    Annoying mac pro screen issue w. dual / triple display setup

    by primep » Thu Jul 31, 2008 12:50 pm

    I have a mac pro w. 3 monitor setup, using modul 8 2.5.6.

    I have video projector connected to my new mac pro, but have very strange bug - I'm trying to move the output window to video projector screen, but it refuses to go. It just sticks to the border of other monitor.

    I can move the window to any other of my 3 monitors, and I can move any other window and mouse pointer to projector screen but not the output window. Same problem with only 2 monitors connected to the system. Only way to get it working is to disconnect two monitors. It's but of a bummer when I just got this new system and invested to these monitors, thinking, fck yeaaah!, 3 monitors plus projector, how good is that! and then it refuses to work.... ugh.

    no, 3 monitors are, but projector is 1024 x 768. But anyway window that Im trying to move is much smaller that that, and Im using in "desktop" mode so it should go anywhere.

    maybe try setting them all to the same res..
    It's likely multi resolutions isn't going to happen as it would involve some heavy programming.

    With advanced output enabled it must work. Normally I also can't move the output windows to the other outputs/graphic cards on my mac pro in modul8. But with hitting the button full screen everything works fine.

    What is your mouse setup ?

    To be able to move the mouse on other screen when focus is on Modul8, you should have : Output | Mouse | Free

    Various screen's resolution needs NOT to be the same.
