Cloning/duplicating display doesn't work, resolution messes up #24

Closed vertigo220 closed 2 years ago

vertigo220 commented 2 years ago

I'm using this to try and get Parsec working on a headless computer, and after installation I set the resolution of the virtual monitor to the same as the monitor I had temporarily attached (1920x1080) and set it to duplicate, as I assumed (wrongly, it appears) that it would need to be that way for it to show the "normal" display on the virtual one for Parsec to use. But every time I try, it just resets it to an extremely low resolution, which makes everything big and messes up all my windows, which are now all resized very small and moved around when I revert back to extended vs duplicated. This is on a fairly recent Win10 ver (21H2 I think) and a GTX 770 with updated drivers outputting via HDMI to a FHD monitor, using the latest version (0.0.1.2) of IddSD.

Are you using the fork where the resolution is set via text file?

Ah, I am. I thought that repo was the original and basically a demo/template, and this one took it and made it usable. Didn't realize they were actually two different versions. If I'm understanding it correctly, this one creates five virtual displays whereas that one can be configured, so am I correct in thinking this one will require more resources and I should use the other to have just one virtual display?

Yes.
