Multiple Monitors
« on: May 12, 2007, 09:35:48 PM »
TopoFusion version 3.07
I'm using a NVidia chipset, GeForce 6600.
This is how my tracks appear on my main monitor (digital)



This is what happens when I drag off to the left, on my Analog monitor (my card has 2 connections)



Any reason it doesn't work on a second monitor?

Here's a weird thing--I've got the preview on the left, flicker photo on the right (same monitor--it's an HP f2105 widescreen) and it's lighter looking in your forum than the original in Flickr.
Here's the original if you want to see how dark it is.

Wow, that's strange.

It works on my Nvidia GeForce 5700 with multiple monitors (one digital, one analog, just like yours), no matter how I position the TF window -- all on one, spanning, etc.

I assume your drivers are up to date?  If not, go grab the latest from nvidia.com.

It's always possible that it's a TF bug, but we really don't have much to do with multiple monitor support -- applications don't do anything special, or deal with it at all -- it's handled by the video drivers / card.  

What's the resolution on the analog monitor?  There have been some issues when the TF window is REALLY wide -- on some systems.  However, I am pretty sure moving to "PRO" took care of these issues for people.

Yes, latest drivers.
Monitor 1 (on right): 1680x1050 digital
Monitor 2 (on left): 1024x1280 analog, rotated to long edge is vertical (like a regular piece of paper).
