  • [SOLVED]Looking for a tiling manager which supports multiple monitors

    I use musca and I absolutely have no problems with it other than this :
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 04#p774104
    I also tried emailing the musca distribution list but it bounced, so I am not sure how actively it is being maintained.
    So I am on the lookout for a new tiling window manager. I know Xmonad supports multiple monitors, but I do not know haskell and I was hoping to find something else as well. Xmonad is also not a manual tiler.
    So let me know if anyone of you knows of a tiler that has the above support.
    EDIT : I have already looked at the Comparison of Tiling Window Managers over at the wiki. Infact I was the one who added Musca's entry in that table.

    "i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3. "
    To change the border of the current client, you can use bn to use the normal border (including window title), bp to use a 1-pixel border (no window title) and bb to make the client borderless. There is also bt  which will toggle the different border styles.
    Examples:
    bindsym Mod1+t bn
    bindsym Mod1+y bp
    bindsym Mod1+u bb
    or put in your config file
    new_window bb

  • Do mini's support dual monitors?

    Do mini's support dual monitors? If yes, how are they connected.

    Yes. It depends upon the the model Mini you have, The current ones have to video outs.
    - Thunderbolt. You can use a MiniDisplay Port to VGA or MiniDisplay Port to DVI adopter if you do not want to get a Thunderbolt monitor.
    - HDMI. The Min comes with a HDMI to DVI adopter. The HDMI port to not support a HDMI to VGA adopter.

  • Does LabVIEW 2009 support multiple monitors?

    Does LabVIEW 2009 support the use of multiple monitors for development? Screen real estate use in LabVIEW is difficult. It would help if the developer could use more than one monitor.
    In LabVIEW 2009 can you pin certain items to appear or pop up only on a specific monitor?
    Can you have Front panels only show up on one monitor and Block Diagrams on another monitor?
    How is this done?

    Not exactly like this, but LabVIEW VIs remember thier last location when saved and will come up at that positiont, unless that is entirely out of the current desktop in which case they will default back to the primary monitor.
    Also VI server supports multiple monitors too by giving you back a list of monitor rectangles so you could do a little utility that runs in the background to do what you want. Most likely you will not like such a deamon that pulls your diagrams and panels around as you move them on your screen, but you can try it out.

  • Let's Be Honest / Save Time: Lenovo T430s (NVIDIA) DOES NOT Support Multiple Monitors

    There have been a few comments / complaints / articles around the web regarding the T430s and difficulties using multiple monitors.
    But since this capabilitiy is clearly documented in all of Lenovo's specifications and marketing literature, I went ahead and bought an i7, NVIDIA, SSD, T430s with the docking station and all the bells and whistles to facilitate 3 or even 4 monitors.
    Well please listen and let's be clear:  IT DOES NOT WORK. Therefore, to be clear:
    DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE AND DOCK IF YOU WANT IT TO LIVE UP TO ITS MULTI MONITOR PROMISE.
    In the two weeks since FedEx arrived, here is the deal:
    1) I fussed around with the dock and monitors at home and the office to no avail, for most of TWO weekends.  (I am not a beginner).
    2) Then, I spoke to Lenovo in Atlanta's tech support for THREE HOURS.  No results
    3) I spoke to Lenovo's "premium support" (paid) for FOUR HOURS.  No results.
    4) I consulted with a 3rd party expert on mulitple monitors who was kind enough to remote into my machine for another HOUR.  No results.
    5) Muliple parties have confirmed that yes, all hardware is working and yes, everything can be seen in device manager, and yes, the NVIDA card is properly switched on in the BIOS, yes I bought the i7 version etc.
    6) And just in case, yes, we wiped the drive clean for a factory reset, yes we unistalled and reinstalled all the drivers and yes, we even deleted the Lenovo driver just in case the NVIDIA driver was newer or better and yes, we double checked the settings in the BIOS again.
    7) Yes, we tried every connector in the dock AND the laptop:  VGA, DVI, DP and mini DP - in EVERY possible combination.
    And NO, IT STILL DOESN'T WORK. AT ALL.  Two screens, take your pick, but THAT'S IT.
    Finally, not one but TWO technicians asked me to not quote them (so I wont mention any names) but that in their opinion IT JUST DOESNT WORK AT ALL, EVER, despite Lenovo's claims / insistance that it is configured for 3 and even 4 monitors.
    So the final conclusion was only that Lenovo must have rushed this T430 spec / configuration / capability to market (including the glossy brochures!) before figuring out that something is missing in the handshake between the mother board and the NVIDIA card? 
    Or in the firmware re swithing between the Intel (internal) and NVIDA card? 
    Or something else which prevents the NVIDIA card from seeing the ports on the laptop or the dock?
    In summary 1) you get NOTHING from the NVIDIA upgrade and with respect to more than 2 monitors, IT JUST DOES NOT WORK, AT ALL, EVER, PERIOD and END OF STORY.
    I too am a die hard old school Thinkpad enthusiast and with the company's service could match their classic products.
    I have an X201 that I generall love, but would appreciate more speed, an SSD and I have to drive at least 3 external monitors, using at least 1920 x 1080 resolution.
    Perhaps a W series Thinkpad would work, but I also travel so going up to the T430s was already a sacrifice vs the small size of the X201.
    There are some 3rd party solutions but they are expensive and not so sure how plug and play they are with 3 or more monitors - what the T430s and Mini Dock 3.0 are SUPPOSED TO DO.  But they dont.
    Not giving up yet, but this has been a real bummer.
    PS
    Lenovo was very focused, efficient, and uncompromising when charging my CC for "premium" support.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thors,
    Thank you and happy to report, albeit after all the hours and now weekend number 3:
    1) For the moment, I am able to repeat the 3 screen performance using mini DP from the Thinkpad and 2 DPs from the dock to the external monitors
    AND
    2) For the first time ever, I am just now for the first time running the 3rd external monitor from the VGA port on the dock.
    That is what I meant by using the various ports on the dock, so that the Thinkpad can simply be docked and undocked without connecting the mini DP - the purpose of a dock obviously.  As stated in other threads and articles, various configurations of the dock ports supposedly work to achieve 3 external screens, but until today was not able to do this.
    That is the good news and thank you for all help.
    The bad news is I stil have no clear idea why this has been so difficult, or where the problem lives that consumed so many hours of my own time and many hours with Lenovo tech support as stated above.
    Some success seems to have happened only after more than one set of LONG updates to Windows 7 (?)
    If I can replicate this set up the office (where I have 3 of the same monitors) I will be almost there.
    Thank you again to all for help and support.

  • High PPI Support Multiple Monitors: How it comes that Remote Desktop implements the hight PPI support very well and win 8.1 doesnt?

    http://skovalev.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/RemoteDesktop-HighPPI-Perfect.png
    Hello all: i am using an High PPI Monitors from Dell XPS15 (3600x1800) and a Normal FullHD above it. The FullHD monitor is an external device and is set up as the primary device. Scaling is set to per Monitor DPI.
    Now the Question: how it comes, that my RemoteDesktop on the secondary (internal) screen has almost perfect implementation for this????
    BUT i am am talking only about the RemoteDekstopManager, normal one does not works with high ppi in this way... Also ModernUI has no problems with scaling
    http://skovalev.de/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Firfox-and-Resolution-RemoteDesktop.png
    NOTE that the resolution on the remote desktop is set to 1600x900 and there are NO scaling problems even on the 3200x1800 monitor!
    On both picutures you find the dell monitor on the bottom and the scaled original windows explorer/firefox on the bottom right. See how blurry it is? I really breaks my eyes :(
    I hope Microsoft can finally fix the high PPI Monitors issue, since the solutions seems to be already implemented

    No, i mean the Scaling Support.
    If you use multiple monitor, in windows 8.1 you can scale per monitor. If you use this option with a High PPI monitor, like ultra HD or 4K, the image on the monitors with other PPI than the main monitors appears fuzzy and blury.
    But there are also scaling problems even if you use only single monitor. This article blog describes it pretty good:
    http://www.hanselman.com/blog/LivingAHighDPIDesktopLifestyleCanBePainful.aspx
    By the way there are lot article like this describing the scaling problems, not only by users but also by professinals and IT magazines...
    BUT here it comes: watch @ my screenshots. If the remote desktops resolution is 1800x900 and the native resolution is 3600x1800, there are no scaling problems! HOW? So like you can see on my screenshots a native application on my monitor appears fuzzy while
    the same application runnin of the remote desktop has clear type!
    That means for me, that windows HAS the possibility to scale clearly, but somehow this feature is only supported by RDCM...

  • Which mac mini model supports dual monitors

    Hi there
    I gather that at some point mac minis started to support dual monitors natively.
    Would anyone be able to clear up which model this was?
    Cheers

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    October 20, 2009 to June 14, 2010 Mac Minis supported mini-DisplayPort & and mini-DVI.
    June 15, 2010 and later supported mini-DisplayPort & HDMI.

  • What MacBooks can support multiple monitors?

    I am shopping for a MacBook but I love having multiple monitors (preferably two, in addition to the screen attached to the laptop). Can older MacBook Pros (such as 2013) support two additional monitors? What about MacBook Airs (I am assuming not because it does not have HDMI)? Or is it just the latest MacBook Pro model (Retina)? To be clear, I am interested in extended displays, not merely mirroring displays.

    I would recommend you a MBPR with about 8GB of RAM to securely avoid lag and a nice graphic card, perhaps the GeForce?

  • T61 with Nvidia QUADRO: DVI on Advanced mini doc don't work

    Hello all,
    I have a very annoying problem with lenovo T61 with NVidia quadro nvs 140 (type 7664-1GG, 1400x900, 7200rpm wdigital hard upgrade, Vista Ultimate x86, 4 Gb RAM (2 Gb upgrade)). The external display (ViewSonic VP2030 20") on DVI does not work after turning reboot or undocking/docking again. Usually a reboot resolves the issue, but not now: finally it doesn't work even after rebooting. If I plug it (or another display) via D-SUB, it will work. The monitor's DVI definitely in excellent condition.
    It happend several times previously with various drivers and BIOS versions, better with one BIOS version and worse with another. Now I have the latest BIOS and latest NVidia driver.
    Please, help!!!!

  • Photoshop CS6 CMS doesn't support multiple monitors system?

    There are two video cards (GTX560Ti) and two monitors separately connected to them in my system. With hardware calibration (MonacoOPTIX) I have two separate icc profiles for each monitor, being uploaded on Windows startup in their correspondent LUTs through Color managemet applet in Control Panel (Windows 7). That works properly.
    In my workflow routine I need Photoshop on monitor 2 (it's profile is acer2204.icm), but PS neither see nor use that profile, it uses the profile of another monitor (monitor 1, Benq.icm) only. Why? It's wrong. How can I make PS to use proper monitor profile? Is it possible? If not, then it is rather strange under Windows 7 improved color management features.
    http://s1.ipicture.ru/uploads/20120429/wYkrfTV8.jpg

    You seem to be confused about what Monitor RGB means. In your image you put a pointing arrow from Monitor RGB to the Custom color profile option as if you believe that those two options are connected. There is no connection between these two options. Choosing monitor RGB simply displays the images  in your monitor' color space without any color correction, in other words in effect this turns off the color management of  your monitor.
    If you go to Custom and choose the monitor profile of one of your monitors, this will give different result.
    If the "Preserve RGB numbers" is checked, this will result in the same effect as choosing Monitor RGB but will affect only one of your monitors - the one which is using the same color profile in the system - the other monitor, let's call it the second monitor, will try to simulate how the first monitor will display the color values if not converted.
    If the "Preserve RGB numbers"  is not checked, which is how you should use it most of the time, this will simulate on both monitors how the colors will look like if you convert from the currently used color space to the color space of one of your monitors.

  • Hi everyone, I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support a multiple monitor set-up (additional two screens)? If so what do I need and are there any draw backs?

    Hi everyone,
    I have just purchased a new iMac 27. Is this device able to support multiple monitor set-up (an additional two screens)? I am not a gamer, so require the set-up for 'office suite' type work and video viewing. if the set-up is possible, what would I need, is it pretty straight forward and are there any draw backs?
    Thank you.

    I just purchased the same imac. I connected the other displays using a thunderbolt to dvi adapter and it works fine.

  • You cannot shadow a session with multiple monitors enabled in Windows Server 2008 R2

    Searching through the forums (and according to KB2484290) it appears that there is no solution to this problem.  We are rolling out thin clients that are using dual monitors exclusively and we were very surprised to find out that we couldn't shadow
    sessions with dual monitors (which to us means that we can't shadow ANY sessions).  This now completely changes our approach to managing these devices. 
    We are running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 with Remote Desktop Services installed.  The thin clients are running Windows Embedded Standard 7 with the latest updates / RDP client. All steps have been followed to ensure that the apropriate settings and
    permissions have been set up to allow access into the session. 
    We tested by unchecking the RDP setting “use all my monitors for the remote session”, with that setting disabled shadowing worked
    Questions:
    1. KB2484290 is from Dec 2010 - It's now April 2012, is there a workaround / hotfix for this issue that will allow us to shadow sessions using the native Microsoft tools?
    2. Are there any recommended alternatives (software)?  Free/Paid - doesn't matter we just need something that will work.  I'm sure there are a few options out there but I am looking for suggestions for what people have used in the past that worked
    best for them to help us narrow down the choices.

    Hi,
    In my experience, so far, the workaround is Remote Assistance, Remote Assistance supports multiple monitors, and is the presently recommended solution if you need this functionality. Remote Assistance is a Windows Server Feature that must be explicitly installed
    on Windows Server 2008 R2; it is already installed with the client versions of the operating system.

    As far as I know, there are some third-party tools can be used as the solution, such as Teamviewer, ISL Online, etc.

  • Mac pro - multiple graphics cards - multiple monitors - gaming?

    Hi there
    Early 2008 I purchased a mac pro, with 2 8800gts and 1 2600xt. Works amazingly well, as it was originally purchased for number crunching (video cards were purchased to take advantage of openCL in snow leopard) and more screen realestate. (3 monitors)
    But the thought occurred to me... I am also a bit of a gamer...
    Are there any games that take advantage of multiple video cards???
    Mac or windows game recommendations are welcomed!
    Thanks!

    I'm sorry if my question was a little ambiguous, let me try to rephrase.
    If anyone is familiar with the Nintendo DS system, you will understand that this handheld device has 2 screens.. one is used primarily as a game screen, the second screen has the game map or console or some kind of readout or whatever. Bottom line is, the game takes advantage of 2 screens.
    My question to the masses is:
    Are there any games in Mac OS or Windows that take advantage of multiple monitors, and therefore multiple video cards. Not SLI or Crossfire as I understand the Mac Pro hardware does not support it. My question relates to any software titles like Flight Simulators, that can render images on 2 screens connected to 2 separate video cards.
    I have a copy of XPlane, and unfortunately, it only supports multiple monitors on a single video card, not multiple monitors on multiple video cards.
    So, just rehashing,
    Are there any games that are capable of rendering images or gameplay on 2 different video cards at the same time?
    If so, what are they?
    Cheers and sorry for the confusion.

  • Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini ?

    Can i have multiple monitor with my mac mini like i do with my PC ?  2 differents screens.. not mirror.

    There's lots of Mac Mini models since 2006 or so. What do you have?
    Most support two monitors but how you do it is different depending on model.
    Put this phrase into Google
            dual monitors, mac mini
    and you'll come up with the solution needed based on which MM you have.

  • NB520 - Multiple monitor support

    Do NB520 have multiple monitor support built in, if not, how can I have multiple monitor support for my NB520? I need for using a Pewerpoint 2007 (to display presenter view differs from audience view).
    Many thanks for an answer in advance.

    Hi smit_Aood,
    The NB520 supports one external monitor and you can use internal + external monitor at the same time (two monitors are supported). Furthermore you can choose if you want to extend the desktop on second monitor or clone it.
    Using FN+F5 key combination you can switch between different modes.
    Last but not least you can also use a Beamer or TV as second monitor. A certain computer monitor is not required. ;)
