Screen resolution with 2 monitors

I have an MIS G4MX460-VTP video card instaled on Windows 2000 and two monitors connected to the card. I would like to know how to ajust the screen resolution on each monitor seperately. Presently, when I am openning the display properties of Windows I am seeing only one monitor even if the two monitors are connected. Thanks for your help.

I have a g-force 4200 128 meg card.
Windows 2000. I have a 21" and a 17" monitor and it spreads the entire desktop across 2 monitors but the resolution stays the same on both. Obviously a 17 to a 21, either the 17 wont carry the resolution i want for the 21 and shut down or everything is very large on the 21.
I also cant get it to behave correctly with monitor placement. My 17 is on the left and 21 on the right , but no matter what i do, software settings or physically switching the vga ports it treats the 17 as if it was on the right. these issues are regardless which is set as the primary or secondary, and my 17 is never listed by name anywhere as the 21 is . it seems to be considering that i have to have the same size and type monitor.  :O

  • [Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

    This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).

    == Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
    Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.

  • Changing screen resolution with a button

    Hi,
    I would like to ask if there is a way for an interface to change the screen resolution of the computer? I am wanting to build an interface that loads an interactive camera that works with processing however I am needing it to be at the resolution 800*900 as the webcam screen is too small on a full 1680x1050 resolution.
    Is there a way for the flash application to change the screen resolution with a button click? Are  there any alternatives to this?
    Thank you
    Jess

    It is to display a portfolio at my design school for assessment, they will accomodate any necessary things that i may need for assessment viewing so it is very important to me.
    Do you know what programs will work with this? What program would i have to install?
    I only need to do this for my assessment so it is almost a desperate search for something that would work.

  • Screen resolution of 2nd monitor

    Dear all,
    i am working on an application which uses 2 monitors.
    i have a VI which measures the screen resolution of the screen.
    i want to know the screen resolution of the 2nd monitor.
    how can i get that ?
    thanks,
    ritesh
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You could use an app property node, set to display -> AllMonitors. Index this with an array and unbundle the result. This will give info on the bounds of the screen. By subtracting left from right and top from bottom,. you can get the size of the screen.
    - Cheers, Ed

  • Screen Resolution for ALL monitors

    IN FLASH MX, I set my screen resolution to 760px (width) x
    560px (height). My monitor screen resolution is 1152x864. It looks
    fine at that monitor screen resolution. HOWEVER, the website looks
    h-u-g-e on monitor screen resolution 1024x768. It looks elongated
    on monitor screen resolution 1280x768.
    So I am wondering what is the best screen resolution to set
    when in Flash? that will look good on all monitor screen
    resolutions?
    [email protected]

    I have four files that show my settings plus another file
    that shows the code that comes automatically. Not sure how to
    attach the files with this reply.
    My monitor setting is 1152x864. My movie setting is 760x560.
    I am not sure what you mean by embedding in HTML. I thought
    that came automatically.
    My movie might be 760x560 but on a monitor screen 1024x768,
    my site is huge because the screen is smaller. And on a monitor
    screen 1280x768, my site becomes elongated.
    I am working solely in Flash, no Dreamweaver. I thought the
    target to HTML is automatic.
    I need to solve the situation of being huge on 1024x768 and
    the situation of becoming elongated on 1280x768.

  • Kde screen resolution with nvidia driver

    Hi,
    I am completely new to ArchLinux.  I really enjoyed installing it and its a hoot to play around with!
    I am having a problem getting the screen resolution to work well with the monitor and the resolution with KDE 4.3.  I found that by changing the resolution to 1024x768 and changing the refresh rate to 53 or 54hz, the fonts that otherwise display horribly with the nvidia driver and installed nvidia card will suddenly become beautiful.  I went to Kmenu, Settings, then display settings, and changed the configuration, and everything worked great.
    But on next boot up after I have shut down the computer, X doesn't remember these settings and the fonts look terrible again.  If I open the kmenu again and look at the display settings, they are still set at 1024x768 and 54 hz.  Once I have looked at them, the screen on the monitor goes dark for a second.  Then the computer knows that I want those settings without me changing anything, and adjusts to them without having to hit the apply button.  Then the fonts look great again.
    How can I get the display to start with those settings?  I have tried several configurations of the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file without success, so I need some help.
    Thanks

    I know some time back using nvidia driver with my particular monitor, i had to tell it what resolution/refresh rate to use by default or else X would make a poor choice as to what it wanted the default to be (put me in 800x600 or something like that  by default).  I was able to tell X to default to what I wanted by adding in a Metamode line in my xorg.conf, i think under the screen section. I'm out right now and won't be back to my box to look up exactly what I did, but hopefully this might give a starting point if you havent tried it already.  Metamodes in xorg.conf under the Display section if i remember right.  I specified a resolution there and it now uses that as the default.

  • Satellite A660-1FM - Max. screen resolution of external monitor

    Hi All,
    This may be (probably) an easy questions to answer but I have a Satellite A660-1FM and want to use it with my Samsung Syncmaster (forgotten model) external screen. I grabbed an HDMI->DVI-D adapter, and all is well, but here is my question:
    The toshiba specs page for my laptop (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A660-1FM/1096013/toshibaShop/false/) shows an external resolution capability of:
    Max Resolution : 2,048 x 1,536
    Max Refresh Rate : 100 Hz
    Non-interlaced resolution with max refresh rate : 1,920 x 1,200
    But I get what I call standard HDMI resolution (not surprising I guess) when connected HDMI->DVI-D to my external monitor. I have previously run this monitor on my desktop at much high resolutions than 1080P, so the monitor is capable.
    Just wondered what I'm missing here, or is it a case of the graphics card spec is higher than is possible to output from the laptop ?
    Thanks for any help
    Andy

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    As to native resolution of the external monitor - unsure how to find this - but it was running a with a lot higher res when it was connected to my old desktop (which has died and been replaced by this laptop)
    R/E the adapter - My Samsung Syncmaster monitor has a DVI-D cable sticking out the back of it, so I needed to connect that to my laptop - either vga-> DVI-D or HDMI-DVI-D to make use of it.
    The external monitor is currently running at 1680 x 1050 using the laptop HDMI output -> HDMI-DVI-D adapater -> external monitor.
    Before my desktop died, using the same external monitor I was running at 1680 x (guessing a bit here) 2048 ish (really sure I had a greater y res, this 1050 lark is really squishy).. in any case, the Y resolution was much much much better than 1050.
    But, according to the specification for this laptop, it can output 2048 x 1536 to an external device (How, the HDMI and VGA outptu cannot go that high right ?)
    So, I'm trying to figure out how to get the resolution on the laptop spec onto my external monitior, which has more than handled this resolution before my old gaming desktop died.
    Thanks again for the reply - I hope this makes my question clearer.
    Cheers

  • Screen Resolution with hwd [solved]

    I am having trouble getting the right screen resolution for xorg with hwd...
    I used...
    pacman -Sy xorg hwd
    hwd -xa
    My monitor and video card are optimally at 1280x1024 but when I use hwd, the maximum screen resolution seems to be set at 1024x768. Any ideas on how to get 1280x1024 without xorgconf?

    In the Display SUBSECTION(s) for the Screen SECTION in xorg.conf you must put something like this :
            Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
    The first mode listed is the mode that is used by default.

    But it still won't switch to any other resolution than 1366x768. Anybody see anything wrong with this?
    Good, you've learnt to use the wiki, please do that first from now on (google as well). Also, please use code-tags, makes it easier to read code/conf-files.
    It looks like you're trying to set your laptop screen to a resolution higher than it can go. Hint: not possible. If you had an external screen with a higher res then you could use that, but the resolution is limited both by the screen and the graphics card, and I haven't heard of any laptop screen with such a high resolution.

    I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
    My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.
    I have received also the driver disk with my LCD and I have installed the software.
    I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
    Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.

  • 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.

  • Full screen preview with one monitor

    Hello,
    I'm using Premiere Pro CS5 on a Mac with a single monitor. I would like to see the full screen preview on this monitor, hiding all GUI elements.
    By reading around, I could only find the suggestion of selecting the Preview pane and press the ~ or ` key. Unfortunatly, it seems that this shortcut only triggers the Maximize or Return to the Original Size commands. GUI elements remain in the display.
    Is there some preference to select somewhere?
    Thank you, Paolo

    That's as close as you can get with Premiere; it doesn't do a single-monitor fullscreen the way FCP does.

  • Screen resolution with Mode in BDC

    Hi All,
    In call transaction statement I am using mode as well as options from statement but 1 error is coming that i can't use mode and update with options from statement. But I want to run in background as mode 'N' as well as I want the default screen resolution.
    Please tell me some way to solve this issue.
    Regards,
    Sivaram

    Hi ,
    You need not use mode. You can set the values in OPTIONS itself.
    Eg :
    Declare a structure of type ctu_params.
    Data :gs_params type ctu_params.
         gs_params-dismode  = 'N'.
         gs_params-defsize  = 'X'.
    Call transaction 'MM01' using gt_bdccat
                                         messages into gt_bdcmsg
                                         options from gs_parms.
    Try this .

  • Help!..Urgentfixed Screen Resolution with Graphics Configuration

    Hello, i am try to make our swing application resolution fixed.
    whatever is system resolution does't matter.
    my application always running on 1024 *768 mode.
    But i face some problem when i run the project with is feature and open any dialog by clicking on button and move that dialog box that dialog box is not visible(transparent) to me.
    I am try most of thing but my problem was not solve.
    Please give me any suggestion as soon as possible
    It's very very urgent....
    my code is : -
    GraphicsDevice graphicsDevice = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice();
    GraphicsConfiguration graphConfig = graphicsDevice.getDefaultConfiguration();
    DisplayMode displayMode = new DisplayMode(1024, 768, 32,DisplayMode.REFRESH_RATE_UNKNOWN);
    mainframe = new JFrame("",graphConfig);
                             graphicsDevice.setFullScreenWindow(mainframe);
    if(graphicsDevice.isDisplayChangeSupported()){
                                  graphicsDevice.setDisplayMode(displayMode);
         }

    I am using Images in my swing project if i used make
    my project screen resolution free than my image
    module in great trouble so that's the reason i could
    not made my swing application resolution free (run on
    any resolution).
    Bullshit. I have used Photoshop (various versions) and Illustrator (various versions) for 5 years now and not once have they forced resolution changes on me.
    This is a dumb idea and unneeded. Please give it up.
    Now here is what you should do. Post a question in the Swing forum about how you are having problems with LayoutManagers when you use images and blah blah. Be prepared to post a concise, compilable and executable program that demonstrates your problem.
    Best of luck.

  • Leopard Screen share with 2 monitors

    Screen share with Leopard is one of its best and most useful features for me so far. I'm doing it a couple times a day.
    I have dual 20" screens. In Screen share, both show up on the other person's mac. If they have a laptop, that makes for very tiny viewing, because both have to fit on theiir screen.
    If I turn on the mirror feature in the Monitors Sys Pref, then only one of the screens shows up. But on my end all open windows cram into one monitor.
    What would be much better is if there could be a way to not turn on mirroring, and just be able to show the one monitor that has the menu.
    This probably isn't doable right now. I'm just mentioning it in case someone comes up with a hack or method.
