Shaman and dual monitors problem [SOLVED]

I recently added dual monitor to my KDE4 install (using twinview and nvidia). Now Shaman will not start and show in panel. Anyone have any ideas besides returning to cli yaourt and/or pacman?
Solution:
Install
kdemod-core/kdemod-shaman 1.0.9-2

make sure you set the primary display device to the displayport, and then connect your vga port.

Dual Monitor problem and an idea

Hey everyone. I use two monitors and when i have iTunes open on the primary one(the laptob monitor) i am able to scroll through my music in iTunes using my mouse wheel. However, when iTunes is opened on the other monitor, scrolling through songs with the mouse wheel doesnt work and i have to do it using the scroll bar. Other applications such as firefox scroll just fine on both monitors. Any ideas??
Also, I couldnt find anywhere to post suggestions so im just gonna do it here. I think it would be nice to be able to save playlists and then be able to load them if you ever have to reinstall itunes or there is some other issue. I know you can just put the music into categorized folders in windows explorer, but that doesnt allow you to have the same song in more than one playlist unless you copy the music file. I dont think it would be very hard to do, just save to some file that stores the file name and location of each song. then upon importing the playlist, it could scan the saved location for that file and add it to the playlist if its there, and if not it could ask you what other folder it should scan in for that song. I think this would be very beneficial for people that create many large playlists that would take hours to recreate.
Thanks for your help,
Adam

I assume you have installed the latest drivers for the card? I have that
card and dual monitors with no problems. By the way, go to the NVIDA
site and download the drivers, not the Sony site as some do. There was a
new version of the driver just last month.

M93p dual monitor problems; monitor turns off and cannot be turned on again

Hi,
we have multiple M93p tiny computers causing problems in dual monitor setup (VGA / Displayport->DVI). Our users (already >5) keep telling us, they leave their workplace, return, then DVI attached monitor if off and they do not find a way to turn it on. This is true; the only workaround that has been found by our users is to bring Win7/32bit into standby mode and awaking it again.
Needless to say, we turned all windows energy saving options off (computer standby/hibernate, monitor turn off). Still the problem appears.
Maybe there is something wrong with DVI power/DVI signal?
- Monitor independent, as far as I can see
- Independent from Windows energy saving modes
- BIOS updates did not help
[todo]: Try Intel/(AMD?) drivers, let users test.
I haven't seen exactly when the monitor turns off because it is reported by users. I had a testing machine, but was not able to reproduce.

Anyone?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Laptop - Docking and Dual Monitors

Hi there,
I have a personal HP Dv4t Laptop, work has purchased for me a an Elitebook with docking station and dual monitors - I am trying to figure out when I am using my personal non work PC how to now connect this Laptop to least one of the monitors.
I have a single dongle connected to the docking staition for one monitor, but it's too short and only a single one and not to able attached to my personal laptop.
I know it's probably pretty easy if you are use to configuriung, but I am not. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi ecat,
I wanted the product number so that I could check the specs on your notebook to see what ports you have on your notebook. However, your model is a CTO which means Custom to Order so I can't pull up the specs.

TouchSmart and dual monitors - lag time

I have the HP TouchSmart 320 PC and have set up the connection with a second and third monitor. I had to purchase a seperate piece to connect them. When I first connected them, they were working perfectly. However, I had to take my PC to get it cleaned due to some viruses. Now there is a huge lag time between my main PC and dual monitors. For example: if I play a video, it will not show up on the dual monitor but will play on my main PC. How can I fix this to where they sync up better?

Hello,
What is the exact model of the 320 PC you have?
What are the other monitors brand and models and what piece have you bought to connect those monitors to your unit?
Can you explain the setup or even provide pictures of the setup?
Thanks,

Mac Pro, Leopard 10.5.2, Photoshop CS3, 8800GT and Dual Monitors - Crashing

Hi, I received my Mac Pro (with Nvidia 8800GT) earlier this week and set it up with my dual monitors. I soon discovered that Photoshop CS3 crashes when scrolling a 'zoomed in' image with dual monitors. Photoshop is setup so that all palettes are on the smaller samsung monitor and the main image window I'm working on is on the 23" cinema display.
I've updated both the OS and CS3 but cannot solve the problem unless I switch to a single view setup, ie, drag all the palettes over to the larger monitor so that photoshop is no longer dual monitor. Then it works fine. Although it's a workaround, it's not an ideal situation. Has anyone else found this to be an issue? Have you found a solution?
I've also re-installed Photoshop, visited a genius bar and changed mice!
Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

My Mac Pro had been running 3 Dell monitors on two NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT cards for months, and with the (I think) Safari update all of a sudden the Mac freezes, 1 monitor displays garbledy gook, and the other is blank with a blinking power light. That is, until yesterday when the power light refused to come on. So I says to myself, "Self, how about testing them on my iBook?" The 1704FPT will not power on, plugged in to a computer or not. The 1707FP shakes like crazy when starting up on the iBook, then settles in and seems to work. Meanwhile, the SP2008WFP is working alone on the Mac Pro, but not totally trouble-free. What the heck is going on?

2014 mac mini dual monitor problem

I just brought a mac mini (Late 2014) i have two displays monitors connected, one HDMI to DVI. and one thunderbolt to DVI. I can have both thunderbolts connected and the problem its the same, when back from sleep ,one monitor doesn't turn on. i have to disconnect one and then both work, it only happens when the mac goes to sleep. on cold restart or turning the mac on, this problem doesn't occur. any help.

I have this same problem too. I purchased the Mac Mini with the intention of running dual monitors. I'm using the HDMI and mini-display/Thunderbolt to DVI. I've also tried MiniDisplay/Thunderbolt to HDMI and I'm experiencing the same problem as angelfromfullerton. Whenever it tries to wake from sleep, it can't decide on monitor arrangement and keeps flicking between the two, making the OS unusable and forcing a reboot... EVERY TIME. I've also experienced the issue once or twice on a cold boot. It doesn't matter which Thunderbolt port is used either.
I'm going to have to return my Mac Mini unless this problem is fixed asap.

Dual monitor problem...

I have had my 13 inch macbook connected to my TV with no problems. Recently I unhooked the laptop to travel and when i connected it back to my TV, it only registers as having dual displays. Before I disconnected it, the TV was the only display shown on the computer, there weren't any choices for screen arrangement like there are now. and when i mirror displays the tv image does not fill out the creen as it did before and is all grainy and unappealing. Can someone please help me get back to how it was...so in short, can I turn off the dual moniters and pick just one display to use. I like keeping my computer closed.

Hi maloneisgood,
In order to use just your TV as your main monitor, first uncheck the Video Clone option from the Monitors panel (under System Preferences). Connect your laptop to your TV as if you wanted to use a dual-monitor setup, then Restart your MacBook, close the lid and keep closed. When Mac OS is fully booted, you can open your lid again.

TV@nywhere Dual Monitor Problem

I have the regular TV@nywhere card.. Has anyone else had this problem?
I have a dual monitor setup (extended desktop) on an ATI 9000 pro.. At some point over the last few months I began having problems dragging the WinDVR (player) window from one monitor to the other, resulting in the WinDVR process hanging, or an insta-crash of my system. It used to work fine...
I am assuming it might have something to do with one of 30 or so ATI patches that I installed since the last driver update from MSI. On a positive note, with the newest ati patch, the computer doesn't crash anymore, but the app still hangs (except for the audio which will NOT stop, lol)
MSI KT4V-L
Athon XP 2100+
512 MB pc2100
ATI 9000 Pro
MSI TV@nywhere
WinXP Sp1a

Lets start from the bottom and work up. Have you eliminated the cable & splitter hookup as the source of the problem by connecting to a TV? I had a problem similar to that when I first installed my TV@Plus and I had to remove/re-install the software and get a new cable & splitter before I could get it work.. No you don't need to use RG6. It does not hurt to have better but it's not a requirement.

Dual Monitor Problems with Vista

I have a Lenovo T61 laptop running Vista ultimate 32 bit, SP1. I schlep this back and forth from home to work and put it in docking stations at each location. The docking stations have external monitors attached. At work I have a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" Wide screen, (16:10) monitor with optimum resolution of 1680x1050. At home I have a Viewsonic VA912b 19" standard aspect ratio monitor with a suggested resolution of 1280x1024.
I typically run in dual monitor mode using my laptop display and the external monitor and extend the display across both monitors. Sometimes I run with the laptop display as the primary monitor, sometimes the external is the primary.
When I take my system from one location to another, generally upon boot or resume it recognizes the different monitor configurations and adjusts the display properties accordingly. However, about once a week I have a problem. For example, I shutdown at home, came into work and attempted to boot the system. Upon boot my external monitor displayed a frequency out of range error and did not display anything else. I suspect that the external port was configured to a setting that was not supported by the monitor. It appears that this was the primary display because my laptop only showed the background and the desktop did not display. Since nothing was displayed, I couldn't click the start menu, any icons, etc. I tried to adjust the monitor configuration by right clicking the laptop screen and selecting personalize, but the personalization dialog would not show up and I suspect that it went to the blanked out external monitor.
Please advise on how I can handle this situation. Is there any way to move the display from the external to the notebook when this happens? I noticed that Viewsonic has Vista drivers listed on their web site. Would it help to download and install these? Is there anything else you can suggest?

The main point of posting this topic was to point out the appalling service offered by Adobe but, of course resolving this issue would be nice also.
So here goes;
Dual monitor issue (Applies to CS4 applications; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. but not Flash or Dreamweaver or any other manufacturers software).
I have 2 monitors installed with Windows Vista 64bit, using Nvidia Quadro FX 1700:
-1280 x 1024 (primary display on the left) &
-1440 x 900 (on the right)
With a CS4 application maximised in the larger monitor, all the drop down menus display fine, if the chosen drop-down menu is taller than the height of the monitor (fonts, for instance), an arrow appears at the bottom of the menu so that I can scroll down the rest of the menu. If I then reduce the size of the CS4 application window, move it to the smaller monitor and maximised it again, the drop-down menu (which displayed and functioned fine in the primary monitor) is cropped off so I can't access the rest of the menu.
This might seem a minor irritation, but for batch-processing of merged files (the main purpose for having 2 monitors) CS4 makes the 2nd monitor redundant.
Another, less irritating issue (again, only with the applications named above) is that the window when maximised in the secondary monitor 'hangs over' into the primary monitor.

Win7 dual monitor problem

I am using Zenworks 10.3.4 and can only get one monitor to show in the inventory on Windows 7 machines . Xp dual monitors works though .
Is there a reason the agent isn't seeing dual monitors or is this configurable ?

Dual monitor problem with MSI 5950 Ultra

OK, I finally got the money to have a dual monitor setup.
I am using a MSI 5950 Ultra card
Soyo 600T Dragon Ultra MB
1 gb Corsair XMS 3500 ram
AMD 3000+ processor
Adaptec 2410SA SATA Raid card
4 Western Digital 74gb Raptors in RAID 0
2 V201S 20.1 inch Viewsonic LCD monitors.
XP Pro OS
I have updated all BIOS/DRIVERS on all hardware.
The problem is when I connect both monitors I get a system freeze. It is random and does not have to be event (ie mouse movement) generated. There are no event log entries. If I disconnect the analogue monitor the freezing goes away. Is this a known bug? If so when can I expect a driver/bios fix on the card? If not can anyone suggest a fix.
I have removed all non-essential cards.
THanks
Steve

Have you installed the driver of the monitor?

Dual Monitor problem on reboots

I have a dual monitor setup with nvidia video card and XFCE Desktop and I am having a minor irritating issue...
Sometimes when I boot up my dual monitor setup is fine, one monitor is set as left side and the other is right, set to span between the two. xrandr shows one as DVI-I-1 and the other as VGA-1
Other times on a reboot, both will start as identical and I will need to fix the resolution and set xrandr to span (I have written a small script to do this when the need arises). At these times xrandr shows DVI-I-1 and VGA-2, so I see that that is where the problem comes from...
My question is first: WHY does it seemingly randomly switch between VGA-1 and VGA-2, and second: how to fix it?

Maybe just a point in the right direction to where I should look...

HP Pavilion dv7-2250ed and dual monitor setup

Good evening,
Currently I own a HP Pavilion dv7-2250ed notebook using a dual monitor setup (notebook display + extra monitor)
I wondered if it would be possible to hook 2 monitors to this laptop? (notebook display + extra monitor + extra monitor)
If this causes the problem, the notebook display isn't requered.
Also, if not, is there a dockingstation for this brand which supports the above?
Kind Regards,
Cor van Noorloos

I have attempted to connect one monitor via HDMI and the other one via the VGA interface.
Using Windows 7 OS and "default configurations" (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution) it is possible to use both external monitors as desktop. However the laptop screen will go blank. So at any time it appears to be possible to have an extended desktop with only two screens.
- Does HP have any drivers/solutions that make it possible to extend the desktop from "Mobile PC" display to two additional desktops?
- Has anyone tried third party software (e.g.. UltraMon)?
- Is there a technical restriction (e.g.. Videocard capability)?
- How about using a Linux OS (e.g.. Ubuntu)?
- What external Hardware exists that would enable me to extend my desktop to three or more monitors simultaneously?
Many thanks in advance.
It's the graphics card and the number of physical connections available. You might have 3 connections (notebook display being one) but the graphics card likely does not support more than 2 monitors. Intel graphics only support 2, however you may be able to find some AMD chips that will support more however that would be a major upgrade.
