Guest The MAZZTer Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 The process to set nView using a command line is as follows: Doesn't work on the latest beta drivers. Any attempt to use the DLL function resets the card back to one monitor standard mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The MAZZTer Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Never mind, even though my card has both digital ports I needed to use both analog flags (I use DVI->VGA adapters). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razza Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Is there a command that allows you to start up an application by display number? For example is there a command line I can run so that it would start up vnc viewer and put it on display number 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teraphy Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Glad you resolved your issue Mazzter and replied with the solution :) There isn't anything for displaying a program in a designated window through this command. I'd imagine the program would need some sort of "save window position" setting for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Look in the nvidia desktop manager in the nvidia control panel, I think you can set certain programs to launch on certain monitors. (nvidia has a pdf manual for the desktop manager online) Even without that some programs I have do remember what monitors they launch on, so its definitely possible.

blah238 Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 These commands are great. I was wondering though if there is something for setting the positioning of the secondary display relative to the primary display. For example when you go into the Windows display control panel, you can drag one monitor to the opposite side, or above, and even with which corner it is aligned. So I imagine a total of 8 possible positions. Would be nice to automate that instead of having to change it every time I activate the secondary monitor.

Guest Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 There's a guide to NVCPL.DLL at: developer.download.nvidia.com/SDK/9.5/Samples/DEMOS/common/src/NvCpl/docs/NVControlPanel_API.pdf It describes a command called setscreenposition. rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setscreenposition <display#> [NV device moniker>] [<direction> <value> ["nocommit"]]|["commit"]|["cancel"] where direction is either up, down, left, or right value is the amount of relative screen movement, in pixels I haven't gotten it to work for me but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

siiix Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) hi all this works great in clone mode, like laptop + TV but with my other computer i have a problem i use an analog monitor and an RGB projector (analog) now the problem is that on the monitor i have a higher resolution then the projector can handle witch means i cant use clone, i have to use dualview now if i switch in control panel it works, but if use command line the icons/bar move over to the projector and so messing up the icon placement what do i do wrong ? rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setview 1 dualview AB AA rem here comes the game/program pause rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setview 1 dualview AA AB edit i tried this too (same happened): rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setview AB AA rem game pause rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setview AA AB EDIT: GOT IT !!!!! this is the solution: rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg primary 2 rem game pause rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg primary 1 Edited June 15, 2008 by siiix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sanchises Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 How can I use this command line to switch between nView Desktops? Hoe kan ik dit commando gebruiken om tussen nView Dekstops te wisselen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I don't think it can be used for that. This stuff is also quite old and may not apply to newer drivers anyway. Use the nview desktop manager's hotkey feature for desktop switching, it has that functionality. There is also a manual for it on nvidia's site.

Guest Sanchises Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Too bad.. I want to use it for programming something, so this looked very nice to me. Where did you find this on the nvidia site? greetings Sanchises Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mackie Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Thanks for all this - excellent stuff. I'm having some problems making this work consistently. I have a Media Centre PC with a 32" Hyundai TV and an old 15" Dell monitor, which I want to force the PC to recognise at boot and at resume from standby, whether they are turned on or not, with the Dell being the primary screen for a dualview setup, with different resolutions on each. The TV is on HDMI and the Dell on an analogue converter from digital. I have used a batch file with: rundll32.exe nvcpl.dll,dtcfg setview 1 dualview DA AA which runs at startup. It works mostly, but generally sets the Dell as the primary display (although I would have expected it to set the TV as the primary display - originally when I set it up that is what I had planned). Often when the TV is turned off it simply sets the Dell as a single monitor. It never resets which screen is primary if it is already in dualview with the wrong primary. Should I run the command again for display 2 with "setview 2" (or 0 - would have to check the display number) for the other monitor, or does it not work like this? On resume from standby the screens seem to reset themselves, so I've been running the file again automatically on resume using a .vbs script, when it seems even less reliable. If you have any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong, or an alternative way to get this to work, I'd love to hear them! My aim is to run Media Centre on the TV all the time, so it is just there when my wife or kids turn the TV itself on, and everything else on the monitor (for me...). It needs to be child-friendly, so I have to get this working 100% or I'll end up unplugging the monitor again. Best, Mackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rokhoe Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I'm trying to set my vga output as primary and disable the internal screen of my Vostro 1500. Ultramon is the tool I'm currently using, which allows you to save profiles. It can be set to load the profiles on each logon, but this feature doesn't seem to work so seamlessly. When I wake up from sleep or startup Vista, the gfx card tries and fails to autodetect the connected displays and always resets to the internal screen. So each time I'm waking up or starting up my system, I have to start manually the profile I saved in ultramon. It would be great if there was any solution to this problem. THX in advance;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have no problems with that scenario. Perhaps this could help you to have external as primary and then switch the internal off with NVidia Control Panel http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=6614 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
