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 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.
