Problem on dual monitor system

Hi;
I have dual monitors and put Eclipse on the right monitor full screen. When I move the mouse over a variable, the pop-up is displayed in the left monitor.
??? - thanks - dave

I've a similar problem. But actually my problem is very common; I've seen a lot of programs showing this.
My monitors are arranged as [2][1]. That means the primary monitor is on the right while the secondary is on the left. But most programs suppose that we have [1][2]. This is a very very bad assumption.
So when the application window is placed on the secondary monitor, ie on the left, popup, tooltips or other things would appear on the right ([1]) !
Nitrox is, unfortunately, one of these applications.

  • Saving window position at dual monitor system

    Hi!
    Is it just me, or is it a bug? I use flash at a dual monitor
    system an place the stage on the first and the actionscript window
    on the second screen. After restarting flash, both (the stage and
    the AS-window) are at the first screen.

  • Problem w Dual Monitors on ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB

    Hi I'm having problems with Dual Monitors on ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB, Mac Pro 2009.
    Setup: I'm running two 27" DELL U2713HM Displays at 2560x1440 one via direct DVI cable and the other one thru the Mini Display Port via Dual Link DVI adapter.
    Now when I boot up the left screen displays the start-up apple as it should but then both screens go black and the right one (DVI connection) comes on while the left one stays black, goes into power safe mode. When I go into preferences > Displays I even get only one single display as if there were no multiple connected. It's however NOT a connection problem, since it works during the boot up sequence.
    Any idea what might be wrong with my set-up? Do I need a new graphics card?

    You do have the dual-link adopter connected to USB power right?
    Next I would try using a displayport to mini displayport cable. You monitors have:
    Connectors VGA, 4 x USB 3.0, DVI-D (HDCP), HDMI, DisplayPort 1.2,
    That cable is about $10

  • New arch installation, problems with dual monitors

    tldr: nvidia setting are not saving when when I leave a session.
    yesterday I wiped my computer and went from ubuntu to arch on my desktop (been using arch on laptop for a while). I'm having problems getting my dual monitor settings to save. I configure the settings via nvidia server settings and it works fine but when I go to reboot or log out it goes back down to just one screen and I have reset up nvidia.
    gdm has never seen both monitors its always just the single screen.
    software
    nvidia drivers 280.13
    xfce4 v4.8.0
    gdm 3.0.4-2
    kernal 3.0-arch
    my system is up to date with a yaourt -Syu
    Sorry if this has been answered but my googlefoo was not strong today.

    GDM *should* use a xorg.conf if it exists.... I also noticed that Arch keeps a xorg.conf.d folder, which I'm not sure the nvidia-settings app knows how to handle.
    Also, make sure you are running the nvidia-settings app with root privileges, as you'll need those to write a xorg.conf in /etc/X11.

  • System out on Dual Monitor systems

    Hi,
    I am trying to write an application running on single processor, but dual monitor facility. So differnet monitor must get differnet display from same process.
    May I know how can I capture the monitor standard output. I know we have System.out that is set to standard monitor, in this case I "think" it will consider the first monitor has standard output. So, how can I capture actual output stream to each monitor so that I can set the system out property to which ever monitor I wish.
    Thanks
    HKG...

    I don't understand. System.out and System.err write to the standard out and err streams. When running Java in a command window under a GUI environment like Windows, Mac OS or Unix or Linux with X-based graphical displays, these streams will be default be displayed in the shell window that started the program. This window will be on what every display you placed it, the Java program has no control.
    If the Java program is a GUI (AWT, Swing or SWT), then System.out and System.err output still goes (by default) to whatever shell window started the program or into the bit bucket if no shell windows as associated with starting the program.

  • Problem using dual monitors with Radeon 9000 Pro and 2 x Samsung SM223BW

    Hello all
    I really need an expert opinion here:
    I am using quite a lot my MDD 1.25Ghz that is still equipped with the OEM ATI 9000 Pro Mac Edition with 64MBs of Video RAM and as most if not all Mac-specific cards it has an ADC and a DVI port. I recently purchased a couple of Samsung monitors; the afore mention in the subject SM223BW. The monitors have two inputs, both DVI and D-SUB (Analog VGA or otherwise plain old RGB).
    I have purchased a Formac ADC to DVI converter and connected this output to the DVI input of the first monitor. It works like a charm and the picture quality it is quite good (not as with an Apple Display but I couldn't afford them at this stage). For the second monitor I used a DVI to VGA cable (going from the DVI output of the card to the VGA In of the monitor).
    Now here is the problem: The monitor that is connected ADC to DVI has all the available 16:10 ratio option that are suitable for this monitor. The DVI to VGA one gives me only a 1680x1050 and all the rest are 4x3 resolutions.
    Would anyone know why this happens? Could it be a monitor issue? Could it be that perhaps TFT monitors offer different resolutions according to the input used. Or could it be the graphics card? Or even perhaps the cable?
    Under OS X, same settings and same computer I am given more resolution options. Would that mean that it might be as well my beloved OS 9 in combination with the card?
    Or am I stressing this too far?
    Please any ideas are more than welcome
    PS: I have a dual 2.0Ghz G5 connected to the rest of the DVI and VGA inputs to be able to run both without having to repatch. Otherwise a DVI to DVI connection would have made more sense and solved the problem

    Hey Simon
    I bought these monitors for their dual input functionality. The reason that I have the G4 connected to VGA is because I have another G5 connected the other way around in order to be able to use both computers, at any given time, with two screens.
    Perhaps to make clear the connections I've done (if of course anyone is interested :)) ...
    The G4 connects via ADC to DVI to the DVI input of Monitor No.1
    The G5 connects via VGA to VGA to Monitor No.1
    The G4 connects via DVI to VGA to Monitor No.2
    The G5 connects via DVI to DVI to Monitor No.2
    Another question would be why simply one mac isn't connected solely via DVI and the other one via VGA? The reason is that the VGA input looks awful on these screens for whatever reason. The image is seriously not sharp, the fonts looks horrendous and even with a lot of tweaking from the monitor settings, still I'd say the image is minging. If anyone knows why a VGA input can look that bad and still a monitor being in the market please let me know. It could be that this monitor is aimed to PC users and with the accompanying PC-only drivers all such are non-existent...Anyway I decided to go with the half DVI-half VGA solution to get the best out of the situation.
    But on the question asked, I decided to use a 2 DVI input Avocent KVM that I've got with interesting results. I am pretty sure it is boring to read but if anyone has spare time here it goes:
    The G4 connects via ADC to DVI to Monitor 1.
    Monitor 2 DVI output connects to DVI KVM Input
    The G4 connects via DVI to DVI to KVM Output 1
    The G5 connects via DVI to DVI to KVM Output 2
    The G5 still connects via VGA to VGA to Monitor 2
    In this manner I am guaranteed to utilize the DVI inputs for both monitors, at least on my G4 and the G5 be forced to utilize one VGA. The plus side of the situation is that I can use both systems with the flick of a button without having to get up to change the Source on the monitors plus of course one keyboard and a mouse. Now here is the interesting bit:
    Under OS 9, with the resolution 1280x800 on Monitor No.1 (the one connected via ADC to DVI) flips to - I think - 1680x1050 - it could be higher than that - with a thick black frame around the Desktop occupying a good chunk of the screen and the actual OS 9 looking minuscule at the center of it.
    Monitor No.2 (the DVI to DVI connected one) looks just fine.
    Now on top of that, when the G5 is switched on but the KVM is outputting the G4 desktop on Monitor No.2, whenever the mouse cursor slides on this monitor, it goes black! Just simply black and when I move the mouse cursor back on Monitor No.1 goes Desktop again.
    Under OS X, none of the afore mentioned problems exist. Everything runs fine and I am give more 16:10 resolutions as well.
    Confused? I am

  • Full Screen Problem With Dual Monitor Viewing

    I have a 64 Bit system, Chrome browser and with flash player built in.  I am attempting to view videos on a 2nd monitor while working on the primary monitor.  I have tried this on various sites, TNT.tv, USANetworks.com, etc...  I select full screen viewing.  A message is displayed to exit full screen press escape.  However, when I attempt to do anything else automatically exit full screen on the second monitor.   This should not be an issue and with the way most people view video online, they are doing so on a 2nd monitor or TV.  I have done a google search and it is a common problem, but there is no solution that seems to work.

    I have just posted the same question - missed yours.
    Adobe could you take a look into this - I think solving this problem can't be that hard.

  • Big Problems with Dual Monitors

    I am running a Mac Pro with the Nvidia graphics card. I did boot camp to intall windows, but later decided to remove the partition adn install parallels. The problem is thaton the mac side when I place a monitor on the second port, all my screens do is flash blue and never show up. I tired reinstalling the os, and this didn't fix it. I have 2 20 in apple cinima screens, but I can't use them both becasue when I plug the second one in both of my screens go away (flashing blue on and off). How can I fix this? it is real problem.

    Have you also tried setting up dual display using the windows settings instead of the NV control panel?
    Also (and this one is obvious, but worth checking)...if your HDMI display has multiple inputs (DVI, VGA, HDMI, etc.), make sure you have it set to the correct input.
    I'm guessing the issue is with the HDMI display.  Is there any way you can try a DP monitor instead of the HDMI monitor?  That could help narrow the problem even further.  Nvidia is very particular about the cable adapters/dongles that they claim support for with their cards.  The one we sell is officially supported (made by Bizlink).

  • Screen Sharing problem with dual monitors in 10.6

    When I'm using Screen Sharing from my Macbook to my iMac with dual displays (10.6.1 on both machines) It works fine when I initially connect, but when I switch to Display 1, it shows me Display 1, but though my cursor moves, I can't click on anything. It won't let me go back to viewing both displays either, and changing from Adaptive to Full Quality or vice-versa makes no difference, as does Scaling. This happens whether I'm on my local network or using Back-to-my-Mac. It was working fine under Leopard, but has been exhibiting this behavior since the 10.6 upgrade.
    Mark

    This is a very irritating bug. One thing that has worked for me a couple of times (I think a couple of times it also didn't work) is to turn on mirroring. Screen sharing then only shows one monitor, since they are both the same. I'm not sure if the monitors have to have the same resolution for this to work, mine do. The nice thing about this is that before quitting the screen sharing app you can just turn mirroring off again and it will go back to normal. It's easiest to do this by enabling the 'show displays in menu bar' in your displays preferences.

  • Problem with dual monitors - unresponsiveness and shut down

    Hello there!
    I've been happily using a 2010 Mac Pro since March with a Radeon 5870 card and two Apple displays connected to the card with mini-displayport cables.
    Recently, after I installed Lion, the secondary screen has been acting strangely; sometimes, while I can move my cursor without any problem on it, I can't click on anything. I click and the program, such as Apple Mail or Reason, just doesn't respond in any way. Moving the program window to the main screen solves the problem.
    Moreover the secondary monitor sometimes shuts down for a second, displacing in the meantime all my windows to the main one. It always comes back instantly.
    Finally, when I use Windows 7 the secondary screen isn't even recognized anymore; it stays black and windows doesn't see it.
    I tried of course to unplug and reconnect both monitors a few times but the problem, which in Lion is sporadic, remains.
    Any ideas?

    There ARE problems hooking up multiple DVI displays. But Mini DisplayPort displays are supposed to "just work" according to this article:
    Mac Pro (Early 2009), Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Supported display configurations
    The other issue some users have is not completely seating those Mini DisplayPort cables or adapters. The connector must be inserted into the jack until essentially ALL of the metal part disappears.

  • Radeon 9800 xt pro problems with dual monitors

    I just got a Radeon 9800 XT Pro for use with my G5 Dual with two Lacie 22 inch monitors. I'm finding that sometimes the left monitor comes up with a wrong desktop photo and the icons that normally are on the right (primary) monitor switch over to the left one. Can a video card cause this or is it to be traced elsewhere?

  • Skype notifications problem with dual monitors

    A few days ago I did a fresh install of arch on my laptop (intel graphics) and since then when I am using 2 monitors, one 1366x768(primary-right) and the other 1920x1080, Skype notifications that are supposed to be shown on the primary monitor do not appear at all. From what I read, they do appear but off-screen, as if the primary monitor was 1920x1080. Any ideas what may be causing this issue?
    Thanks!

  • ScreenSaver on Dual Monitor System

    When the screen saver kicks on, if does not adhere to the same rules as wallpapers do. Wallpapers treat each monitor separately, meaning the same wall paper is applied to each monitor.  When I select the picture screen saver (that shows a slideshow, the pictures ALWAYS orient on the top/left corner of the left-most monitor.  It seems to me that this is wrong.

    There's an app for that, 2nd Screen Saver runs an independent screen saver on the other screen(s)!

  • Window Arrange problem in dual monitors

    When attempting to arrange photographs which have been dragged to my primary monitor (entire Photoshop CS6 beta program opens [as I have set it up]  in my secondary monitor), the photos are arranged, but moved back to the monitor where Photoshop resides.  In Photoshop CS5 and earlier, the photos would stay in the same monitor in which I placed them.
    Thanks for any help.
    Windows 7 64, occurs in both PS6 beta versions.
    Tom
    I suppose keeping the main program frame in the desired photo location would work (with the toolbars moved to the second monitor).  That would still give me plenty of better-of-the-two monitor real estate, but it really did used to work as I described above.
    Message was edited by: stormy.boy

    Thanks,
    But I already set up my xorg.conf for that, and used those commands.   It didn't work.   My xorg.conf right now, though, doesn't have the changes I made because I reinstalled Arch (reinstalled because I started using Kubuntu and decided I preferred Arch).
