Multi-monitor X201T with ban question

• Several monitors x201T with ban

  I'm looking for the simplest way to use 2 or 3 external monitors in mode 'Extend' with my x201T-0831 moored to the dock of 200 ban.  I don't need great resolution, just trying to keep organized with many projects using Outlook, Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. - several windows open at the same time.  Have VGA screens, but loans to buy more if necessary.  Would appreciate any help.  Found wires for other models of Lenovo referring to third-party products, but I can't say which is better for the x 201 for this type of need.

  Thanks for any help!

  Thank you, Danielle.

  I followed your links.  As I watch the T410s ban at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-76519&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempsel..., it seems that the connectors are slightly different between the ban and the one I have, the x 200.  On the T410 ban, there are two DVI ports and a VGA port.  On the x 200 ban, there is a VGA port at the back, next to a DisplayPort, and there is no DVI port.  The x 201 Tablet has a VGA port on the left side of the tablet itself, but I'll assume that is disabled when the Tablet is rooted in the x 200 docking ban.

  I'll start with the assumption that I need to get a second monitor connected to the docking ban and use the DisplayPort port to do.   Since I was extra VGA monitors on hand, I'll buy Lenovo DisplayPort to VGA (analog only) cable from monitor part number 5794393 http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70321.  I'll try to get two VGA monitors upward and running in the configuration "Extend".  I will present on the progress made in the coming weeks.  Thank you.

  Update and additional comments:

  It is now December 3, 2010, twelve days after that I started this answer.  Additional measures:

  1. I looked more closely at two monitors that I have, and have all both DVI and VGA ports.  I realized that most of the monitors, at least for the past five years, have this system double connector - I just used the VGA connector since it's what I do since the 1980s and I never had a reason to learn more about DVI.  I decided it was the right time to learn something new.

  2. I ordered the single-link DVI - D Monitor Cable DisplayPort / http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?...

  I found this on the main Web page of Lenovo USA by following the links store > Accessories > cables and connectors.  This is the fourth element displayed on the first page.  Cost of $27.13 including taxes and delivery United States.  Arrived today, so 12 days to fill orders.  The cable has Lenovo part number 45J7915.  Of interest, the date of manufacture for the part is '2010-11-27' and 11/29 China shipping date.  This looks like something that could probably also be purchased in both major electronic supply store.

  3. I followed the instructions at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-76519&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempsel..., kindly provided by Danielle.  I found that it worked better print 3 pages of instructions so that I have didn't disable images of instruction I changed monitors.

  4. I thought that instructions, intended to be the ThinkPad T410s, were very clear and I just had to adjust my thinking a bit because the X 200 ban has a different configuration for the connectors on the back.  On the X 200 ban, the connector remains blue VGA of the Middle when seen from behind.  There is only a single DisplayPort connector rather than two, and that is a black (not white) just to the left of the blue VGA port.

  5. After following the correct sequence listed in steps 1 through 4, I found that my monitor connected to the VGA port, designated as "Monitor 2", remained black.  I had a picture on the Thinkpad x201T (listed as "monitor 1") and the DVI monitor, listed as "monitor 3".  I was able to use both monitors in extend mode, so that I could drag the arrow of the mouse smoothly through to the next screen.

  6 I then to the "Troubleshooting" of this same step "Setup multiple views for ThinkPad T410s", more precisely in the line:

  "If you followed steps 1 through 4 and one or more of your screens does not connect, then you must change the display screen resolution."

  By clicking right on the display screen, I was introduced to the great tool for the configuration of multiple screens.

  I had several stumbling blocks to work through, and my experience could be useful to other readers:

  (a) I confirmed what others have said I am only able to watch two monitors, not three, with this configuration.

  (b) Resolution display is a misleading title of the window that appears when you have more than one monitor connected.  A more accurate title would be "set up multiple monitors - select duplicate or extend Mode, decide who monitors, designate which monitor is the primary monitor is connected and disconnected, and set the resolution for each monitor.

  (c) the configuration that I opened the screen resolution window showed that 1 monitor, the ThinkPad LED display, the VGA monitor as Monitor 2 and DVI Monitor 3 monitor.  The physical layout on my desk, from left to right, was 2-3-1.  The DVI monitor features a 22 "display, VGA has 19" and I wanted the larger screen directly in front of my external keyboard and mouse.   Resolution of the pictorial display screen showed the monitors installed (from left to right) 3-2-1, 3 and 1 blue and (active), and 2 gray (inactive).  I got confused trying to drag the mouse from one screen to the other to the first mouse seems to hit the left wall of the ThinkPad screen and and do move to the left on my screen more grand, who showed a great wallpaper.  I finally realized that if I moved the arrow to the right wall of the ThinkPad, he moved smoothly on the big screen.  The mouse arrow and screens are behaving as the pictorial resolution screen display showed the monitors built (from left to right) 3-2-1, not that I had actually prepared physically on the my table.  I was fooling around with by dragging images autour in display screen resolution pictorial until this photo with the real physical layout.

  (d) I had to then select the left (VGA) monitor as the primary monitor.  I've learned to follow the caveat to push "Apply" with each individual before moving on to the next step.

  (e) once I had unchecked the main monitor, the screen of ThinkPad, I was free to designate the ThinkPad screen as 'disconnect this Display.

  (f) once the ThinkPad screen was off, I was free to choose monitors 2 and 3 as active monitors in extended display Mode and move the mouse easily throughout the whole of the left edge of the screen 2 (my monitor of the left hand) to the right edge of the monitor 3 (my Center and the larger screen).  1, the ThinkPad screen monitor, remained gray.

  (g) a minor bug, when I clicked on the 'Apply' button for each of these changes, nothing happened.  I have to click it a second time to apply to commit.  (I use Windows 7 x 64, updated weekly)

  (h) another minor obstacle was that I had to get the best resolution for a monitor before I designated as primary monitor.  I got stuck a couple of times with a resolution too large, unable to see all of the icons or the taskbar in Windows 7.

  (I) now that I'm all together to the top with several monitors, my first experience, I realize that a more fluid experience would be if all monitors were of the same size of the screen, closely aligned together at the same height.  With my current setup, a monitor is 3 "higher than next to him, and the resolution is different between the two screens. MTY eyes must make two adjustments that I scan back between two screens.

  Thanks to James for his excellent help!  It also has the same information published on the website of T4190s: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/How-do-I-setup-multiple-display-for-the-Thi...

• See 4.5 true multi-monitor with RDP7?

  I read this in the guide of the administrator on the page 17: ' Microsoft RDP provides the following features: you can use more than one monitor in span mode '

  and this page 21:

  In a real session of multiple monitors, monitors can have sizes and different resolutions, and a monitor can be

  has rotated. If you enlarge within an application window, the window expands to the full-screen only the monitor

  that contains it.

  This feature has the following limitations:

  n the maximum number of monitors that lets you view a desktop is 10 If you are using the RDP Protocol

  view the Protocol and 4 If you are using PCoIP.

  n If you are using the Microsoft RDP display protocol, you must have Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)

  version 6.0 or later installed in the desktop view.

  I'm not completely sure if I read this right, but it seems that true multimonitor is NOT available with RDP. Even if Windows 7 and the last DRC have no problem with that at all. Can someone confirm (or reject if all goes well) that this is the case. I really prefer to use RDP, but I need the true multi-monitor.

  Kind regards

  You need on the client, you connect from version 7.  Version 7 comes with Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2.  You can download version 7 for XP and Vista.

  I wish version Mac was up to 7 and I wish THAT WYSE would improve their RDP to 7.

• Multi-monitor 7 VMWare Fusion is improved from 6?

  Hello VMWare,

  Currently if you google "VMware Fusion 7 multi-monitor Support" this thread is the best result:

  https://communities.VMware.com/thread/458878?start=0 & tstart = 0

  In this thread, the top answer is a VMWare employee is studying ways to improve multi-monitor support VMWare Fusion. It's been a year, and you have now unlocked a new major version, to what you ask me to pay to upgrade.  I guess that these issues have been addressed, but I see no reference to improvements in this regard on the VMWare Fusion 7 product pages.

  Can you please address the following two questions, which are massive trouble when using Fusion 6 (and I want to emphasize, nor issue seems to affect your competing product Parallels):

  1. If you have more than two monitors (three for example), can you use Fusion 7 full screen but use only 2 screens instead of the 3? In fusion 6, you can use one or ALL, I really hope that this behavior is changed.
  2. When you use a display fullscreen VM on several monitors with the new behavior of multiscreen fullscreen introduced in Mavericks, can you change the space of one of your monitors away from the virtual machine and then on another monitor always displays the virtual machine, interact with the virtual machine without the spaces on your other monitors to return to space the VM?

  If you can confirm that the issues have been addressed, I fortunately modernize today.  If not, you clearly that this support is a reason some not a priority for VMWare and I go to Parallels, after buying the latest 3 versions of VMWare and be a happy customer otherwise.

  Thank you for your answer!

  They do not react because the answer is that they did not have * nothing * to improve their software in this regard.

  You better buy Parallels, making these two things well.  Even if the product windows VMWare offers this kind of behavior of multi-monitor, they are apparently not interested in doing the same thing on their OS X product.  I'm not interested in waiting around for them to recognize it as a priority, so I switched to Parallels.

• Multi-monitor (PCoIP) and Windows 7

  Greetings,

  We try to test 2 months see 4 but one of the problems is that when trying to connect to a virtual from Windows 7 computer in mode multiscreen we get just black 2 screens and after a few seconds that it disconnects and View Client closes.

  Anyone who manages to get multi-screen working for Windows 7 clients? I tried to increase the memory to 128 MB vram.

  Multimonitor works without any problem when you connect to a Windows XP client.

  Thanks in advance,

  Bram

  I had exactly the same problem and it is resolved.  You can read the complete demo that I did here:

  http://communities.VMware.com/blogs/gunnarb/2010/01/26/PCoIP-review

  However, the quick answer is: uninstall vmware tools, uninstall agent from view of the guest operating system.  Reinstall the tools then agent.  See if you can connect to the base image (we're not done linked clones).  Also, everything I care at this point is that you get a single monitor to work.

  Once you can connect to Windows 7 with a single monitor, go into Device Manager to uninstall your graphics driver and replace this drive with the driver found SVGA C:\program files\common files\vmware\drivers do not use the pilot of MCDA.  With the SVGA driver in place, you will get multi-monitor support.  Also it will fix the annoying UAC question and issues of screen saver.

  A problem with this solution is that it is not supported and has experienced problems with BSOD, but you get a multi-monitor VM work.  Once you have all that in place, go ahead and do your linked clone stuff.

• Blue square with a question mark instead of a picture

  I'm on Messages to use with your Mac - Apple Support.

  Instead of pictures (or), I get a blue square with a question mark in it.

  This does not happen with all Web sites, but I wonder why it's happening with an Apple site, and how I can see the photos.

  It sounds like a broken image link.

  Post a screenshot if you can, so that we can confirm. The page seems OK after a glance. Command + shift + 4 then do slide on the affected area, add the image to the desktop to this site via the camera icon.

  If you have browser extensions, disable them and repeat the test. Also try a different web browser if possible to see if it is the scale of the system or only Safari. Is - this Safari you use?

• I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that?  Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

  I have an old Mac Mini with a DVI Port that came with a VGA DVI-adapter.  Tonight, my monitor went down.  Brand new monitor works with that? Any recommendations? Can I use an adapter?  If yes should which adapter I?

  You can use any DVI monitor DVI port directly or have any VGA monitor with the power that you adapter. A HDMI monitor might work with an adapter DVI to HDMI in a pinch, but HDMI tends to be more fickle.

• HP L1906 monitor: HP_L1906 with Windows 10 display does not work

  Under Win7 Pro, I used two monitors, a DELL and HP L1906 (my favorite).  After the Win10 upgrade, the DELL works just fine.  The HP is not displayed.

  In the settings the LP is detected, but under the name generic and none of the parameters of work, nor can they be saved.  I tried swapping the connections, thinking maybe Valentine's video, but always ended up with the monitor DELL works, not HP.

  How can I make my HP L1906 monitor works with Windows 10?

  Hello:

  See if the vista driver works...

  I compressed upwards and tied the monitor driver below.

  Download and unzip the drivers in their folder.  Don't do anything with the files in the folder.

  Go to the Device Manager, expand the category of device monitors.

  Click the generic monitor p & p.   Click the driver tab.  Click on set to update driver.

  Select her browse my computer for driver software option and navigate to the driver folder, that you unzipped.

  Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the pilot goes like this.

  Then restart.

• Is it possible to use a Linksys by Cisco Wireless - G Internet home monitoring camera with Labview

  I was wondering if it is possible to use a "Linksys by Cisco Wireless - G Internet home monitoring Camera" with Labview

  http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?quicklinx=53PX&SearchType=1&searchTerms=network+cameras&PageMod...

  I wan't to be able to get the raw data from the camera and analyze it.

  I found a simple soloution to this problem,

  Is possible to use a web browsers invoke node basically give a screenshot of the web page (get image)

  It can then be loaded into a display of the image and will show exactly what the web browser is showing and can also be analised by unflattening the pixmap.

  Maybe it's not the most effective method, but he turns my rig fast enough and does the job

  It may also be a setting value of the display of the photo to "smooth updates" that gets rid flashes white as the changes to the image, if anyone else has this problem.
