Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hello

Just upgraded to the latest firmware so I could finally use the max res on my 22 inch monitors. But the problem now is that when I run a game that don't support TH2GO then its on my left monitor.

And I want it how it was before in the middle. And yeah I got the latest Powerdesk as they wanted me to have as well.

Hello ....

With the latest firmware update for the TripleHead2Go Digital you can set your single screen gaming to any of your 3 monitors ...
This should work even if you don't have widescreens. ... but obviously you wouldn't use widescreen resolutions as in this example below... :lol:
Get the firmware HERE

Here is how ...

First set it up with a single screen resolution ...
It defaults to the left screen ...
Now hit ... "swap displays" until it is on the center screen.



Once the single screen resolution is on the center screen you can switch back to a TripleHead resolution but games running a single head resolution should now display on the center screen ... :D


EDIT ... added screenshot.

Thanks for that :) Everything worked exactly as you wrote. Man I so love this new firmware and powerdesk :)

Much obliged to you both for the question posed and the solution, respectively. I've just installed my TH2GO this afternoon over a lunch break and hadn't even begun to try and figure this one out yet. Thanks!

Hey M8!

Great Tip!
Just a small correction, on the Hot Keys, you will actually define a key for "Restore Saved Display Setup", not Swap Display.

Cheers,

Me

Fixed ... thanks ... 8)

Hi, I have made that have you wrote, but if i swap the screens the only monitor that work is the left monitor !! (and not the middle/center monitor ghrrrrrr...)

My last message:
Hey man, I have installed the last update firmware/driver with the new resolutions, but now I can't play COD4 and others games like AArmy in the MIDDLE MONITOR!!!!
Is working with the only LEFT monitor (i have 3 monitors: left and righ side are 22" and the middle monitor is an 24").
How can I resolve this BIG problem (I suppose not only for me)?
I want to play with the 24" center monitor (if possible)..
Help me please!!
Thanks in advance!

P.S.: some months ago on the web there was a fix (a firmware... made by Matrox) for resolve this problem but I can't find it again!!!

Hmmmm ... very odd ...

Just to get things a bit clearer for me ...
You set your desktop to 1680x1050 using display properties ...
This shows on your left screen ... ? ... correct ?

When you do this bit ...

Use the “Swap Displaysâ€

Sorry but... remain only the left monitor... and the others are black... I don't know how to made... (sorry for my bad english)...
have you another idea?
can you explain me with pictures (sorry but I'm a baby and because I don't understand very well english language...)...
thanks in advance
see you

It would be a lot of work to show you every step in pictures ...

Set your res to 1680x1050 then this button ... once ...

Ok... first step was right!
thankyou

So it worked ?
You now have your single screen on the centre screen ?

NO...
When I chose res. 1680x1050 they change (automaticly) in 5040x1050... and if swap the monitor (once...) I see always the LEFT monitor and the others CENTER and RIGHT are black...
ideas?
thanks

You lost me ...

Lets do this step by step ...
Can you get 1680x1050 on the left monitor with the other two monitors black ?

no... why the "default" resolution (I have 3 monitor 22"-24"-22") but I see one big monitor on the propretis of the desktop.. with a big resolution.. ) that I can see is 5040x1050...
One question: the GXM must to be activated or not? (my is activated) during that operation?
see you

In "Display Properties" ... can you choose 1680x1050 by moving the slider ?

I suggest one of use use Crossloop to give this guy a hand.

Paddy, thanks again for posting this. I've got it working now that I have room to plug in my two extra 20"-ers.

Is on able to play a game on the center screen and still use one or both side monitors? In my case, trying to run Call of Duty 4 on the center and run a web browser, voice chat, etc. on the side.

Hi Stecchino ...
Unfortunately that isn't possible ... as you have no doubt found they go black when you are in-game ... :(

Ok, just checking. I understand why, I suppose, since the TH2GO is basically telling the computer all 3 screens are in fact ONE screen. I suppose the work around would be, for folks, wanting to game on on screen and use the others as well:

Plug in a 4th monitor into the 2nd DVI port of their video card (less desirable)

-OR-

Figure out how to launch the game in a window (haven't yet tried this with Call of Duty 4). If it's launched in a window, naturally, it can simply be dragged to the middle and not disturb the other 3,528,000 pixels. (more practical)
