have it worked out. I put the Kona card in "input passthrough" mode and all seems to work just fine. I had it in MacIntosh desktop and that was causing my problem
If any other suggestions I am sure open to them.
Thanks

How can use Print and Page Setup Dialogs with multiple monitors?
It seems the designers of the printing API forgot to include multiple monitor support.
According to the API, a way to popup a print dialog is done via this manner;
1) PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog()
or
2)PrinterJob.getPrinterJob().printDialog(PrintRequestAttributeSet atts)
Option (1) brings up the native print dialog and hangs the event thread (another problem, for later i guess) and (2) brings up the Swing dialog which at least doesn't hang the event thread. And while somewhat limited is not a bad print dialog.
The problem is that there is no way to pass a GraphicsConfiguration object, so that the print dialog can know where to popup (what monitor).
So looking around, we have this newer 1.4 method
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/javax/print/ServiceUI.html
public static PrintService printDialog(GraphicsConfiguration gc,
int x,
int y,
PrintService[] services,
PrintService defaultService,
DocFlavor flavor,
PrintRequestAttributeSet attributes) throws HeadlessException
So now this method has a way to pass a graphicsconfiguration, so it should know what monitor to create the dialog in.
But this method is such a mess to setup. When I use it, it lists the printers but doesn't select the user's default printer.
But more problematecally is that there is no PAGE SETUP dialog equivalent to this method! So I would have a print dialog that pops up in the right place, but page setup on default monitor! ARGH!!!
The code for ServiceUI has a pageDialog() method but it's commented out for "future release". What a mess.
Is there any way to solve this? To have pageDialog and printDialog on a given monitor?It seems the designers of the printing API forgot to include multiple monitor support.

How to move the dock from one display to another with multiple monitors?
Sometimes the dock will switch from one monitor to another just by clicking in the dock area of the second montor. Other times it does not.
I found out that I have to keep moving downward on my trackpad after the cursor hits the bottom of the screen. It works now.

I have a T420, with a Dock series 3 (model 4338). I would like to set it up to have 2 external monitors and to also use the laptops display. The KB references the Optimus drivers, which I do not have. My display adapter is recognized as an Intel (R) HD Graphics Family. Is there a way to also use the laptop display or do I have to have the Optimus to enable it?
Thanks in advance

Solved!
Go to Solution.with your laptop this method is not possible, you would need the Nvidia equipped GPU to do this.
However, you can run the laptop with an additional external screen by getting a usb2dvi converter or an eGPU solution.

Application dock and multiple monitors
I'm moving my MacBook around quite a bit and hence connect it to a few different monitors. My preferred setup is then to extend the desktop to cover both monitors, and have the external monitor configured in OSX as it is physically placed at the desk. (So, if the monitor is to the left of my MacBook I want it to be on the left in OSX, and vice versa.) I also prefer to have the application dock on the left hand side of the screen on my MacBook as this gives me the most vertical space to work with on the 13" screen.
But, as I connect it to a monitor placed on the left side of my MacBook the dock moves to the far left side of the available space on the now extended desktop, thus placing it on the external monitor.
Is there any way to configure the dock to never leave the MacBook screen? So that when I connect a second monitor to the left of the MacBook screen, it would simply keep the dock on the left side of the MacBook screen. I would have to cross it to enter into the second monitor, but that would be much preferred over having to cross both screens with my cursor to reach the launcher.Displaylink isn't really designed for high bandwidth video, as it relies on CPU to do the compression. The stuttering and blurring means there is a bandwidth issue with the dock. Are you plugging the dock into the USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port?

When connecting an external display to my Laptop and using the "Ctrl + Scroll" functionality for accessibility zooming, the display/graphics are extremely slow.
An estimate of FPS would be sub 1FPS. The machine becomes unresponsive and is unusable for a minute or so, until I can get it zoomed back out, and it begins responding normally.
This is very disruptive, as its a feature I use often.
The same laptop on OSX 10.9 did not exhibit this issue.
Hardware: MacBook Pro 13" Retina Mid 2014, 16GB Ram
Software: OSX Yosemite 10.10
System Information: http://cl.ly/image/0H1p032w0M0w
Reproduction steps:
1. Enable CTRL+SCROLL zoom functionality in System Preferences > Accessibility
2. Connect external monitor (Display port cable)
3. Hold CTRL and Scroll to zoom
4. System becomes slow, graphics slow, showing < 1 FPS without any other applications runningJust to note, I have the same problem....
When you use Thunderbolt display with 15" MB Pro late 2013, it zooms unreasonably slow.
But when you close the laptop display and only have the Thunderbolt display on, it zooms a bit faster, but still too slow for such a new laptop.
I think it could be optimised a bit better, something somewhere can be improved here.
