USB Monitors are not recognized #2

ytdlder commented 2 years ago

As I'm currently arranging 2 Monitors + 3 USB displays, I was looking for a program that could actually align them, without the guesswork from the Windows Settings UI... So I stumbled upon this neat little tool, but when looking at the mappings file, only my 2 "normal" displays are recognized. Not the USB ones :-(

Could you possible update your code?

Thanks!

Hello @ytdlder,

can you please specify the monitor model, you are using?

Also what happens, when you're in the Display Settings*? Can you see all monitors there?

the Windows Settings as shown in the bottom middle here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/misel228/monpos/main/images/desktop.png

All best, Misel

Yes, the monitors are seen in the Settings page: (I have up to 3 USB monitors attached)

These are some hardware details; tell me if you need something more specific!

Cheers! Markus

Sorry, for not getting back to you earlier. I'm afraid, I don't have the time nor the means right now to do a further investigation.

If you know a bit about programming you could however investigate yourself with the "Visual Studio". The Community Edition is free and I've used that one for this project, too.

Then checkout the project and set a break point at this line and investigate the response in the debugger:

God Speed!

Ok, thx for the suggestion; I'm gonna try and take a look, although I'm not much of a coder myself ;-) Cheers!
