Re: [Bino-list] Dual screen not working on windows

[Pedro Silva Pinto]

Hi Martin,

Yes but, if that is the case, wouldn't it affect screen detection also? Bino 
does detect correctly the number of screens I am using, and I tested it in 
several scenarios:
-A triple monitor system: tested with Windows 10 and Ubuntu 17.10, with Gnome 
desktop environment.
-A dual monitor system (laptop with external monitor): tested with Windows 10.
In any case, the number of monitors shows correctly in the dual screen set up 
menu.
Also, if the way the desktop environment handles multi-screen was to blame, 
version 1.6.0 would suffer also. It works perfectly, though I only tried on 
Win10.

Regards,
Pedro

Hi Pedro,

another possibility is that multi-screen handling is handled differently on 
different desktop environments. Which Windows version are you using? I never 
got feedback for anything newer than Windows 7.
And which desktop are you using on Ubuntu? It may have something to do with 
that, but I'm not sure.

Regards,
Martin
