Split 4k monitor into two "virtual monitors"?

Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a 4k monitor to replace a dual-screen setup. However, I like the functionality of having two things maximised at once. Is there any way to set up X so that it sees the 4k 3840x2160 monitor as two separate 1920x2160 monitors? That way, maximising an application would only take up half of the physical screen and the taskbar would only appear on one half.
Thanks!

You might want to look into fakexrandr or try a tiling window manager.

  • How to split one monitor into two, differently configured desktops

    Hello,
    I have a 27" iMac. I would like to split the screen into two differently configured desktops or monitors. Apps like TwoUp or Divy don't exactly do this. I'll explain it with an example:
    Suppose I'm working on a document and I need to open many folders to retrieve files. One common problem is that opened folders overlap each other and sometimes they overlap with the document I'm working on, or they go underneath the document. I would like to split the screen vertically in, say, two virtual, independent desktops/monitors, like this:
    - one window/space on one side (say, on the left) of the screen would contain the document  from top to bottom, with no dock bar on the bottom
    - the other window/space (right) would behave as a regular, full desktop, with the entire dock on the bottom
    In this way, if I need to navigate to find a file to use in the document, I would move the cursor to the right. The Finder would work only in this window/space, thus windows or other applications would never overlap or clutter the left side of the screen. Drag-and-drop from right to left should be possible.
    One way to imagine it is as if the 16x9 monitor were comprised by two vertical, 8x9 independent monitors side by side, each with its own configuration.
    Is this possible? Can anyone recommend an application or type of setup?
    Thank you,

    Looking for something like this?
    You can tell Display Maid to save the positions of your open windows across many apps and later restore those positions when things become a mess. With Display Maid you don’t have to restore windows one at a time, or even one app at a time. Display Maid restores all saved window positions across all apps with one command. It will also restore window positions automatically when it detects a workspace change.

  • Simulating two virtual monitors on one physical monitor

    Is there a application or system extension to allow simulating two virtual monitors on one physical graphic card output?
    The origin of the problem comes from the wish to drive two external displays from a macbook pro. (without USB driver!!)
    The only solution is to use Matrox Interfaces that tell the system that one big screen is pluged to the grafic card. So the Graphic card puts out a signal for a big widescreen dispaly. The Matrox splitt it up the two physical monitors.
    The problem is that dual screen applications like Aperture or apples color don`t work with floating windows and no window snapping works good etc.
    So a system extension or thired party application must split the one big display coming from the matrox in two virtual displays that are like the original two.
    It is a shame that apple don`t provide this functionality (two external monitors) on their high end laptops. They may loose their attention on the pro user and keep on focus on the dummy Iuser. Unfortunately this means a reduction of quality in their high end products.
    Thanks for answering that wired question!

    The only thing akin to what you want in OS X is Spaces (System Preferences) which can be used to set up virtual screens. I don't know if it's what you are looking for. I'm not aware of any such third-party utility although you can search for one at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    I suppose there may also be a commercial product around, but I don't know of one. Matrox makes a hardware add-on for having multiple monitors on a laptop, but I don't know if they have a utility such as you have described. You may find something doing a Google search.

    Keep options: Select the paragraph, then CtrlAltK (Mac: CmdOptK, I
    think).
    If you want the paragraphs in pairs, create two paragraph styles. Style
    A has keep options set to start on a new page, and also, its Next Style
    is style B.
    Style B has no keep options, but it's Next Style is Style A.
    Select all the text.
    From the flyout menu of the paragraph styles palette, apply Style A
    "then next style."
    Now all paragraphs will be alternating -- style A, style B, style A, etc.
    Now do what I wrote initially, and you'll have pairs of paragraph in
    separate text frames.

  • Splitting the Company into Two Entities

    Our company is currently using SAP ECC, SAP SCM and SAP CRM. We have planned to split the company into two to manage the existing two different businesses in separate landscape. (i.e business A & B are operated under one company code). In future state, business A and B will be operated in separate landscapes.
    Has anyone carried out similar company split activities in the past? What are the challenges encountered in such a large transformation program? What are the key points to be considered in such transformation?

    Hi,
    That is one of the approach but it is very time consuming activity. Other thing I can suggest you to do the archiving of the data that is not required in the new landscape and then delete the data based on business process and other scenarios.

    i want split file into 2 file,according to header and item details.one table containt header information (label R01) and second table containt (label R02).
    can anybody help me for this.how can i split into 2 file.
    Thanks
    Vishwas Sahu

    Create 2 internal tables. sat it_header, it_detail
    Check for 1st 3 characters and if it is R01 then send it into it_header and if it comes out to be R02 then send it to it_detail.
    Once done... You can either attach these tables into mail as two seperate files
    Or you can download each internal table using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
    Hope this helps!!

  • Oracle rownum usage for splitting a Table into two equal parts.

    Hi All,
    I have a table which has like 1.2 billion records and i would have to split the table in two parts for my Archiving needs.Unfortunately that table does not have any unique key or primary key or data stamp which i can rely for.
    I would have to use the rownum concept to divide the table.
    I am using the below
    SELECT * FROM (SELECT ENAME, SAL FROM EMP ORDER BY SAL DESC) WHERE ROWNUM < 5000000;
    But the problem is that the table is taking forever to retrieve as it has to do a order by and then retrieve the data as per the where clause.
    The question i have is that instead of using a orderby clause to get the same rownum for the row every time, can i directly rely on the fact that the database is read only and the Rownum would remain same even without oder by clause....
    Thanks....

  • IMessage split conversations up into two threads

    I've got an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S running iOS 7. I've got an extremely annoying issue I can't solve. iMessage split conversations up into two threads. And sometimes certain messages never reach a device. Not syncing, how it fix it.
    Thanks.

    Settings>Messages>Send/Receive...look here for what addresses/number you have listed for "You can be reached at". Are they the same? Also, on each device, "Start New Conversations", are they the same?
    Also, you don't necessarily control how the sender chooses to contact you...email or phone number.

  • DVR Splits Recorded Show into Two Segments?

    I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with their DVR splitting a show into two segments?
    I have the Motorola 7216? Home Media DVR.  At times, when we record a show, and then go to play it, the show will be listed in the Recorded Programs as two shows.  For instance, the first listing will list that the show recorded for 7 minutes.  Then, the second listing of the same show will show that it recorded for the remaining 23 minutes.  It is the same 30 minute show, but for some reason, the DVR stops recording after so many minutes, and then finishes recording the show as a second show.
    Has this happened with anyone else, and if so, is there anything that can be done to fix this?  The only answer I have gotten from Verizon is to unplug the DVR to reset it. 
    This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough that I find this annoying.
    I would appreciate any input anyone can give.  Thanks.

    This has happened to me on occasion, but  the reason was that there was a power surge, and the box rebooted.  Or, if the STB crashes and reboots, it also splits the recording.  Other than power issues or stb reboots, it hasn't happened, and I have the same STB.
