Question about dual monitors - view stretching across both screens

I recently switched from my desktop to a ProBook 4710s. The laptop is plugged into dual LG monitors. On my old desktop, I could keep the Photoshop program in one window (I could maximize it in one window) and drag the toolbar to the second window. Now, when I maximize, it stretches across both screens. This is pretty inconvenient, in that the image is cut by the borders of the screens (unless I unpin it). I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

The HP website says the laptop only supports 1 VGA external monitor. What adapter are you using to split the VGA port and have you contacted the company to see how to make it show how you want? I found nothing on the HP site on running 2 monitors and a adapter to do it.

Question about dual-monitor setup - advanced dock + PCIe card

I just got a Z60t at work. I had been using a dual monitor setup, but it doesn't look like my current config is going to fly w/ the new machine. Anyway, here's what I've got:
Primary monitor: Acer AL2416W (1920x1200 DVI)
Secondary monitor: Dell 1901FP (1280x1024 VGA)
I've read that the advanced dock might be able to let me use this setup with the Z60t if i put a PCIe video card in it. So here are my questions:
1. Will the advanced dock + PCIe video card allow me to run the two monitors listed above (I don't use the laptop screen at all)?
2. Which PCIe cards are compatible with the advanced dock?
3. Can I achieve the same resolutions with the advanced dock + PCIe card?
4. Will I need to split the VGA output, or can i use VGA + DVI like I do now (since the Z60t has no native DVI support)?
thanks!

Gary -- don't turn on the OS Display Mirroring. Turn it off.
You want Aperture to control how it uses your dual monitors. (You do not want the OS to determine it.)
Once you've turned off the OS "Display Mirroring", the set-up I specified above should give you what you want.
That set-up is:
"View → Main Viewer → {anything}", and
"View → Secondary Viewer → Alternate"
You must have the Viewer active (not the Browser) in order to change the "Secondary Viewer" setting. If you are in the Browser, activate the Viewer by double-clicking an Image.
Let me know if that doesn't work.

SXCE snv_114 SRSS 4.1 multihead maximize across both screens

I have been running snv_104 for some time and several versions prior with success using SRSS 4.1.
This is a home setup (mostly to keep me current on Solaris, which we use at work).
Several attempts at upgrading past 104 have caused SRSS to quit working, but today I found [bug 6799655|http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6799655] , which claims to be fixed as of 110, but still is a problem in 114. At any rate, the workaround works and now SRSS is functioning.
The setup is an Acer laptop, 4GB RAM, dual-core 1.6 GHz Turion driving 3 desks, each having two Sunray 1 (earliest model) appliances. Most displays are 1280x1024.
After the upgrade to 114, the maximize button on any window maximizes it across BOTH screens, rendering the maximize function useless. Otherwise, all works as expected.
Output from utxconfig.
bash-3.2$ /opt/SUNWut/bin/utxconfig -lv
DIMENSIONS=auto (default)
ENABLE_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=no (default)
DEFAULT_PSEUDOCOLOR_VISUAL=no (default)

SCREEN_ORDER=auto (default)

Any suggestions on how to keep maximize from spanning both monitors?
Thanks in advance,
Marty

This is probably bug 6825001, "Xinerama primary display setting seems no longer be honored by GNOME/GTK+ applications". It's supposed to be fixed in snv_115.

Advice about dual monitor, "newbie" friendly WMs

Need some advice:
Just got another monitor for my laptop (a samsung 23.5'' 2333sw), and I'm trying to tweak my monitor setup. What are the best panels/windowmanagers for dual monitors? Like right now I'm using compiz + tint2 and when I change workspaces, both monitors change workspaces. When I open a program, it appears in the taskbar on both monitors. I'd like them to be more independant (but still be able to share windows between them, so separate xorg files are out). Awesome kept things separate automatically, which brings me to my next question....
I don't want to use awesome (although it handles dual monitors exactly how I like, with no tweaking) because I'm having extended family stay over for a few weeks and I'd like to make my computer as user friendly as possible (part of me wants to do some linux converting). I'm talking totally mouse-based. OSX-esque dock, the works. Guys have any advice for the best window manager/apps to appeal to windows/mac users? Not that I want to make a windows clone. I just want something inviting, intuitive, with a low learning curve.
Part of me is thinking of maybe just tweaking awesome so it includes titlebars, is always floating, and has a dock. Since it handles dual monitors well right now, this might be the path of least resistance.
Thoughts?

That's a very interesting topic. The program lxrandr is able to control the behaviour of plugged monitors but obviously it is only able to display the same content on both screens.
so are there some lightweight programs that can differ between the content like e.g. gnome is able?

Dual Monitor/View problem......

I am having a problem running my dual monitors with my MSI gf4 ti 4200 128mb card...... i re-installed my drivers (i tried 30.00's and 30.82's) and they work fine, but once i reboot or change the resolution it'll show 4 monitors in my device manager instead of 2, and my resolution cannot change from 840x480x32 (used to be only 840x480x8 )....atleast i have 32 bit now.... but i think its cause the other 2 useless monitors are using up the resources for this settings, because when they arent installed it will let me go higher in resolution...... any experts here know anything about a fix or solution for all those monitors using "EXTEND MONITOR ONTO DESKTOP" without having 4 monitors showing? thx in advance,
RaZoR
ps.... i tried uninstalling the monitors but they just keep reappearing.....any MSI tech's know what i should do??

set "first display" - monitor. !

IMac Dual Monitor, Mini-DP to DVI, Screen Blinking

2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB Ram. ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics.
Been using Snow Leopard here at work, running dual monitors via Mini-DP to DVI cable. Never a problem previously.
Upgraded to Mavericks. Enjoying it. Until the 2nd monitor (Acer v223w) started intermittently blinking. Discovered I can trigger the blinking via the mail program on the second window - hiding and/or showing the info/mail activity left-side panel will cause the screen to blink.
Kinda befuddled. Any help?

I am having the excact same problem. With nearly if not an identicle system.
24" Mid 2007 iMac
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
Serial Number W87***B2ZCT
Display 1: Built-in iMac Display (1920 x 1200)
Display 2: ACER 23" Wide Screen AL2223W Display (1680 x 1050)
Since I updated to the latest version of mavericks the other night I have had frequent flickering and blacking out of my screen. It happens mostly when I mouse on or mouse off my dock menu, and open programs on the second monitor. There is also little yellow and organge flickers throughout the screen from time to time almost like an interference patter, generally 1px high and 20px wide with varying degress of static.
I have tried the following with no success:
- Reset my PRAM / NVRAM
- Reset my SMC
- Deleted com.apple display related files
- Used screenResX to try and find a different Display 2 options
- Lowered resolution of Display 2
This is extremely frustrating because I am a web designer and programmer, and having my 2nd monitor not functioning basically renders my work station useless for me.

Questions about Tour Updates? goes to Blank Screen and resets ???

I have a question about my Blackberry tour Updating...
I seem to notice my blackberry goes to a blank screen and a clock icon appears in the middle and goes around and around for about 10 minutes, what is this

I'm having the same problem, except it's been half an hour and the da*& thing won't start up. This is BAD.

Newbie question about entity and view objects

Hi everyone,
My first ADF application in JDeveloper is off to a difficult start. Having come from a forms background, I know that it is necessary avoid using post-query type lookups in order to have full filtering using F11/Ctrl+F11. This means creating an CRUDable view and getting as much of the lookup data as possible into the view without losing the ability to modify the data. In JDeveloper, I do not know how to build my data model to support that. My thought was to start with a robust updateable view as my main CRUD EO and then create a VO on top of that with additional EOs or VOs. But, I have found that I cannot add VOs to another VO. However, if I link the VOs then I have a master-detail which will not work for me.
For example, I have two joins to CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V shown in the queries below and need to have that show in the table displaying the CRUD VO’s data. It seemed that the best way to do this is to create a CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V entity object and view object. The view object would have two parameters, P_INSTANCE_ID and P_ATTRIBUTE name. Both the building and the unit are needed on the same record, and this is not a master-detail even though it might look that way. (A master-detail data control will not work for me because I need all this data to appear on the same line in the table.) So, I need help figuring out the best way to link these to the main (CRUD) view; I want as much of this data as possible to be filterable.
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'BUILDING NAME'
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'UNIT NAME'
Ultimately, I need to display a ton of data in each record displayed in the UI table, so a ton of joins will be needed. And, I need to be able to add records using the UI table also.
James

Hi Alejandro,
Sorry if I caused confusion with my first post. What I had in mind assumed that I could have a single CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V EO with a BuildingVO and UnitVO on top of it. So, I wrote the queries individually to show how I would invoke each view. When I realized that confused the issue, I rewrote the query to explain things better.
Now having seen your 2 queries. You need to create 2 EO. One for each table. Then create an association between the 2 aeO (this will be the join you are talking about). Then, you need to create a VO based on one of the EO and after you can modify and add the second EO (in here you select the join type).
After your done with this, youll have 1 VO that supports CRUD in both tables.
There were three tables in the query: CIEAV_BUILDING, CIEAV_UNIT, and T -- the main CRUD table. When you say that I should create two EOs, do you mean that they are to be for CIEAV_BUILDING and CIEAV_UNIT? Or, CIEAV and T? Assuming CIEAV and T, that sounds like it would allow me to show my building or unit on the record but not both.
By the way, everything is a reference except for the main CRUD table.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help (and patience).

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.

Some question about "Dual loop feedback"

http://zone.ni.com/devzone/conceptd.nsf/webmain/E7ABA6F4D569010A86256F5A005B64F3/
Switch Feedback on the Fly
Consider a heat-sink assembly application where a position sensor is the feedback device for the initial positioning along the Z axis. However, when the heat sink is pressed on to the PCB, a force sensor must be the feedback device for precise motion control in the latter part of the process. With NI motion controllers, you can switch feedback devices on the fly without reinitializing the controller. The new feedback device might require the system to have a new set of PID gains loaded immediately after the axis is reconfigured. To minimize the delay, you can configure an additional set of PID gains with the motion controllers.
anyone can give me some detailed materials about "switch Feedback on the Fly", for example, some programme,some words to explain it.
another question is that if i don't use the torque sensor, can i directly use the DAC to control the voltage to come true the torque control?
Thanks for your answer

anyone can give me more suggestion about the Dual loop feedback?
I really know little.
Hope your suggestion.
Thanks a lot

Dual Monitors-View stylesht in Code Insp?

Is it possible to view the css stylesheet in the Code Inspector window on my secondary monitor?
Many thanks.

But I'll tell you the truth, with DW's CSS navigator and CSS inspect mode, I don't see any real appeal to this contorted arrangement.
I'm with you there Murray.
I've shifted my workflow so I now prefer to view CSS via the browser developer tools (F12 in IE, Firebug, etc).
So I save in DW on my LHS monitor then refresh the browser views in my RHS monitor and inspect/tweak the CSS from there. Then I go back to DW and commit the CSS changes.

Question about dual table

Hi,
Can anyone clarify me this
Can I insert rows into dual table (being a programmer) ?? Using oracle 9i ... If no, can DBA do that ??? Say suppose, I have inserted 100 records in the dual table .. In any way, my applications are going to get hampered after inserting the records in the dual table
Regards

Or perhaps this:
SQL> SELECT * FROM
2 ( select rownum from dual connect by rownum <= 10 );

         7
         8
         9
        10
10 rows selected.In 9i at least you most certainly can insert into sys.dual, which is a regular table in the SYS schema, although you deserve all you get if you do so:

Questions about interfaces,monitors,keyboards,cables help please

I just bought a macbook pro 1.87ghz. w/ 1 gb I would like to record music primararly acoustic stuff (john mayer type stuff) I was wondering what types of
interfaces or keyboards, mics, monitors, cables ,should I buy to get the most professional sound with. I have a budget of about 1200.00 I want to spend any recommendations? Please Help I appreciate your time:)

What I would probably go with in this situation, using the limited information you have given:
Interface - Presonus Firebox $300
Keyboard - M-Audio Oxygen 8 v2 $150
Mics - Studio Projects B1 and C1 $300
Monitors - Event ALP5 $300
(really would depend on whatever small monitor sounds best to you)
Cables (firewire, usb, mic, stands, etc.) - $100
Now you will probably get as many different answers as you will responders but the best advice I can give is to read everything you can on recording and mixing. During this time, save up another $800 or so and treat your recording and mixing area.

Theoretical question about the monitor

Hello,
in my diploma thesis I compare the bw with a reference modell to check wether the bw is a "real" dwh or not.
The reference describes the monitor as component which observes the source systems and checks for changes to afford incremential loading.
The monitor of the bw observes the loading processes in the bw.
So there's a difference. Nontheless there must be further monitor which is conform to the reference, or? I did not find any information about that one.
Does anyone know about it?
Tobias

Hi Tobias,
as you already know, BW monitor it's not a delta monitor (as your reference describes), but only an administration tool that allows to follow your dataloading...
Generally speaking, in BW there is no a specific component "which observes the source systems and checks for changes to afford incremential loading" because (but only for delta-capable datasource) this is done in source system itself (and this is the integration concept typical of all SAP products) thanks to different mechanism (timestamp field for some flows, delta queue for others, generic delta and so on)...
Anyway, even BW has a delta management mechanism, but related to its datamart (loading between an ODS and a cube, for example) only and you can observe it from the changelog table and thanks to ROCANCEL field...
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto

"Simple" question about Activity Monitor

When Activity Monitor displays percentages, is that percentages relative to what else is running, or is that percentage of the CPU's processing capacity? Something that is using up 30-40% of the CPU's processing capacity is a lot more intense than something that is using 30-40% of the CPU's activity AMONGST the other threads running.
So which is it? Percentage of the CPU's processing CAPABILITY or percentage of what the processor is chewing on right now - regardless of how much more it could chew on.
This will help us decide if our current xserve (1G, 1CPU, G4) is adequate for our needs or we're constantly maxing out the processor and need to look for a faster server. I don't want to replace an older, but still adequate system just because newer is obviously faster.

It's entirely possible for a process to use more than 100% of a CPU.
In the case of a dual-CPU machine you could use up to 200% (100% x 2 CPUs).
In the case of a quad-core machine (2 x dual-core CPUs) you could see up to 400% (100% x 4 cores).
An 8-core server could see up to 800%
You see, the 100% mark is based on each CPU core, not all cores combined. I guess that wasn't clear in my earlier response.
