Windows 8.1 and Lilliput 7" issues

Wim · 10-25-2013, 10:52 AM

OK - we have an NVIDIA 670 GTX and reproduced the issue. Now being investigated.

The issue we reproduced looks to be something different to the problem on this thread, as it was caused by multiple GPUs on the test machine (an unsupported scenario).

Now we have the GTX 670 as the only graphics card, it is working fine. Suspicion is that this could be something to do with Windows as it sounds like we are rendering the pixels that Windows gives us onto the USB display.

Could someone record a quick video to show what they are seeing? Also, when you see the problem, can you "print screen" and paste it into Paint, and see if this is the same as you are seeing on the extended screen? If so, then this sounds like a Windows issue with multiple displays and Windows not correctly rendering the desktop to all displays.

I just the did the "print screens", and it does shows what is being displayed on the extended monitor.

Soon, I will try to make a quick video of this issue

I did some quick videos of the display issues I currently have.

First video, showing with Rainmeter
http://youtu.be/HVDMO7p6LyQ

The screen starts on that dark color background, when I click on Rainmeter settings it appears (it gains focus). Then, I go to that screen and click on the desktop, Rainmeter loses focus and the dark background appears again. If I right click on it, nothing happens. After left clicking on it, the windows start menu screen appears.

The second one is the same issues but putting Chrome into focus

After Chrome is on focus, I can interact with it normally. After it loses focus, the dark color screen appears and it behaves exactly as in the previous video.

Here's a small video of the issue. Sorry for the bad quality. As you see on start of windows, the usb monitor is grey like the background of my windows start screen. When I click the right mouse button the windows start screen appears, but not the team speak client. So I have to reset the usb monitor, than do it again and after set i have to change the resolution from 600x800 to 480x800.

Stoney, so your usb monitor works after you change the resolution?

Mine only has the 480x800 resolution, and can't get it to work properly so far.

Stoney · 11-02-2013, 06:41 PM

Yes, it does. But before I have to reset the monitor (last point on the menu) and than pass new. Then the resolution ist at 600x800 and I have to set it to 480x800.

Hi,

I've setup a machine to investigate this - is there a specific version of Rain meter I should use? Any non default options selected?

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

I think you can use every app. Take a look at my video.
I don't know which Rainmeter-Version was used by armaldon.

Regards,
Kristian

Hi,

These steps work for me after first connection of the monitor or after rebooting.

1. Change rotation to any other angle
2. Bring up Metro screen on 7" monitor
3. Select Desktop tile on 7" monitor and you can now see the desktop.

Thanks,
James
