Virtual Monitor

Hi, im looking at the posiblities of building a sort of virtual "monitor" into a full screen application. Idealy, this virtual monior would act as a second display displaying on one window. For example, while the aplication is running in full screen, this virtual monitor would be able to view and interact with a secondary display. The virtual monitor would stream live images of the imaginary second display into the application. Then by scrolling over or using a program that would allow 2 mouses to act at once, the user could navigate this second display to complete any number of functions. Their interactions would then bee continiously updated back to the virtual monitor.
My first question is if it is even possible for OSX to support a display that isnt connected. I know that it is able to have a desktop much bigger than what you actually so you can drag items half off the screen but what about a whole other non existant screen.
Next, would it be possible to have the sort of updates i refer to where the virtual screen sould run in the area of 30FPS.
Finally, is there already a product/code like this out there that I would be able to use. This would really save me alot of time/script writing.

I'd like to do something similar so would be interested if you've found a way of doing this?

  • How do I re-establish a single virtual monitor across two 30" screens?

    How do I re-establish a single virtual monitor across two 30" screens?
    The fact that the screens are now separate with two menu bars, and the inability for images to appear across both of them is a great inconvenience to me. I have used this system since the dual monitors first became available and do not want to loose.
    While rearranging my desk top of current files, I seem to have jumping folders that flt to random places
    Thank for bailing me out on this!

    I've been looking for the same answer .. I stopped by local Apple store - Genius - he don't know
    3 monitors here .. and agree - it's an extreme irritant that when a window is across two monitors part of it disappears.
    Have Adobe Bridge catalog listing (and Filter, Collection, Keyword, Dates) on one monitor and main viewing window part on center monitor - no more.
    Supper long spread sheet across all three monitors - no more.
    Multiple Menu bars are irritating to use.

  • Virtual Monitor for VNC Client/Remote (Increase Avail. Screen Size)

    Now:
    I have multiple Macs in my home. From time to time, I use a desktop Mac with a larger monitor to "Screenshare" work off of another Mac's (laptop) HDD. (It's the primary base of my files.)
    Screen Size and Resolution:
    Laptop 13" - 1280x800
    Desktop 19" - 1680x1050
    Goal:
    I would like to have a "Virutal Monitor" on the 13" Laptop so that I can take advantage of the increased screen real estate on the Desktop's 19" Display. When I have a 2nd Display connected to the 13" MacBook Pro, it has the benefit of the larger display accessible.
    Questions:
    Is there a way to easily fake the MacBook Pro into having a virtual monitor? Available to all of OS X including Spaces/Expose/Screen Sharing?
    So I could use Settings to drag the primary system bar over to the virtual monitor, for when I am working on the remote Mac?
    -OR- Should I ask how to SSH into my machine and use its resources without the screen sending taking up bandwidth? Does Apple Remote Desktop do something like this?
    Your help and tips are appreciated!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't get correct resolution for second monitor

    I am trying to use two monitors with a Vostro 1400 (Intel X3100 video card), the problem is I can't set the external monitor to 1280x1024. Gnome's screen resolution program only let me choose from 640x480 to 1360x768. Besides the resolution of the second monitor, everything else seems to be working fine. Some relevant info:

    Yes, I tried xrandr:

    At first this didn't work at all, so I tried to mess with screen resolution applet and got output on the second monitor, but not at the desired resolution.
    I tried running these commands again and got output on the second monitor, but at the wrong resolution. The strange part is that the resolution I want is listed by xrandr:

  • Side-by-side 2 monitor configuration changing to top-to-bottom

    Hello all, I am at work and I am running an HP PC on Windows 7 with
    2 monitors that are sitting side-by-side
    physically.
    The models are:
    NEC EA243WM, and
    HP ZR2440w
    Both monitors connect to the same video card inside the HP PC using DisplayPort cables.
    Both are set to run at maximum Resolution of 1920x1200 (recommended), and 
    Orientation is set to Landscape, with
    Multiple Displays = Extend these displays.
    So I get everything working in a manner that I need, which is side-by-side and there is a little picture above all of these settings showing the
    virtual monitor arrangement as Monitor2 (on the left) and Monitor1 (on the right) it shows in a little picture as side by side.  This setup of physical arrangement of the monitors in a side-by-side configuration works very well with the
    virtual arrangement of the monitors in a side-by-side configuration for approximately 1-2 weeks.
    Then on any given number of days later, the virtual monitor arrangementswitches  to top-to-bottom, with monitor #2 on top and monitor #1 on the bottom.  I discover this every
    week by accident because I cannot move a small window from right screen to left, or left screen to right.
    It has been going on for about 2 months now.  I have already swapped the DisplayPort cables on the PC end around, I have not yet tested changing both cables to
    hopefully known tested good cables; but, come on, do I need to do that?
    I believe this problem is truly software based.  Has anyone else observed this behavior?  Could the video cables be causing this intermittent side-by-side to top-to-bottom changeup?
    Please help,
    Warron

    Hi,
    You can post in the following link to verify your account

    Since this is a brand new PC, then I suppose the video card inside is different from the previous one, or there's a compatibility issue, have you checked this issue with the manufacture, since they're more familiar with the specific product?

  • Multi Monitor messes up laptop screen?

    I have a 15" Retina MB Pro, got it when they first came out.  Had the display replaced with the Samsung after the ghosting issue.  But this happened randomly before that, and now it's every single time.
    I have a 24" 1920x1080 external monitor I connect to via HDMI.  I also have, on my laptop screen, some icons on the left edge, top edge, and right edge, so I can hit a few things here and there without having to minimize whatever I'm working on at the time if I need to do something else.  These are mostly just some folders and text icons, not apps.
    But what happens is that when I plug in the external monitor, the icon positions change.  And it's not consistent.  Sometimes they change so it's like the external monitor is just part of a virtual monitor, and my top row on the laptop moves to the middle of the laptop and extends across the middle of the external display.  Sometimes when I plug in the external monitor, my "actual" desktop shrinks up to a small spot on the top left, like some crunched version of my actual desktop.  Other times that happens, as well as getting a small silver plane shape from what would be the "dock" on that tiny screen.  Now, regardless of what happens, my entire screen on the laptop is still usable, resolution isn't changing, and the entire desktop on the 1920x1080 external monitor is usable - it's just the desktop that gets totally screwed up as far as the icons go.  If I unplug the monitor, they revert back to "normal" on the laptop display.
    It used to just happen once in a while.  Then it started happening more often, and now it's to the point where I may have to unplug and replug the HDMI 70 or 80 times to try to get the desktop to not screw up like this.  At this rate I'll wear out the HDMI port in a month or so.
    Any suggestions?  One of my zillion google searches for this turned up someone who specified a plist file to delete, which I did, but that didn't solve the issue...
    If it were at least CONSISTENT on way or another (screwed up across both screens, or always giving me that mini fraction of my latpop desktop on the top left of the retina display) it wouldn't be as bad as this, espeically since sometimes it *DOES* work as expected - I plug my external monitor in, and there's the second desktop waiting for me to drag stuff to it.
    No, it's not set to mirror.
    Thanks for any ideas, this is driving me absolutely nuts since I waste so much time on it every day.  I'm about ready to nuke the laptop and rebuild everything from scratch but that's such a pain, and would just make me think of my windows days when I used to do that far more often than I do now...
    MBP is current (10.8.3) wiht all updates, 8GB RAM and quad i7 processer model.

    sorry did not completely read your post hehe
    try to check the monitors maximum capabilities, apple can output 1920 by 1200
    also check for the wide settings as well if the monitor is a wide one.
    also, there are some issues with regards to windows running on mac missing drivers is most likely your problem see link of intel http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-022544.htm#native_resolution
    mac on the other hand supports the full 1920x1200 output since its their product

  • Resolution Xtra and secondary monitor

    Hi
    I'm using Resolution xtra to change the resolution on my
    monitor
    My PC with windows XP has 2 monitors
    And when I change resolution for primary monitor, using
    function
    cSuccess =
    gResXtra.set_resolution(cResWidth,cResheight,cResMode,gResXtra.get_primary_display())
    then resolution on secondary monitor is also changed. I'm not
    sure but it
    can be that resolution on secondary monitor changes to some
    other dimentions
    as on primary monitors
    Any suggestions?
    Any help will be appreciated
    game_dev

    Depends ALOT...
    There are graphic cards where the resolution set in the first
    monitor must be equal to the second, and so the driver itself will
    adjust the second one when the primary one is changed.
    On windows can you set-up different resolutions? Or are the
    resolutions linked up? [one way to link them is to have a "wide"
    virtual monitor that some other drives allows to configure]

  • 27" iMac doesn't have correct resolution for LG monitor

    Hi guys,
    Hoping to find some answers here - I called Apple Care but they weren't very helpful and told me to call LG..but I really doubt the issue has anything to do with LG.
    I have a 22" LG monitor that I used as a second monitor for my 24" imac. It worked great, no problems. I recently got a 27" imac and the display options don't give me the correct resolution for the second monitor (needs 1900x1080). So I can only use it at a totally blown up, out of proportion res. If I try to set it at any of the higher resolution options the monitor goes black and says "out of range".
    To me, this is a problem with the iMac, not the monitor, as it doesn't seem to support the proper resolution. Am I screwed and just can't use this monitor with the new iMac?

    Yes, I tried xrandr:

    $ xrandr --output VGA --mode 1280x1024
    $ xrandr --output VGA --right-of LVDS
    At first this didn't work at all, so I tried to mess with screen resolution applet and got output on the second monitor, but not at the desired resolution.
    I tried running these commands again and got output on the second monitor, but at the wrong resolution. The strange part is that the resolution I want is listed by xrandr:
    $ xrandr -q

  • Sharing Files Amongst Two Computers With DIFFERENT Versions Of Windows (XP & Vista)

    I just bought a WRT54G4 Wireless-G broadbad router & am a n00bie to this whole networking thng.  As things stand now, I have got everything whereas both my desktop PC (Windows XP Home Edition) & my wireless laptop PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) are online (Both local & Internet) HOWEVER I cannot seem to get things whereas my desktop PC shares files which can then be viewed & otherwise accessed by the laptop.
    Here's what I'm trying to do....
    * Have BOTH computers access the Internet via private network (This I have already managed to do)
    * Have the desktop share files which can be accessed (Wirelessly or not) by my laptop
    Essentially, I want to be able to make use of BOTH HDs as needed.
    My desktop is an old AMD Duron 1 Ghz. computer with 512MB of RAM & can handle SOME small tasks however the big gun is my laptop (A 1.86 Ghz. Intel Pentium with 3 GB of RAM). Because of it's speed & memory, I'd like to have the laptop handle the larger & more intensive tasks.
    Although my laptop has a smaller HD compared my desktop (A 136 GB HD in the desktop (Out of 200 GB) compared to a 141 GB (I'm guessing this HD is around that size but since it came pre-installed & I'm currently leasing-to-own, I don't know), I'd like to be able to make use of BOTH HDs if at all possible.  All I need is for the two computers to see the two HDs & all the files on it.
    I have tried the setting up of file sharing as instructed elsewhere on the Linksys site, but lost it when I restarted both of my computers since that's what the page told me to do (I followed the Windows XP as the desktop has all the files I want to be shared & Windows XP is the OS of the desktop).  Should I have not done this?
    Also, my ultimate goal is to GET RID of the big bulky monitor which I have plugged into the back end of my desktop PC & just simply use the laptop instead since it doesn't take up so much room on the desk.  Is there a software-based "Virtual Monitor" or monitor emulator of some kind which I can download (FREE please ) that will allow me to see the desktops of all the computers on my network just as if I
    had REAL monitors?  If so, where might I find one? 
    In short, whle I have accomplished a great deal in these last few days since I bought the router & linked the two computers together, as you can see, I still need some help & I've got some learning to do.
    Any help I can get wouldbe MOST appreciated.
    Cheers

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    File & Printer Sharing IS enabled on the desktop (Which has all the files I wish to share) HOWEVER.....
    Ricewind wrote:
    Make sure File and Printer Sharing is Enabled...
    Also make sure both the computer's are in the same workgroup...
    The default workgroup name in Windows Vista has been changed to WORKGROUP. In WindowsXP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...
    Also go into the computer software firewall on each computer, and set it to "trust" the other computers on your network.
    If your firewall or PC security program keeps a list of trusted applications (also known as a "trusted zone"), then make sure that your router is in the trusted zone on your firewall...
    As indicated before, both computers have DIFFERENT operating systems.  The laptop has Windows Vista HP installed while the desktop has Windows XP HE installed.  As such, are you suggesting that I stick with the default workgroup names just to keep things simple?
    As for the firewall & other security software, I have Windows Defender plus SpyBot (Desktop only), ThreatFire & AdAware (The latter I rarely use since ThreatFire fills this need rather nicely).  Would I have to go into Defender on both computers & tell it to trust the other computer?  Network Magic already does this with both computers (Yes, I have Network Magic installed on both computers).

  • Why do I have the gray linen sign in screen?

    Please help:  Using mid-2011 Imac, upgrading to Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion (12F37), I have had THREE different sign-in screens:  first Gray Flannel, then Light Blue and now Gray Linen.  I do not know what caused these changes; Apple Care's tech advised:  "Don't worry, be happy."
    I'd be less worried and more happy if somebody could tell me more about this.  Many thanks.

    I have file vault 2 enabled.  I do not have multiple monitors and never have had.  There are no other users except myself. 
    The Light Blue log in screen is for users who are part of a managed network...does not apply to me (so far as I know...unless somebody adopted me in a hostile takeover am I totally unaware of -- aka "via hacking") either.
    Therefore, I am multiply stumped.
    I'd imagine Grey Linen is a bit of a step up from Light Blue; however maybe not in the case that a connection to some kind of "virtual" monitor might exist?

  • TV as extended desktop screen via DLNA?

    Wirelessly as a quick, convenient extra screen with laptop from time to time.
    Is there any solution ready to do this?
    I know I can already send my mbp's desktop to tv with vlc, but this is like "mirroring".
    What I'd like to do is, that I could define a "virtual monitor" with resolution of 1920x1080 and send that to tv with vlc or any other app that would act as dlna server sending "live" picture of that virtual screen.

    "any way"
    Applications such as ScreenRecycler, http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html, can do it.

  • MOTION 4 - I can't locate correct drop zones for template

    I'm working in MOTION 4 and a template I purchased online.
    I'm not deeply experienced with MOTION (one of the reasons I prefer
    templates), but I have used built-in MOTION templates and those from 3rd parites
    and other sources on many prior occassions.  I'm familiar with dragging
    the elements you want to customice into the drop zones.
    The problem I'm having is with a Calendar template. I've been
    playing for hours now trying to get
    the video or image into the drop zone.  For instance this template is
    made of of a bottom part
    that shows a January calendar, and the top of the calendar is the drop
    zone where you drop in
    the picture you want to customize to represent January.  And there is a
    counterpart for all 12 months and it flips through all 12 months.
    No matter how hard I try, I can't drag my images into the right area of
    MOTION Canvas or layers area to get it into the right
    drop zone corresponding to the month I'm shooting for.
    This seems straight forward, but the template is confusing.  I've tried
    trial and error for hours now, but they're not
    ending up where I need.
    Is there someway to see ONLY the drop zones in MOTION?  I keep replacing things
    I don't intend. 
    Any quick assistance would be appreciated.  I've contacted the 3rd party I purchased the template
    from but haven't heard back yet and on deadline.  Help!

  • AWT, linux and xserver

    hello
    i have a servlet which manipulate gif images
    it works on my local machine (WinXP)
    but when i try to run it on a linux server mandrake (with apache)
    it fails.
    knowing that in the first execution i have the following error
    "Can`t connect to X11 window server using `:0.0` as the value of the DISPLAY variable."
    And after i always still have the following error:
    "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: sun/awt/motif/MToolkit
    at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.processRequest(JServConnection.java:
    320)
    at org.apache.jserv.JServConnection.run(JServConnection.java:188)
    at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:475)"
    i think that this problem occurs in my servlet when executing this instruction:
    Image awtImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage (...)
    the Xserver is already activated on my linux server
    the enviroment variable DISPLAY has the value:
    DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
    (notice i try DISPLAY=:0.0 and DISPLAY=131.107.0.40:0.0 and DISPLAY=:0
    but i have also exactly the same errors)
    i had execute "xhost +localhost" to allow my machine(which is the linux server)
    to access the Xserver
    knowing that i run my servlet on the same machine
    do you have any idea?
    thanks

    Does your linux server have a monitor attached to it? I have run into numerous problems with Solaris machines running "off the shelf" graphics software (JClass ServerChart, NetBeans NetCharts, etc) where headless machines (i.e. no monitor) will not render the graphics. What you need is the xvfb application (X Virtual Frame Buffer). (A nice beefy 80MB download....) I apologize, I don't have the URL on where you can get it, try google. Essentially what happens is there is no where for the machine to push windows for rendering, even if you have an XServer running. xvfb acts as a virtual monitor (frame buffer). What you are experiencing sounds very similar. If you do have a monitor attached to it, completely disregard this and disavow all knowledge of my existence.... :-)
