Introduction
This is a tool to accompany the unoffical G400 driver. If you find any problems please send me a bug report (to chris@haggan1.freeserve.co.uk). It is a quick hack to replace the screen prefs and enable use of dual head modes. I am sure you can figure out how to use it, so won't insult your intelligence. However if you have problems, please feel free to e-mail me.
Installation - Source version
- unzip DualHeadSetup_0.03a.zip
- cd DualHeadSetup_0.03a
- make
- DualHeadSetup
Usage - Version 0.03a include helpful on-screen graphics to aid understanding
This program compements ScreenPrefs and adds the ability to do several things on graphics cards that support dualhead modes.
- 'Dual head' this uses both heads to give a larger overall viewport of the current screen (Be does not as yet support having two workspaces on seperate screens).
- 'Clone head' allows you to have the same screen image on both monitors.... useful for giving presentations where you want to control the screen from a small monitor and have it displayed on you 25 meter flat screen plasma uber screen.
- 'Switch head' I don't get this one, it simply allows you to switch which monitor is displaying which head. Play with this, tell me what you think would be a better description.
- 'Single head' good ol' single headed loverlyness.... for those times when you can't be bothered with this dualhead mumbojumbo.
