Tecra S2: Definition of external monitor like main display

Hi all

last week I got a new laptop Tecra S2 and I have the problem to my external monitor like main screen in dual display mode. The section in the window is grayed out.

Anyone know how can I enable this feature?

On my old laptop (Tecra S1 with ATI graphics card) there was no problem to move the main exit from the internal to the external display.

Sincerely,
Martin

Hi Martin

As much as I know it is not possible to set the external monitor as primary. The LCD cell is always set as primary. I use Tecra M1 (similar to S1) and this option is grayed out too.

In my Office I use it with docking station and external monitor. When Windows starts the first appears on the external display, but the log in window is still shown at laptop LCD.

Sorry, but it's like it was. Designed Toshiba display driver has been installed on your old Tecra S1?

  • External monitor like main screen for M200 with docking station

    Hi all

    I have a Tablet M200 with GeForce FX go 5200. I have a Toshiba docking station and an external LCD display. When it is docked, I would use the external LCD as main display and the LCD builtin as the secondary display. (I want the taskbar, icons and newly opened windows on the external screen when it is docked.)

    Unfortunately, I can't find the right combination of settings of this. If I put Windows to extend the desktop on the external screen, "use it as primary display" option is grayed out. I don't get the span horizontally or vertically options in the nView utility, just the Standard and the Clone (and this only if I do not extend to the office.)

    How can I get the external screen be the main while being the internal school?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Cannot set external monitor like main window on T500

    How can I configure my external monitor as the main in Vista window when it is connected to the docking station DVI port mini?
    "My problem is that the check box ' this is my main monitor" is always disabled after having extended my desktop to monitor 4.

    The external monitor is loaded as screen 4. (Screen 3 is the T500 and 1 & 2 is assigned to the internal Intel screen card that is not in use)

    Thank you

    Vista because of grief in this regard and we have never seen a good answer about why.

    The good news is the utility Thinkpad Presentation Director - fire just that upward and step through the wizard. It will allow you to set up your monitors as you wish and save it as a profile. In most of the situations that the configuration will be available when anchor you, but worst case are you just select the profile of the PD icon in the task bar (or the value of the checkbox to automatically apply whenever the laptop is connected).

    I want to emphasize however that we have to make these options - the great victory is the ability to put primary watching for whatever reason Microsoft has grayed out in regular checkups.

    Best,

    Kevin

    P.S. If you really don't want to see the configuration of four screens and that you will not use the switchable graphics in the BIOS you can set discrete graphics (only) display rather than switchable. You will still likely PD to define primary/Main.

    PPS you should also be able to do through the ATI Catalyst Control Center, but in some cases that makes you stop more than the PD Assistant.

  • How to get an external monitor like main screen...

    Hello...

    The monitor on my HP Pavilion dv9830us PC laptop has not worked for some time and I had to use an external CRT monitor for my screen. A few nights ago my operating system (Ubuntu Linux 10.04) failed to load and because I can not get flow to my external monitor until the video drivers on video Ubuntu loads, I am unable to run the repair of Ubuntu and the beginning of the start feature.

    Is it possible that I can get my laptop to use my external monitor at all times, even in the BIOS screen? Is there a setting in the BIOS for this?

    Thank you!

    Hi all...

    Nevermind, problem solved... Praise be to God!

    He made the screen on my laptop work long enough where I could press the needed button to get Ubuntu running and upward. This is literally the first time I saw him work in more than a year, no matter what I tried... seriously!

    Whatever your beliefs, (whose son is Jesus Christ) there is a God and he wonders!

  • Satellite A200-1AE: how to set external monitor like main screen on Win XP

    Model: A200-1AE
    OPERATING SYSTEM: XP SP2

    I want to use the external display in Windows XP. It would be necessary that the external display is the main thing and office expansion took place on the computer screen. The driver, downloaded from your site do not do... If this possibility is, in Windows Vista.

    How it is possible to solve my problem?

    Hello

    As far as I know that's not possible. In my case, this option is grayed out!

    But maybe it is possible on your laptop. In this case, you must Access the properties of the graphics card. Then go to the last tab called settings.

    There, you must mark the 2 screen and activate the option called use this device as the primary monitor.
    But if this option is not available you will not be able to settle this!

    Hi computeruser7,

    I have read about this problem on other similar topics when the AC/DC adapter is connected.

    So it seems to be a problem of the ground between the AC adapter and laptop.

    You can solve the problem when you buy an adapter AC/DC 3 pins and power cord. I assume that your current AC adapter is just a version 2pin so change the AC/DC adapter should work.

  • Problems with my slower... graphic AGA and external monitor does not display

    First of all, let me say that I am not computer savy.  I just bought an Alienware 17 June 1.  Got my AGA and installed a Geoforce GTX 980 inside graphics card.  First I tried as far as I know (which is not yet much about computers) to connect an external monitor to the AGM.  For some reason that the monitor does not display anything and my laptop States there is not all the other monitors it can detect.  Now, the other problem I have is that I run games using my AGA and when its connected I can really see my games download restless and slower.  I thought that the whole purpose of the AGM was pushed my graphics and do amazing things... not very frustrating.  Any suggestions on what I might hurt?

    Try the following:

    Disconnect the graph.

    Uninstall the video card drivers.

    Install the following driver (this version is not in the official Dell support website again, however, it has been tested by our engineers)

    Restart the system and connect the graphic amplifier and test it.

    Please let me know if this helps you solve the problem.

  • No luck with CRT/LCD button - external monitor does not display

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron 700 m laptop.  When I connect to the computer to my TV (a/k/a an external monitor), hold down the "Fn" key and press F8 (the "CRT/LCD" button), my laptop screen blinks and no picture on the external monitor.  One of my friends has a Dell XPS M1210 and - through the same steps - we were able to get the same establishment to work.  Maybe someone has any suggestions for what is the problem?  Would be - it simply a matter of obsolete or incorrect drivers?  Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions.

    P.S. to the difference of the XPS M1210, my Inspiron 700 m does not display again - when I press the key "CRT/LCD" - the box with three display options: integrated screen external monitor and both screens at the same time.  The screen just flashes to black.


  • Opening Subvi in the same monitor like main vi

    How to make my Subvi to open in the same screen the main vi is in?  I tried the execution window position options, but that seems to fix the Subvi to a particular monitor.  I want the user to be able to drag the main vi in any available monitor and open the Subvi this monitor.

    Thank you

    Learn a few methods of VI:

    Before Panel.Run - Time Pos.Get - returns a bunch of default stuff including watching the front panel is on.

    Before Position.Centered Panel.Run - Time - specifies where the VI will appear the next time it is run.

    In addition, defining the position of the window may move between monitors.

    This might get you where you want to go.

  • X 201 and an external monitor for dual display config.

    Dear all,

    I use a 201 X in conjunction with an external TFT display in extended desktop configuration. The X 201 screen is used as a main. My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.

    There is a problem that was so irritating and I was unable to find a solution. The problem is that when running in this double configuration monitor, the desktop icons move if I place the mouse pointer close to the edges of the screen. The move off the screen in some cases such as only a few of them are still visible. This will not occur when you use only the X 201 panel without a connected external display. I know that this is no longer a problem of Windows 7 but I was wondering if anyone else with this configuration has noticed this rather strange and irritating behavior.

    I've had the same problems for a few months now on my x200s.

    I have just finally resolved by disabling the option "Enable automatic scrolling" in the view tab in the advanced settings of the display screen.

    I don't know if it's the same as your option "animate controls and elements inside windows' well or if it is two different things.

  • Tecra M11-LaTeX runs slow on external monitor using Express Port Replicator

    Hi all

    I am having trouble with my Tecra M11 with an external monitor, through an Express Port Replicator II.

    It is very accurate, but I am running texlive 2010 on my laptop to write a thesis. Whenever I use my laptop screen feature is very good, and it works very fast, no lag when I compile my document. As soon as docking it into my docking station at work to use it on a big screen, whenever I use the same program, it slows down a lot, finally causing the crash program. Its frustrating to lose a lot of your thesis like this! When I connect the external monitor directly to the laptop, it works fine again.

    Something goes wrong in the docking station. Anyone know how I can fix this? Im a little confused and ideas. Maybe I pilot or something im unaware of. My docking station is maybe defective?

    Thank you

    Jake

    Port replicator port on which do you use? VGA or DVI?

    It won't be easy to provide the answer to your question. It is not possible to test all the software available with docking station and research solutions.
    I would say: bad luck.

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400-130 poor quality display on external monitor

    Hello

    If I connect an external monitor to the display quality VGA port is quite poor. It looks like a 'grainy twinkle"(sorry hard to describe). I have tried several different monitors and made all the adjustments that I can find. If I increase the contrast to max is not visible, but still the screen is too bright. The internal TFT is perfect.

    Have you tried to change the display settings on monitor itself (brightness)?

    I have connected to my office two different external screens (19 and 22) to U400, and the image is OK. I really don't understand what makes you so unhappy.
