The benefit of placing the pallets on a second monitor is you can create more physical working space for your project files which reduces the amount of zooming and scrolling around the artboard. So instead of just floating them over the application or docking them to the side, you can place them on a second monitor as well. What I’ve found to be a great benefit to placing the pallets anywhere I want is that you can also place them outside the application’s bounds. This is why dual monitors are a benefit with each application on a separate screen. Having two applications split on a screen isn’t terribly annoying, depending on the app, but as Adobe programs come allow for custom workspaces where you can move around pallets so it best fits your work style, splitting two apps on a screen will likely prevent you from being truly productive. This way I’m not constantly flipping between two applications or having to split my screen with applications on both sides on a single monitor.
I’ve been using dual monitor for about 15 years as it’s very helpful to have my Adobe apps on the primary screen and other apps, like Word or Outlook, on the second. Taking that one step further is Captivate’s custom Workspaces and then positioning pallets on another monitor instead of solely repositioning them within the application. Monitors with higher resolutions do allow you to have more working space in applications, but the extra screen real estate you get with a second, and even third, monitor can greatly improve your workflow. use RightOf or LeftOf to tell the computer where the monitors are relative to each other.If your computer has the capability to use more than one monitor, I highly recommend it when working in Captivate. now, find the ServerLayout section, and add the screens Screen "first screen name" 0 0 Screen "Second screen name"" RightOf "left" Screen "third screen name" RightOf "center" it should now look something remotely like this Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen "first screen name" 0 0 Screen "Second screen name"" RightOf "left" Screen "third screen name" RightOf "center" InputDevice "Generic Keyboard" InputDevice "Configured Mouse" InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents" InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents" EndSection add as many screens as you want. try to keep the default depth and highest resolution the same for each 'screen', it makes things much easier. you can get away with just listing one display section and one resolution, if that's all you'll use, or if you're lazy. under each subsection list all the available modes and sizes for each mode.
Now make a Screen for each card/monitor pair Section "Screen" Identifier "screen name here" Device "card name here" Monitor "monitor name here" DefaultDepth X SubSection "Display" Depth 4 Modes "1024x768" "800圆00" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" "800圆00" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 15 Modes "1024x768" "800圆00" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "1024x768" "800圆00" "640x480" EndSubSection SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1024x768" "800圆00" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection replace X with whatever color depth your hardware can handle. now make a monitor section for each monitor Section "Monitor" Identifier "monitor name here" HorizSync 28.0 - 51.0 VertRefresh 43.0 - 60.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection if your monitor has dpms, you can omit the sync and refresh.
#How do i use dual monitors with citrix workspace driver#
like this: Section "device" identifier "name for card here" driver "card driver name here" BusID "X:Y:Z" EndSection replace x:y:z with the bus id of the card, you can replace "name for card here" with anything, but make sure you're using the proper driver for your hardware. now, go back to that list of cards and addresses you made. in ubuntu, open a terminal and type sudo gedit /etc/X11/nf (again, if you're already root, don't use sudo) save it as or something simular, i can gaurentee the next step won't work the first time.
