Dual Display config - Nvidia FX 3400
by Ben Cheng on Jun 22, 2005 at 12:23:02 pm


Hi

Wonder if anyone here has any experience with setting up combustion for dual display ?

The system config as follow

Dual Xeon + WinXP Pro + Quadro FX 3400 + Dual computer displays + combustion 4 + Decklink - video output disabled + not acting as 3rd computer display

Wonder if the palatte settings should be locked or floating

Facing this issue with combustion only

Any advice is greatly appreciated !


Cheers
Ben Cheng

Hi Alex

Thanks for your post

The original config was locked & everything was working fine

It was changed to floating & everything was fine

Then we changed to locked, both displays flicker & the software freeze, when we start a new workspace or open an existing workspace

Changed the window config preference from dual window to single in locked mode doesn't help too


If its back to floating, everything works again


Cheers
Ben

Hi B...

Try deleting the host.ini file.

This will set yu back to square 1 as if you are opening combustion for the first time...

tthen set as yu like.

Let me know what happens...

Hi Alex

My customer managed to resolved the issue himself

He found out that after switching the combustion window config preference from dual to single

He need to re-launch combustion before changing the palette preference from floating to locked

Everything works fine then

My understanding from the customer is that he can't change both settings the same time

Thanks for your attention & time


Cheers
Ben
