VPS screen resolution and multiple monitors.

[Finoh]

Hi

I use BA's VPS from Australia and have 3 monitors set at 1680 x 1050 resolution. 1 x 23" and 2 x 20". I am currently trying 1360 x 768 which fills three monitors but limits what graphs etc I can put on the screens.

When I use mstsc/span( at 1680 x 1050) the desktop only covers 60% of the smaller monitors. I notice that the server has display set at 4096 x 1080.

Any suggestions for solving this problem. So I can get the BA's graphs charts etc across all screens and so that they are at a resolution that is easy to read.

Other than that I have been very impressed with the VPS.

Cheers

if you use the command span it should let you maximise the window accross all your monitors.

Jimrobo I am currently using the span command. The total resolution across all monitors cannot exceed 4096 x 2048 (from Microsoft TechNet).

Jimrobo have you found a way of spanning more than the 4096?

I'm not sure what my resolution is but it fits 2 22 inch monitors no problem. I also know people who use it accross 4 monitors no problem. How much screenspace are you trying to use it accross??

[Finoh]

Jimrobo your native resolution is probably 1680 x 1050. This would give you a total resolution of 3360 x 1050 which would easily fit across 2 wide screen monitors that you have.

I have managed to fit all the charts and everything else needed across the three screens and on the screen portion not accessed by VPS I have Firefox open with bookmaker price information via http://www.thebettingsite.co.uk.

Good luck on Melbourne Cup Day. The actual Meelbourne Cup carnival goes all week. At least I will be able to trade normal daylight hours for a change.

I have a quad screen setup but the VPS wouldn't stretch over all of my screens as I have a bit of an odd setup as I have two widescreens but rotated 90 degrees and then 2 normal 19" screens. It basically fitted across the equivalent of 4 19" screens. Therefore I think there is a limit.

Hi All

Think that the use of Multiple Monitors via Remote Desktop might have got easier with Windows 7.

Support - will this work with the VPS set-up currently in place for BetAngel?
