Dual Screen Setup

sevans · 10-20-2005, 05:11 AM

Hi guys, hope you can help.

I have set up two screens on my G4 mirror and they work pretty much okay.

However I seem to have a small problem.

The main screen is situated on the left of the secondary monitor. When I go to the very right of the secondary screen the mouse goes out of view by about 50 pixels. Might not sound very annoying but is a bit of a pain when you loose your mouse and also with functions like Expose.

Any help would be appreciated. The two monitors are both 17" one a CRT and the other a LCD.

Many thanks in advance...

�Running dual screens probably has no bearing on your problem — i.e., you'd probably see the same thing if you disconnected your main screen and ran ONLY the secondary as your only screen. You need to configure the horizontal on that device, it's set wider than your physical display area.

Cheers A Hunter3. Unfortunately the secondary screen is a pants Dell and doesnt give the option of reducing the horizontal, just moving it from left to right REALLY HELPFUL???

Anyway thanks for your help
