Accessing the Configuration Options
On the TwinView panel, the monitor icon numbered 1 represents the primary
display device. In Standard mode, there is only one monitor icon. In Clone
mode, the monitor icon numbered 1 represents the primary display device and
the monitor icon numbered 2 represents the secondary display device. To access
the configuration panels for Twin View modes, use any one of these procedures:
• Click the monitor icon (1 or 2) to display a context menu of options and click
the option you want; or
• Click the down arrow in the Display field to select the display device (i.e.,
TwinView Display 1 or TwinView Display 2 if you have multiple display
devices) you want to configure. Then left-click the Device Settings button to
display a context menu of options and select the option you want.
Standard Mode
The Standard mode option in the TwinView control panel disables the Twin-
View feature allowing viewing in only one display.
To access TwinView Standard mode,
1 Click the Standard option on the TwinView control panel
2 Click Apply.
Figure 5.5 shows analog monitor (CRT) as the primary display device (Display
1). If you have a DFP and/or a TV connected to your NVIDIA GPU-based
graphics card, you can choose to display on the DFP or TV instead of the CRT.
The next section explains how to switch between these devices.
Figure 5.6 shows a TwinView panel when only one display device, such as an
analog monitor (CRT), is attached. Note that the Clone mode option is disabled
in this case.
Note: Force detection of a monitor on the secondary connector is a check
box on the TwinView control panel and is normally disabled (grayed out)
as shown in Figure 5.5. Check this box if you have a monitor connected
to the secondary display connector that is not being detected. This is
useful for older monitors or monitors connected with BNC connectors.
