Poor dual screen performance CS3

I really tried looking around for an answer to this but haven't found one, yet.
Anyway, I'm experiencing some very poor performance in all of my Adobe CS3 applications, but I use Photoshop the most and it's getting grating. It can take upwards of 10 seconds just to make a blank to document, 5 seconds just to open the layer styles dialog and 2 or 3 seconds to switch tools or options within dialogs.
However when painting with the brush, typing or using filters the performance isn't so bad and is close to how it behaved before I hooked up my second monitor. Starting up seems to go pretty fast.
My system specs are:
Windows XP Pro w/ SP3
6 GB RAM letting PS use 979MB (58%)
GFX card is a nVidia GeForce 7950GT with 512MB of memory with 3d acceleration on (on or off doesn't affect the issue)
CPU is AMD Athlon64 x2 @ 2.2Ghz
Primary monitor is an Acer 22" widescreen @ 1680x1050 (the one I use PS on) and secondary is an Optiquest 19" @ 1280X1024.
There's plenty of free disk space on my scratch disks video drivers are up to date (as of a few months ago, anyway).
When I disable or unhook the second monitor everything is fast but I'd rather not have to deal with having to disable my monitor just to run PS.
Thanks in advance.

It is 32bit Windows. While it may be a video card issue, I doubt it. Games such as Half-life 2, Fallout 3, and Fear 2 all run well on this set up. Also, I realize that I have more RAM than a 32 bit system will use but that's just how the number of sticks I have works out (2 x 2GB and 2 x 1GB).
Also, I looked and I have the most up to date drivers that support this video card.
I'll playing with the memory settings in PS and see if anything improves.
I probably should also add that the windows (layers, navigator, swatches and all that) will flash and go blank for a second or two while PS struggles with opening a dialog or opening another document.

CS4 poor dialog window performance with huge screen dual 30 inch

Hi, I am running dual 30 inch monitors each one at 2560x1600 resolution, on windows xp sp3 on an nvidia quadro FX 3700M (dell precision M6400 laptop)
If I use CS4 from the single laptop screen, everything is fine. However, whenever Im on the huge dual screen desktop any dialog box activity has a very poor performance. For example, I select File>New and the dialog window takes some two to three seconds to draw on the screen... it might not seem like a big problem but it is very very annoying since I am used to the snappy response of the user interface from years of PS use. It really affects my workflow since I work with many files at the same time.
Also, the bigger the dialog window the slower it takes to appear. If I select File > Save for Web and Devices, that dialog window will take up to five seconds to appear on the screen.
The problem seems to get worse the longer the OS has been working, ie. if the PC is freshly booted the problem seems a bit lighter. So it might be related to video card memory or something.
Here's what I have tried so far to solve this:
Since what I'm using is a laptop, the driver choices are limited, however I've been able to force install the 181.20 version of the nvidia driver, but it made no difference. All the official driver versions (176 series) from Dell also have the problem.
The problem doesn't seem related to Photoshop's use of the GPU as the problem remains while the GPU acceleration disabled.
This problem is also present in PS CS3 as well as CS2 CS1 and version 7 which are all I am able to test.
I was able to reproduce this problem on a desktop computer with the same setup on an nvidia quadro FX 5500 card. The dialog box window performance is really terrible.
I did not notice this problem in any other application that spans the two screens, even high end 3d ones.
Ok well it seems from my testing that Photoshop is simply bogged down by having such a huge desktop area to work with. It is really disappointing since PS was my only reason to spend so much money on this dual 30 inch screen setup.
Has anyone else noticed this? Are there any other suggestions? Any adobe support on this?
Thank you

I have tried with both open gl enabled and disabled (edit > preferences > performance)
The problem is present even in Photoshop version 7, I think that one didnt even notice the presence of a 3d accelerator chip.
Both video cards tested have 1GB of video ram.
Thanks.

X crashes on startup with AMD dual screen setup

Ever since I bought my AMD Kaveri A10-7850K at the end of January last year I've been having trouble getting a dual screen setup to work properly. Initially I put this down to poor beta drivers, and as I had far too much going on to investigate the issue further beyond some fiddling with xorg.conf, I bought an AMD A4-4000 as a temporary solution while waiting for the Catalyst drivers to catch up.
In June last year I decided to give my A10-7850K another go, assuming that the Catalyst driver would have matured enough in the meantime to cater for the Kaveri processors. Unfortunately the situation was still the same, and I I didn't have the time nor want to be swapping processors all constantly to I decided to just give up on a dual monitor setup for the time being.
After many years of using two screens, however, it is very hard to get used to a single monitor again, and as January is a quiet month for me I decided today to have another at getting it to work properly.
My setup is as follows:
an LG LG 23EA63V connected via HDMI as my main monitor at 1920x1080
a Viewsonic VP-171b connected via DVI as my secondary monitor at 1280x1024
AMD A10-7850K APU
Catalyst 14.12-1 drivers installed from Vi0l0's repo
Xorg 1.15 installed from Vi0l0's repo
KDE 4.14.3 using kwin
KDM is launched using kdm.service
KMS disabled via nomodeset
fglrx module loaded on boot via cat /etc/modules-load.d/catalyst.conf
Tear free rendering enabled
After plugging in my secondary monitor configuring it in amdcccle to be to the right of my primary moniotor in multi-display desktop mode, everything works correctly. This even works in my preferred setup where the secondary monitor is rotated into portrait mode, although I currently have not configured rotation so as to not overcomplicate the troubleshooting.
Upon rebooting, however, X hangs with a static white cursor in the top left hand of both screens, which after a while disappears completely. I then have to unplug the secondary (DVI) monitor and hard reset the PC before I can boot into my desktop again. The bizarre thing is though that when I plug in my secondary monitor again and configure it as desired, either through amdcccle or krandr, everything works perfectly again.
This is, of course, an incredibly cumbersome way of working, especially when most of the time I forget to disconnect my DVI monitor prior to turning on my PC, hence me just making do with a single monitor for the past 7 months.
I did a complete fresh install of Catalyst yesterday (uninstall drivers, delete remaining config files, reinstall drivers from repo), to no avail.

Dual screen problem in CS5

I have been using dual screens with no problems until I installed PS CS5. Now when I drag an image onto the secondary screen the canvas goes black as soon as I relsease the mouse. I can see the rulers etc. and when dragging across the diaplay the image can be seen but as soon as I 'let go' it's blacked out. The really frustrating thing is that this doesn't happen in AI or Dreamweaver (or indeed any other program!).
So far I have
Reset the monitors
when changed to show the same on both screens (clone) the image can be seen perfectly ok on both screens
when the secondary monitor is made the primary the problem remains (i.e. the PS image is blacked out on that monitor)
Checked for updates for the monitors (none needed)
Checked CS5 up to date (no updates required)
Checked for graphics card updates (none needed) - NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS
Uninstalled and re installed PS
Pointed in an annoyed manner at the useless window open on my secondary screen
Is there something simple that I have mistakenly chosen that is preventing the use of my secondary screen?

Check to see if nVidia has released an updated driver for your hardware. Go to their web site to check.
Unfortunately, from my observations nVidia may have neglected to keep their driver quality up with later releases for the 8600 GT. I have reports from some of my own customers using my OpenGL software that the driver is troublesome, and have actually reported better results from an older driver version than the very latest release.
Other things you can try to work around the problem:
In Photoshop, Edit - Preferences - Performance, [Advanced...] and change to Basic mode.
Try disabling OpenGL drawing entirely. If that corrects the issue it's almost a certainty that the nVidia driver is at fault.

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.

CS5 Dual Screen Issues

I am running a dual screen which essentially creates a workspace that is 3360 x 1050. Dreamweaver CS5 on the MAC Seems to have a mind of it's own in relationship to the space. Is there any way to "contain" it in window like it ran in CS3 on my windows machine?

It's not invisible, just positioned twice as far away as it needs to be.
Have a look at the step-by-step instructions I posted on this thread to get your window back:

Dual Screen Quirks

How about we try to get the quirks worked out of MBPs using dual screen (forget the fact that the thunderbolt connectors have a loose fit that allows the plug to wiggle out). So much fun to wake the computer up to find the dock pane half way up the mac screen and the cursor click points to be offset. Also love the password screen coming up only after the last screen before sleep flashes for a second.

honestly I don't really know about the performance of the x11 output driver, however if you check the man page for mplayer, there are no shortage of other output driver options that you can try, I'd say do a little reading and see what the best one is, or try a couple out and see if you can get better performance.

IPad mini Retina refuses to go into Dual Screen mode on AppleTV. Any Solutions?

I've tried many games such as "Real Racing 2 HD" or "Sky Gamblers: Air Supremacy" - the iPad mini Retina just mirrors the image (in a bad quality) but shows the same on the TV and the iPad... On the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2 it switches correctly into the Dual Screen Mode as soon as the app launches - the iPad mini refuses to do so...
Is this a (software) bug of the iPad mini Retina in general or is it a hardware issue with my mini retina?
The Apple Photo-App works just fine and also the music playback over the TV-Speaker works properly.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
On the basis that you get poor quality mirroring when things do work, you presumably have network problems, it may be worth investigating these and solving them before troubleshooting the iPad mini.

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.

Is it possible to connect my mid 2010 Macbook Pro with my 21.5" iMac 11,2 so that I can work with dual screens?

What options do I have if I want to set up a dual screen?

I have a Thinkpad T400 with a ATI Radeon HD3470 card. I am running the latest Arch x86_64 with Fluxbox and the 9.4 Catalyst drivers.
What is the easiest solution to set up a dual screen? Is there a way to do this without editing xorg.conf? Not that editing xorg.conf really is a big problem, but I will be moving around a bit and finding the correct settings for each screen would take some work. And I would like to see how far the dual screen development has come on GNU/Linux.
The way I see it the best way would be to have two screens with separate resolutions. Since LCD screens do not handle resolutions other then the native very well. So just stretching the screen makes the slave screen run the same height as the parent screen. Or am I wrong? It is not a problem running stretched if the screens run at the native resolution.
So, xrandr just gives me stretching. And the need of editing xorg.conf.
What about Twinview(just for nVidia) and Xinerama?
Is there other solutions?
SOLUTIONS:
There is arandr and lxrandr, both frontends to xrandr. Requires minimal xorg.conf editing. Only add a virtual line in the screen section. The virtual size does not have to be accurate, it only have to be bigger then the screens together. In my case, I have a 1440x900 primary screen and at most a 1280x1024 secondary screen. So my virtual size would be minimum 2720x1024. This is with the screens side by side. If the screens is one above the other it would be 1440x1924.
The exact size of the monitor is handled by xrandr(arandr or lxrandr). So, there will be no dead zone in the width(side by side solution), if the real height is different on the screen there will be a dead zone in height.
Using arandr or lxrandr means that you manually have to set this up each time the computer is restarted. To automate this, you can use xrandr. First do a
# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2464 x 900, maximum 2720 x 1024

320x200 75.5 60.1
to find out where the screens are connected. Mine are LCD and CRT1. Then test with
# xrandr --output CRT1 --right-of LCD
to see if you get a stretched desktop. If this works, just add the last line to your .xinitrc
This solution gives you stretching.

This works, and I get separate resolutions on the monitors. I tried using radeonhd but then the resolution on teh second monitor goes to some crappy values(which I figure are calculated proportionally to the 1280x800 one).

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

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:

Variable screen performance in BEx - post upgrade to BI7

Hello,
We have recently upgraded to BI7 - SP16. We are using the 710 gui, patch level 3. Bex version is 3.5, patch level 6.
Since we have upgraded, we have been experiencing a major performance hit when opening the variable screen of a query, as well as navigating within the variable screen. We are using the Excel version of BEx.
When we were on 3.5, opening the variable screens only took about 5 seconds, now it takes 30. To use F4 for the dropdown lists, in 3.5 it took about 3 seconds, now it takes 15. To enter multiple selections, it took 1 second, in BI7 it takes 15.
Our users, needless to say are getting very frustrated with the performance. The query execution time is comparable to when we were on 3.5.
I have this open as a high priority issue with sap, but they have yet to come up with a fix.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Charla

Hi
check this notes:
Analyzer variable screen: Performance and documentation

Performance: Long runtime for variable to popup
SAP Note Number: [1327958|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_bw_bex/~form/handler%7b5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d31333237393538%7d]
I think note 1044219 is important for you:
1. The BEx Web Analyzer executes queries before the system displays the variable dialog. This cannot be avoided.
2. You cannot prevent the BEx Web Analyzer from saving variables in the workbook and using them again when you reopen it.
Additional it includes other notes and hints regarding performance in variable screen and F4 help.

Andreas

On my 2012 MBP I can no longer use dual screens/HDMI after upgrading to 10.8.2. I'm using Moshi Thunderbolt adapter

I think you are sailing in uncharted waters with those kind of modifications.
I am only guessing, but if you have not already done so, do a PRAM reset and then trash your FCP preferences.

I've also notice when I start the computer up, it stays on the grey screen longer than it did when I had the original card (512 mb).
My understanding is the Mac is doing a ram/hardware test during the grey screen, if the card you added had additional memory, then it is very likely the test will take longer - but I am no hardware expert.
