Using nView Multi-Display Settings
About Display Numbering
When you are running in nView Single display, Clone, or Dualview mode, the
numeric part of the display image identifier such as 1 (or 2), 1 and 2, 1a and 1b, or 2a
and 2b reflect the Windows display number, as viewable from the Windows Display
Properties page.
Note:
The Windows operating system only assigns numbers to displays running in
native Windows multi-display mode — i.e., Dualview, which is common to
both Windows and NVIDIA — but not Clone mode, which is an NVIDIA
nView-specific display mode.
nView Dualview mode
. The display images on the nView Display Settings page are
numbered as separate displays, 1 and 2, as in the Windows Display Properties page.
nView Clone
or
Span mode
. Multiple displays running in nView Clone or nView
Span mode also appear as one “Dualview” head to Windows and therefore the
Windows Display Properties page displays only a single display image. The display
images on the nView Display Settings, however, may be numbered as 1a and 1b (or
2a and 2b) where the numeric value remains the same with only the alphabetic part
of the number (a or b) designating separate heads indicating dual display.
About Renaming Displays
In this release of the NVIDIA driver, you can also “rename” the display names that
appear on your desktop context menu shown in
of the previous chapter.
On your nView Display Settings page, these display names are also always visible in
the Primary Display and Secondary Display fields and when you rest your mouse on
a display image, as shown in
