Dual Monitor Setup
|
||||||
|
==================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first step in getting OpenLP working on your system is to setup your
|
||||||
|
computer properly for dual monitors. This is not very difficult, but the steps
|
||||||
|
do vary depending on operating system.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most modern computers do have the ability for dual monitors. To be certain
|
||||||
|
check your computer's documentation. A typical desktop computer capable of dual
|
||||||
|
monitors will have two of, or a combination of the two connectors below.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**VGA**

**DVI**

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A laptop computer setup only varies slightly, generally you will need only one
|
||||||
|
of outputs pictured above since your laptops screen serves as one of the
|
||||||
|
monitors. Sometimes with older laptops a key stroke generally involving the FN
|
||||||
|
key and another key is required to enable the second monitor on laptops.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some computers also incorporate the use of S-Video or HDMI connections.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A typical OpenLP set up consist of your normal single monitor setup, with your
|
||||||
|
projector setup as the second monitor. With the option of extending your
|
||||||
|
desktop across the second monitor, or your operating system's equivalent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Microsoft Windows
|
||||||
|
-----------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Dual monitor setup is similar among all the currently supported Windows
|
||||||
|
releases (XP, Vista, Windows 7), but does vary slightly from one release to the
|
||||||
|
next.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows 7
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows 7 has using a projector in mind. Simply connect your projector and
|
||||||
|
press the **Windows key and tap P**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The more traditional way is also fairly straight forward. Go to the control
|
||||||
|
panel and click on display. This will open up the Display options. You can
|
||||||
|
also bypass this step by right click on a blank area on your desktop and
|
||||||
|
selecting **resolution**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then click on the Screen Resolution from the left pane.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: /pics/winsevenresolution.png
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then enable your projector and ensure your desktop is extended.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows Vista
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From the control panel click on personalize, or right click a blank place on
|
||||||
|
the desktop and click personalization.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: /pics/vistapersonalize.png
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From the **Personalization** window click on Display Settings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: /pics/vistadisplaysettings.png
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then enable the montior that represents your projector an make sure your
|
||||||
|
you have checked Extend the desktop.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows XP
|
||||||
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From the control panel select Display, or right click on a blank area of the
|
||||||
|
desktop and select properties. From the properties window click on the settings
|
||||||
|
tab.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: /pics/xpdisplaysettings.png
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then enable the monitor that represents your projector an make sure your
|
||||||
|
you have checked Extend the desktop.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Linux
|
||||||
|
-----
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Due to the vast varieties of hardware, distributions, desktops, and drivers
|
||||||
|
this is not an exhaustive guide to dual monitor setup on Linux. This guide
|
||||||
|
assumes that you have properly set up any proprietary drivers if needed. You
|
||||||
|
should seek out your distributions documentation if this general guide does not
|
||||||
|
work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GNOME
|
||||||
|
^^^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This guide is for users of the GNOME desktop who do not use proprietary drivers.
|
||||||
|
From most distros go to System --> Preferences --> Display Settings (Monitors)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: /pics/gnome.png
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Setup your projector with the correct resolution and make sure you do **not**
|
||||||
|
have mirrored desktop enabled (same image on all monitors).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
KDE
|
||||||
|
^^^
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This guide is for users of the KDE desktop who do not use proprietary drivers.
|
||||||
|
From most distros click the Kick Off menu and navigate to **system settings**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: /pics/kdesystemsettings.png
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Click on the display and monitor icon.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
.. image:: /pics/kdedisplay.png
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From here you will need to set up your projector with the appropriate
|
||||||
|
resolution, and position. OpenLP works best projecting to the monitor on the
|
||||||
|
right.
