MEGA PC And Dual Screen

Hello everybody
(sorry for the faults i'm french)
I had a Mega-PC 651 whit a celeron 2Ghz, 512 of RAM, and a Geforce 4 card.
I would like to know if we can use the graphic chipset of the MegaPC AND a graphic card.(Because I would like to do a dual screen computer).
Help me please : firts to know if it's possible and secondly if you can give me a little Howto.
Thanks creon

I haven't seen your card, but if the diminsions are anywhere near the same as my AIW, it's a pain in the @$$ to install; but not impossible. If this was a 'normal' computer, my answer would be YES it will work, but because this MEGA180 has been nothing but a pain in the but, I have to say PROBABLY it will work. I posed a fairly detailed description of what I had to go through to get my card installed, maybe reading that will give you some idea about what may need to be done in your case.
Good luck

I'd like to see next generation of Touchsmart PC with Touchsmart keyboard and dual screen

Where you have a monitor as the display and a seperate keyboard, but the keyboard is another monitor which operates as a keyboard, for example something like this...
This ultimately would mean that the keyboard could be application driven, that is it could be specifically configured anyway that the application requires it. I'd also like to see a dual screen option for touchsmart PC - a screen that is built in and can be slid out from the rear of the monitor to act as dual screen, extended screen...

Jim,
You may want to check out this community for developers. I'm pretty sure HP is aware of the goings-on in these forums:

Using Keynote with Podcast Capture and Dual Screens

Hi everyone,
We are trying to use a dual screen setup to record some Keynote presentations using Podcast Capture (i.e Dual mode, with the Keynote presentation in one screen and the presenter in the other).
The problem we are having is that when in full screen mode, Keynote takes control of both displays, thus stopping the Podcast application from being displayed. Even if we switch off the Presenter Display on the second screen, the second screen turns black.
I know we can start and stop recording with hotkeys, but we would prefer to be able to see the Capture app in one window with the presentation full screen in the other.
Perhaps this is just an oversight on Apple's part, but I'm finding it hard to believe its not possible. If anyone else has a workaround then please share.
Thanks.

Other applications are not visible when Keynote is playing back. Keynote takes over control of the graphics system when playing back presentations to enable Keynote to display properly.
When I play back Keynote and I want to look at a second application, I use a second Mac.

Xfce4 and dual screen issues

Portege R600 / A600 and Dual Screen Output

Hi,
Could you tell me if it is possible to output to dual screens on the R600 or A600 with any of the Toshiba docking solutions?
I have been told it is possible however I was told today by Tosh sales that it is not possible to do. I'd like to do away with my home pc and office pc and just roam between the two with a notebook. However I do use an extended desktop on two screens and would need this to work.
Any advice on this?
Thanks,
Paul

Not sure if you mean two screens plus the laptop screen or two including the laptop, but If it's any help, I use a Slim Port Replicator with my R500 running Vista and have a second monitor plugged into its DVI output. The two screens work fine as an extended desktop.
I also find it useful to install Ultramon (http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/). This adds a task bar to the second monitor.

KVM Between Mac Mini and Dual Screen PC????

Hello All,
I was wondering if one of you has the answer this.....
For work I am now working remotely from home. I have a ThinkPad W520 with Dock and two 19" ViewSonic monitors both with DVI cables. Since space in my place is an issue, I want to share my sons desk wich has a Mac Mini with an HDMI to DVI cable to a 19" Monitor.
My question is......is there a KVM switch out there that will allow for my setup plus keyboard and mouse to be used with the Mini? Then he can run dual screens on the Mini when I am not working.
Thanks for the help with this one!
Alex

I am not aware of any KVM which can share two screens. The best you are likely to be able to do is put one of the screens with the keyboard and mouse on a KVM and share those.

Copying Presets and Dual Screens

Hi there,
I am running a small home studio and have just hooked up another monitor to my imac.
First question, how do I put the mixer in a separate window on the second screen. I want it so I can have the arrange page on the main screen and then the mixer on the other as they're the main ones I use.
Secondly, I am recording a 6 track EP for my band, I have set up all the tracks ready for the first song but when I come to mix and master them at the end how can I apply all the same EQ settings, effects, levels and such to every song if they are seperate logic files?
I look forward to your responses, thank you

Hi
Start here. Go ahead and mix then bounce your songs (to 24 bit aif). Load a Logic Mastering Template. Drag your tracks in serially (in a row) or parallel (side by side, after setting up enough tracks - 6 in your case).
I often do the parallel method so I can quickly mute/unmute for fast comparisons of overall level and energy.
Bounce to 16 bit with dithering to burn disks with the files. (I use Bias Peak for assembling the disk image.)
There are many ways to skin this cat. Many.
Can't help you with dual monitors.
Cheers

[Solved] no signal w/ second monitor and dual screen using nouveau, i3

Hi!
I just brought my old screen to my room and try to make it work. It works when the other one is not connected, so no hardware problems. The result is that I can go to the right and do stuff and move the window to my working screen, but the monitor stays black and says "no signal". I tried a long time with nouveau but without success. I was not able to make the graphic card work with the propretary driver from the website and I don't want to downgrade the xorg-server to 1.12 to install nvidia-96xx...

I don't know what I should try. I haven't tried yet the "old-school" Xinerama stuff, but it seems tedious and error-prone...unless someone tells me that it is actually a different and possibly working approach I'm not going to try it. Any hint is welcome! :-)
Best,
Marc

Hi!
Thanks for pointing out the repo..I did yaourt -Ss nvidia from the beginning and I didn't pay attention to the nvidia package. Sometimes archlinux is more user-friendly than one expects...
So now my second monitor works. :-)
Moral of the story:
If you want to use the NVIDIA driver, read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia
And if it doesn't work, read
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia
again, because maybe you missed something...
Best,

Screenshots and dual screen logic in macbook

Ive got a problem, everytime i safe screen settings i worked on in a song, they wont reload.
When i have for instance arrangement view on the macbook screen, and the matrix edit on the monitor on key 1,,,,, the setting gets lost when saving the song.
Whats up here??

Beside the word "windows" is a number signifying what screenshot your currently on, and a dot letting you know that the screenshot is locked. Before perminently changing your screenshot, unlock it by clicking on "lock screenshot". The dot should disappear. Make your changes then go back and choose "lock screenshot". Save before closing out your session, and you should be good.

Display issue with vertical windows start menu and dual screen

Hello everyone
I never reported it and I didn't find any information on google or mozilla support about this so here it is :
I am on windows 7 and I set up my windows start menu vertically. I also have 2 screens. These both points are important. If I put the start menu horizontally I do not have the issue anymore, and If I turn off one screen to have the display only on one screen, I do not have the issue anymore, which is a rare setup I guess so it could explain why this bug has never been detected.
HERE IS THE ISSUE
I have display issues on website with a big width, even the default add-ons Manager firefox page doesn't display correctly. Here is a screen shot:
http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/368172bugFirefoxDisplay.png
So as you can see the disable and remove button on the right are not displayed, and at the bottom there isn't any scroll bar to scroll ! So I have no way to display the information on the right of the page, and it happens on a lot of other website (gmail, etc)
It is not such a big issue because my start menu is on my left screen and I can move firefox on the right screen to have a correct display.
I still think this is worth reporting this bug. I hope it is clear, feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand.

You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Fans noisy with Maverick and dual screen

Hi,
I use a second screen on my MBP.
Since I have installed Maverick 10.9.1, the fans rotate at 5500 rpm all the time (even when I do nothing). And... it's noisy !
If I unconnect the 2nd screen, after seconds, the fans rotate slowlier.
When I was on Mountain Lion, this problem wasn't.
I try a SMC reset with no success.
I don't know if there is a solution or if I must wait for the new release of Maverick.
Thankl's for your help.

Either use separate X (gnome remembers things properly then) or learn to deal with not having that many panels . Separate X means you can't drag windows from screen to screen.

I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.

WINE and my Dual-screens

I have looked around, quite a bit, haven't found a answer that i've been really looking for...
I'm a big gamer, and I run two 17" flatpanel monitors at 1280x1024 on a NVIDIA GeForce GTS250.
When I run apps in WINE, it tries pushing each app out in 2560x1024, such as World of Warcraft... now, for WoW, it doesn't bother me. because my UI scales to 1280x1024 for some reason anyway.
As for games, like PoRTaL and Left4Dead.... it's trying to squeeze 2560x1024 into one monitor, making them pretty much unable to play..
I have tried emulating the app in a virtual environment, at 1280x1024... and I really don't wanna disable my other monitor every time.... Because I use them for Cheats, or a guide, whatever I tend to use it for...
Is there a way to push these apps into 1280x1024 instead of my dual-screen resolution?
It's one of the main issues for me keeping Winblows 7 on my computer... pretty sure once I figure this out, i can get rid of it.
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, probably wasn't searching the right terms and what not.

Perhaps, if you are interested, you could setup a new xorg.conf which has separate X sessions for each window (rather than TwinView), such that you could open up what you want on one window, then play your game on the other. Even if that is beyond what you want, you could check out ways to dynamically turn off screens:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=81310
For a while there I would launch games via scripts, which called xrandr first to turn off my second screen, but these days I launch everything with xinit to avoid turning off/on compiz for max performance.
I'm interested to see what you decide on, post back here
I have thought about both options, and I'm not sure if I wanna do either of them,
I mean, I want WINE apps to go into 1280x1024 which makes sense that I won't be able to unless I disable a monitor or run two separate X sessions, which I'll probably set it up to run two separate X sessions.
Still doing some research and making my decision.

Microsoft Word consistently becomes active window when clicking between dual screens and programs

13" MBP
2.3 ghz i5
8GB Ram
Running 10.9.2
Microsoft Word 2011
Dual screens with amazon Mini Display to VGA adapter
When I am running word between an external monitor and my MBP, Microsoft word always interrupts any clicks between programs and between screens to become the active window. This is especially annoying when I am trying to navigate between MacMail and Chrome, or any other programs.
The problem doesn't exist when I click between programs on the MBP, but only when I select windows between the two screens. Or programs on the external monitor.
Word is up to date, as is my MBP.
Please don't punt me to Microsoft, they're the worst!
Thanks!

There is a workaround for this problem, which was posted by Highestwater on the Microsoft Community thread for this bug and worked for me as well:
Go to
System Preferences > Mission Control >
and UN-check the box labeled "Displays have separate Spaces" (see image below)
The original poster on this thread may already be aware of this workaround, because he/she mentioned that the "separate Spaces" option is checked. But if you can live without the extra Mavericks dual display features (like going full screen in 1 display only, switching spaces independently on each display, and having a menu bar on each display), then uncheck this option and the "stealing focus" bug seems to disappear. For me the bug is so annoying that it's worth it to lose the extra features. Just yesterday I closed a Word document I was working on by mistake because I clicked on a Finder window on my other display and immediately pressed command-w to close it, without realizing that the focus had switched to my word document which closed instead. It was saved, but this sort of stuff interrupted my work enough to be both an annoyance and a time drain.

[dwm] fibonacci patch doesn't work and DWM dual screen.

How does dwm handle dual screen?
(I am now an Awesome user, and i am thinking installing dwm. I love the spiral/dwindle layout in Awesome and I am trying to install the fibonacci patch in dwm(link). But i think it's failing. When i do makepkg, this is the last output before the error. Does anyone have any ideas?)
Last edited by Vintendo (2008-07-21 17:09:05)

Dwm has minimal support for dual screens. AFAIK they are still working on the best way to support it. If you must have dual screens the way awesome handles them, I'd suggest you use awesome for the time being.
For the record I am a dwm user, but I'm using 4.7 because the code got cluttered when they started adding dual screen support. Once it is implemented in a sensible way I'll upgrade.
