Problem with Xmonad, laptop & presentation

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how I can have Xmonad show a presentation both on the laptop screen as well as on the projector.
At this moment I can only either show the presentation on the projector or the laptop, but not both at the same time except
when I tell xrandr to clone the laptop screen. However cloning the laptop screen is (atm) not an option because the laptop
screen has a wide screen resolution which the projector does not support. This causes the presentation to only show partially.
I also tried to place a copy of a window onto 3 workspaces at the same time in the hope that through xrandr that it would
show the workspace on the right or left. However this also didn't work.
Does anyone have any idea how to make Xmonad show the focussed window on 2 screens at the same time?
If someone happens to have a good laptop configuration that I could try that would be great ;-)
Cheers,
Neburski
ps: I have a configuration that works pretty well except the presentation thingy is a problem.

I just struggled with this problem myself today. I found out that Nvidia's twinview can clone display output, but widescreen laptop + 4:3 beamer means that part of the presentation falls beyond the screen. I now change the resolution of my laptop screen to that of the beamer. Not ideal, but it works.

    Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
    You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
    If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
    There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

  • PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in.

    I've installed Adobe Presenter V7.0.7 Build 7746. When I open an existing PowerPoint file and try and use Presenter, I get the following error: PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in. If you have seen this message multiple times, you should disable this add-in and check to see if an update is available. Do you want to disable this add-in?
    No, I don't want to disable it. When I click No, PowerPoint stops working. I get a message that says: Microsoft PowerPoint has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, Widows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. My only choice is to click the Close program button.
    When I open the PPT file again, I get the same "experienced a serious problem" message. If anyone has a solution to this, I'd appreciate knowing what it is. It took me a while just to get the Presenter option to appear in the PowerPoint toolbar. Now that I have it, it's not working.
    Thank you!

    Thank you for your quick reply. Here are the answers to your questions.
    1. The file I'm having issues with was not created using any version of Presenter. It is simply a PowerPoint file.
    2. The file is a PPT not PPTX.
    3. I am running Windows7 and Office 2010.
    I think I might have found the solution to the problem. I opened the PPT file and saved it as a PPTX file. Then I clicked the Presenter option in the PowerPoint toolbar and was able to select different Presenter options with no issues. I opened other PPTX files and I did not get the error window stating 'PowerPoint experienced a serious problem with the 'adobe presenter powerpoint com addin' add-in'.
    This seems to work. So, it appears that any PPT file needs to be saved as a PPTX file before using Presenter. If you have another solution that I might be able to keep in my back pocket (in case this happens again and what I did does not work), then please answer. Otherwise, I'm good now.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    you have posted the records in the R/3 side.
    But the V3 jobs have to run for the records to be available for the delta in RSA7.
    Once your postings are done.The V3 jobs are scheduled,mostly it runs on an hourly basis.
    This is what loads these new records to RSA7..
    Wait for a while until the V3 jobs run.then Check RSA7 if there are any LUWs then run your delta ..it should pick records.

  • Every time I try to download iTunes onto my Vaio laptop it only downloads partially, then claims to be finished. Is this a problem with my laptop or with iTunes?

    Every time I try to download iTunes onto my Vaio laptop it only downloads partially, then claims to be finished. Is this a problem with my laptop or with iTunes?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Problems with my laptop starting - Satellite P745, Windows 7

    For the past few months I've been having a very strange problem with my laptop. I have a Satellite P745-S4380 with Windows 7. There are times that I can shut it down and turn it on with no problems. However, a majority of the time when I shut my computer down, it will not turn back on. When I push the power button, the following happens:
    the power button lights up
    the fan starts running
    I never see the "Toshiba" screen and my computer does not start
    The only way I've gotten my computer to turn back on is to either:
    1) unplug my power and let my computer run in this "fan running, power light on" mode until the battery dies - then generally when I plug it back in, it will start right up
    or
    2) wait 5 to 7 days, then it will start right up
    I don't use it on a daily (or even weekly) basis because I am on the computer all day at work, but I would have to guess this started around June. I'm trying to determine if this is something like a motherboard failure, or if it's some sort of software/hardware update that is not setting well with my machine. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on things to even try troubleshooting? I think it may be related to an update or setting (maybe because I don't want it to be the motherboard) because even if I go to reboot it at times, it will shut down but will not come up and it will get hung in the same state as I described above. If my motherboard is bad, would it act like this? I'm at a loss with where to even start...
    Something else to mention is that if I put it in "hibernate" mode, I haven't seen this issue.

    Hi ! There are many discussions about whether you should shut your PC down or just leave it run. I never allow my PC to go into sleep or hibernate mode. I allow my monitor to shut down after 15 minutes of no activity. I turn my wireless mouse off when I'm done with my PC. When I return to my PC, I turn my mouse on and my PC starts up immediately. That is the way I use my lap top. It's a choice for you to make. I have no proof it it is good or bad practice. Of course this would need to be changed if your operating only on battery.

  • Problem with ASUS laptop and Windows 8

    Hii
    I have a problem with my ASUS vivo LAPTOP. Its running on Windows 8 and going pretty well, but sometimes when I use the Google chrome browser and open multiple pages the computer freezes and does nothing which requires me to shut it down by long pressing
    the power button.
    The question is what is the problem and does this process of long pressing the power button to shut it down harm my computer Hardware or Software?

    Are you sure the issue is happening only when you use Google chrome. Then, it is an issue with the browser. Remove chrome and then re-install and check if that fix the issue.
    Regarding force shut down is only meant to be used in emergency situations. If the computer is forced to shutdown everytime, this can lead to formation of bad sectors in hard disk and reduce its life span.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problems with my laptop Windos 8.1 with 4K monitor

    I've read about the new versions of After Effects CC resolve the problems with resolution in 4K monitors in Windows 8.1 OS but it isn't my case. It is supposed my After Effects is updated at the last version (2014.2), because the Aplication Manager doesn't let me to update newer versions. What can I do? Will I can resolve this or I will have to desesperate because my new laptop - that was an exciting investment -  make me life harder instead of make my fly with the Adobe programs?
    Thank you all for your attention and forgive my grammar if it's wrong.

  • Strange problem with my laptop

    When I try to connect to my router with my laptop, it usually lets me just fine. But it wont let me when we have a WEP key on the router. When I go to the Wireless Network Connection it shows our connection and it says "Not Connected" so I go to the bottom right hand corner where i expected it to say "Connect" but it says "Disconnect" and It wont let me go to websites, ect. Whats the problem?
    Laptop brand: Averatec
    OS: Windows XP sp 2
    I cant think of the router right off the top of my head, I can go look at what model it is if it helps, just let me know.

    check the model number of the router and from the wired computer , access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. on the web ui , check the firmware version... if not the latest , upgrade it first .. let me know whether it helps you or not...

  • I am having internet problems with my laptop

    Hi all,
    I am having some WIFI problems lately. my wireless internet keeps failing while i am playing online. its for like a 5-15 seconds disconnect. The problem isn't on my router or modem because my friend is not disconnecting.
    I tried to update my driver but i don't know which one to pick because there are like 6 drivers.
    The laptop i use is a Msi gp60 2pe leopard.

    Quote from: ULTIMATEDAVID;111645
    Hi Vliegbanaan, I am experiencing the exact same difficulties with the exact same laptop!
    I'm not sure if it's due to overheating, or the wrong drivers, or what not. Whilst I am playing, say League of Legends, one or twice every couple of games I lose the internet whilst still being connected to the router. It is definitely not a problem with the router as the internet still works on my phone whenever this problem occurs. This problem started occurring around about 2 months ago I should say.
    Please help someone!

  • Problem with moving laptop

    Whenever I move my laptop a little (like when I'm using it on my lap and shift my position) a message appears saying that the HDD was affected.  Is this normal or dangerous?  It gives me the option to not have this message appear again.  What should I do?

    i was messing around with some laptops at staples with the HDD shock protection that you are talking about. it seems very stupid since you cant move it with out the message. i tried typing on it and the message came up. if you turn the message off it wont harm anything but see if there is something to turn the sensitivity down. as long as your not dropping or hitting your laptop hard i see no reason to have it show the message. but that is just my opinion. its your laptop and your the only one that knows whether or not you want to know every time you move your laptop

  • Problem with After effects present text animations

    When I want to use the text animation presets I get an error message, an example is when I want to use a text "animate in" preset and got the following error message:  After Effects error:  Can't import file "Fly In From Bottom.ffx": unsupported filetype or extension. ( 0 :: 1 ). I have check my bridge script settings and they are activated for After effects.

    Sounds like you are trying to import a FFX file instead of applying an animation preset. Some users are reporting problems with Bridge. Just type the name of the animation preset into the Effects and Presets panel and apply it from inside AE.
