Unknown update made dual screens act wonky
Late 2008 MacBook Pro 15. 10.6.8 OS. I use Fusion Version 3.1.3. I use spaces and go between laptop screen and laptop and external together regularly.
When on dual screens I typically have Fusion in lower left spaces using dual screens in full screen mode.
This all worked PERFECTLY! and was fabulous until recently. I always do the regular software updates from MS (fusion is running windows 7) and Apple and Adobe and Java and, and, and...yes it get's a little frustrating.
Recently and very suddenly my dual screen changed dramatically. Suddenly I can not get the mac or fusion to recognize the laptop screen as the primary screen by default when it is open and I'm attached to an external screen. This was default before. Frequently I have to go into the screen resolution in win7 and set it to make screen #2 as primary screen just to get my start bar down where it was before naturally. Many times I find the screens are in full screen dual monitor mode but the mouse has decided to show in the external screen but click in the same relative position but on the macbook laptop screen. the only way out of that is to get out of "use both screens" and then go back in again, a tedious task considering then I also have to reset the main screen.
I am not sure if this is an apple update problem, a fusion update (I didn't think I had done a fusion update but I might have and not remembered) or some other problem. It sounds suspiciously like some of the problems people are reporting with Lion so I don't know if an update of one supporting program that made it "more compatible with lion" made my life misserable. I have not gone to Lion specifically because I used to LOVE LOVE LOVE how this works. Now it is truely frustrating as all get out.
Anyone with any ideas I'd love to find out.

Dual screen problems after last updates
Hello everyone,
it was long time since our Arch gave me some problems, but then now I'm fighting furiously with dual screen configuration with new gnome. Let me explain.
I upgraded the home PC that I hadn't update for months, so I updated more or less everything ... kernel, nvidia drivers, gnome, etc..
The PC has always been dual screen (no twin view, without xinerama), two screens (one on a LCD monitor and one on a TV) where I could run separate applications independent.
Now, after the update, when I launch any application in the second screen (the TV) it starts on the first (screen).
Obviously I have't made any changes to xorg.conf before and after the upgrade. I also tried to recreate one with the nvidia-tools but nothing ...
Can you help me? Someone had the same problem?
I post my xorg.conf, I hope that someone has a hint. I can no longer watching movies on TV and it is very annoying!

Writing the post a tried to install fluxbox, and then... all ok. In fluxbox all works fine. I think this is a problem related to the new gnome screen configurer.
I post an image of gnome screen configurer vs nvidia-tools.
Googling around I found that new gnome screen configuration (using xrandr) is not compatible with nvidia drivers. Could be this the source of the problem?
Help please

Does your Mac go to the sleep status when you close the cover? If so, the remote session can be terminated due to time out and the time out value may be redesigned in the latest versions.
Thanks.

External monitor simply not working - including with external dock (dual screen)
I can't get the external monitor (aka dual screen) to work on my T60 via the VGA port. My model is currently running Windows XP and has a ATI Radeon X1300 video card.
I'm 6 months out of warantee (although this problem started while in warantee but I can't convince Lenovo of that).
I've tried the following:
- ensuring "extend my monitor onto this desktop" in windows display properties
- disabling/enabling Presentation Director and trying all the schemes
- setting all different combinations of modes for resolution/colour on both (LCD + VGA) monitor
- trying two different monitors and cables (which did work with other computers)
- Updating the video drivers (from the Lenovo website) and Presentation Director to the latest versions
I then figured it might be a hardware fault, so I tried to see if the external monitor was activated on bootup. I made sure the "LCD + VGA" option on boot was selected in BIOS. Still no joy.
Finally, I figured the actual VGA connector was broken so I bought a compatible mini docking station (port replicator) and attached the VGA cable to that and even that didn't work.
What on earth could be wrong if it's not the software and not the VGA connector? The video card is working as its powering the LCD display?
Is my only option to give it in to repair (I can't afford that)?

Hi,
Does the external connections and cables work with another system. I'd do that first.
If all of it works with another system then it could be drivers or internal things but try that first.
There are some driver updates on the Lenovo site. Make sure your BIOS are updated and such.
Good Luck,
Yup, checked the cables and monitor with another system (actually with the same laptop using a USB->VGA adaptor which isn't a long-term fix)
Also updated to all the latest driver including a BIOS update (which I forgot to mention).
thanks,

I have been using dual screens with no problems until I installed PS CS5. Now when I drag an image onto the secondary screen the canvas goes black as soon as I relsease the mouse. I can see the rulers etc. and when dragging across the diaplay the image can be seen but as soon as I 'let go' it's blacked out. The really frustrating thing is that this doesn't happen in AI or Dreamweaver (or indeed any other program!).
So far I have
Reset the monitors
when changed to show the same on both screens (clone) the image can be seen perfectly ok on both screens
when the secondary monitor is made the primary the problem remains (i.e. the PS image is blacked out on that monitor)
Checked for updates for the monitors (none needed)
Checked CS5 up to date (no updates required)
Checked for graphics card updates (none needed) - NVidia GeForce 8600 GTS
Uninstalled and re installed PS
Pointed in an annoyed manner at the useless window open on my secondary screen
Is there something simple that I have mistakenly chosen that is preventing the use of my secondary screen?Check to see if nVidia has released an updated driver for your hardware. Go to their web site to check.
Unfortunately, from my observations nVidia may have neglected to keep their driver quality up with later releases for the 8600 GT. I have reports from some of my own customers using my OpenGL software that the driver is troublesome, and have actually reported better results from an older driver version than the very latest release.
Other things you can try to work around the problem:
In Photoshop, Edit - Preferences - Performance, [Advanced...] and change to Basic mode.
Try disabling OpenGL drawing entirely. If that corrects the issue it's almost a certainty that the nVidia driver is at fault.

I'd like to see next generation of Touchsmart PC with Touchsmart keyboard and dual screen
Where you have a monitor as the display and a seperate keyboard, but the keyboard is another monitor which operates as a keyboard, for example something like this...
This ultimately would mean that the keyboard could be application driven, that is it could be specifically configured anyway that the application requires it. I'd also like to see a dual screen option for touchsmart PC - a screen that is built in and can be slid out from the rear of the monitor to act as dual screen, extended screen...

New mac user, IMac with thunderbolt dual screen no longer works
Hi, I have just started using a mac for work and was loving my new dual screen setup. it was functional for a day and now the second screen is black and saying I should check the signal cable. I have
Tried other DVI cables that go from thunderbolt to screen
tried 3 screens, one of them from a different brand
I have updated firmware
and restarted / shutdown/ disconnected device then reconnect about 10 times
and pressed detect displays about 20 times (it seems to detect the screen, its just not sending it anything?)
before the screen stopped I had to do a restart for the latest Itunes and mac updates
but to no response. please help my productivity is really reducedTake a look at these links,

Any one help me with dual screen?
I am trying to get my LCD monitor work, which is plugged in VGA.
However, when i using "xrandr --output VGA --auto" to set it up, i get this failure "xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA"
i am using intel graphic card, and the result of "xrandr -q --verbose" is as follows,

and now i am using awesome wm. any ideas? Thank you!!konni wrote:
how many monitors do you want to plugin? three? like damjan said, not sure if that works at all.
or are the hdmi outputs idle and you're just trying to plug in a second screen?
whats the exact problem? no output on that screen at all? or mirroring the internal one? in that case, try
xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS
(or left-of...)
can you plug that monitor in with hdmi? (adapter/etc) you might try that as well, maybe just the vga fails.
wow.. thank you konni... and thank damjan
i turned off HDMI-1, then I could get VGA work!
now i have dual screens, pretty cool. -
Screen goes black, shut the lid for a few minutes, open the lid the turn on chime comes on and the screen comes back to life. The computer itself has continued to update just no screen. After a few minutes goes black again. Is logic board going bad or graphic card issue? Trying to decide if computer is worth repairing as it was made in 2007.
It does sound like you might have a faulty video connection. See if you can make a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store.

MSI gtx 570 twin frozr III - Dual Screen Windowed mode issues
Ok, so... I was running a solo monitor 1440x900 resolution, i recently purchased a brand new asus 24 inch 1900x1080 monitor. Basically what is happening is when i play WoW or Battlefield 3 in windowed mode on the 1080p monitor the colors are not perfect. When i go full-screen on the new monitor no issues, but that is not what i want to have to live with. When i say the colors are not perfect what i mean is, for example when i look @ the sky instead of being a smooth transition or blend from one shade of the sky to the next it is bars or stripes of each shade as if i am looking at the sky in 8 bit color instead of 32 bit color. Another thing to note is that when i login to windows 7 the blue screen where i input the password has the same effect. The 1440x900 monitor is running everything just fine. the only issue is with the 1080p monitor.
I am using DVI cabling for both, and have swapped them around to see if that was the issue, and sadly it is not. I am running the updated gpu driver, which i uninstalled and re-downloaded and installed again tonight.
When i use the HDMI cable, that fixes the issue but i need the HDMI for my 42 inch tv.
Also in windows, just to cover my bases with this post, i have the native resolutions properly configured, as well as in the game for the given monitor it is being played on.
Anyone know of a fix for this?
i7 2600k
asus PBZ68-v Pro/Gen3
Msi gtx 570
Samsung syncmaster 953bw (1440x900)
Asus VS248 (1900x1080)
I am more than happy to re-explain anything that may not be as descriptive or clear to you just let me know!
EDIT!
When i run the 24 inch 1080p new monitor as my only monitor on the system, everything runs perfectly...
Edit #2
Ok so i have pin pointed a possible cause
This msi gtx 570 struggles with operating multiple displays with different resolutions, while dual screening with my 1080p television and the 1080p display, everything runs as expected. Having to also render a 1440x900 display is probably the reason i am having the graphic issues. Is there any type of utility, setting, or other fix to this type issue? also this gpu is certainly less than 2 weeks since i purchased i could get a different card to remedy this... any suggestion? if you suggest a different card can you say so with certainty that it will work properly under the condition in which 2 resolutions will be required?Ok, the problem is fixed and Svet i skipped a step or two. I installed the new driver with the clean install to save time for an initial attempt. What is interesting is that with the Geforce driver, only one 1920x1080 resolution was available
The msi driver gave me 2 options, 1920x1080 and 1920x1080 (native). The latter resolution fixed the issue for whatever reason.
The solution to this problem is so easy, when i purchased battlefield 3 it prompted me to download the geforce.com driver and i did not think anything of it at the time, lesson learned. -
Hello all. Is there anything special at all to dual-screening mega 180?
I Installed everything, the CD. Then I powered it off, plugged my second screen in the secondary VGA plug.
While XP was booting, both screens showed - perfectly - the booting screens.
Then when windows was fully loaded, the secondary screen fried. It is NOT a screen failure, as when I plug the primary screen in the secondary VGA plug, it won't work either, though it won't fry. I can test that because the secondary screen will still show windows, though badly distorted so I just have to exchange their positions to test.
So is that a Mega 180 RMA? Or is it something I forgot to do? Does anyone know how to get my screen back? Symptoms are as follow:
the image is WAY too large (inches more than the screen left, and right, with H-size set to minimum). It seems the problem stems from the H frequency:
the correct screen shows H-50Hz V-60Hz the incorrect one shows H-40Hz V-60Hz
Any programs can set those values?
Anyways thanks and good day to you all!As an update, I tried switching the main display to the MBP. Nothing changed.
However, I changed the rotation to 90 degrees and everything is back to Normal! Aside from the fact that I'm looking a 24" screen in the vertical position. -
New window opens in main monitor when using dual screen
I am using dual screens and my "main screen" is on the left. Ever since Firefox updated to 32.0.1 on Monday I've been having this issue. Before the update, I would have my main Firefox window opened on the left and, when I click on a link to open a new window, it would open on the right screen. Now, it will only open on the left screen, where the other window is. If I drag the original window to the right monitor and open a link, the new window will open on the right monitor. But once I drag the original window back to the left, new links will open in the left again.
Before if I had this problem, I would simply drag the new window to the right monitor, then back to the left and close it. Then click the link again and it would open in the right. Kind of a work around I guess. But since the update, even this will not work. Any suggestions? Or is this a new function of the updated version? Is there a way for me to go back to the previous version? Any help is appreciated!Hi hollytotheg,
I understand that links opening in new windows are opening in the active screen, not on the right, second monitor.
This may be helpful: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/monitor-master/] the search recommends this.
However I would also recommend suggesting an enhancement in input about dual monitor new window restriction. -
Sorry if this was covered already...
If you use the DUAL SCREEN mode, updating a link in the PROPERTIES tab at the bottom of the page does nothing. You either have to manually copy and paste in the code or go back to DESIGNER mode.I have the same problem under Mac OS X Lion, however, my 2 displays have the same size (1680x1050).
It was working properly before with the same Mini-dislpay port cable and external screen, only the MBP was a 13" instead of the 15" (HD) I own now.
Any ideas ? Someone else having the same issue ?
Thanks -
Is it possible to get automatically displayed a learning
video (made with Adobe Captivate) on the the extended screen every
time you start the video file in a dual screen environment?
Actually the video has to be dragged manually from the primary
screen to the extended (secondary) screen. Thanks in advance for a
good solution of this problem.This is not really a Captivate problem. But the answer is,
the application will start in the Windows environment in which it
was last successfully shut down, provided that environment still
exists.
I suppose it might be possible to write a batch file that
somehow specifies the check for a dual setup and the startup
ordered to take place at a secific point within that setup ... then
start the application from the batch file. But I really wouldn't
have a clue how to do that. You might have better success asking
that question of a Microsoft Windows guru ... (?)
~regards
Larry
P.S. Welcome to the user group for Captivate ... I am glad
you posted the question, and though I don't see a solution within
Captivate, perhaps someone else has a better solution (?). -
I was just wondering if anyone has any copies of good wallpaper, arch linux based or otherwise, for dual screen setups (something like 2506x1024). I made a very very basic one ( http://www.equivalentsystems.net/arch.png ) to tie me over. But I am an econometrician not an artist and would really appreciate a better background.
