Working MFD! :D

After picking up the LCD's on Tuesday and getting disappointed about the resolution for one, I started reading up on the whole multi-screen thing. I downloaded the ATI Control Centre which fixed the resolution problem - native for these screens is 640x480. Sweet, done.

So the playing began. I had never worked with multi-displays before so it was weird seeing the mouse move around... :)

One of the first things I did was to put the good ol' IRC channel in-screen while being able to do other stuff:




Then I started playing with F4 Glass, which for some reason I thought was capable of sending MFD data as well as instruments. Not so, instruments yes, MFD's are a whole different ball game...

After reading up a bit online I found a couple of programs that mirror monitors and I've started playing with that idea until I can be bothered getting into anything too technical.



I'm using a program called Ultra Mon with the add-on MirrorMon from http://www.realtimesoft.com/. You can resize, move, do whatever you want to the area/monitor/window being mirrored. The only limitation that is obvious - if the screen changes or moves, the area mirrored will change as well. Not gonna be a huge problem I don't think, that'll do for now... :)
