OK…I went to the dark side and decided to try dual monitors in Flame, mainly because I am planning to KMV switch between PC’s sooner or later, so I thought why the hell not and give it a try for Flame. In the end I found the dual setup somewhat unwieldy (read: very unfamiliar) so opted for using the…

Oh gosh, it’s been a while. Try typing nvidia-settings in the terminal and opening the Nvidia settings app. I’m away from the computer, but I think you set the primary monitor in that application.

Hi Randy, thanks for your reply. yeah but that’s the weird thing - my “main” monitor is already set as the Primary; and Flame just decides to start the main UI screen on the secondary all of a sudden. When I, just for testing, assigned the secondary as primary for a while then Flame switches but t…

Hi Robert, I don’t have an answer to your question, but I have a question about your question… What is your setup to allow the other monitor to act as a broadcast monitor? For years we’ve used a traditional broadcast monitor getting and SDI signal from an AJA card, but I’ve never used a ‘computer…

Have you tried setting the env var? To use the primary monitor: DL_QT_FORCE_SCREEN=0 or To use the secondary monitor: DL_QT_FORCE_SCREEN=1

This has happened to me a few times. Usually actually when switching displays while Linux is running, they get swapped around. In the early days I had to reboot. Later I found the settings in nvidia-settings to reset it via software, but it wasn’t intuitive. I think there was something that the UI i…

[image] 3 monitors Flame Questions Has anyone figured out how to change monitor order on the Mac yet? This is the ideal order. Monitor (1 eizo) home / flame UI. Monitor (2 PVM) is automatically used as the broadcast monitor by flame. Monitor (3 eizo) is another desktop…

Hi all, thanks so much for all your replies! I looked into it again and -for some reason- this time it worked swapping the cables from the GPU output, and then, because then the monitor left/right orientation swapped, not in the Linux display settings but in the Nvidia settings, I swapped the “Make…

I actually use an external switch on the Eizos: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JQDMYMY On the back side each has a cable to the NVidia GPU on the Linux/Windows system, front side goes to the Eizo. One each per monitor. It’s a quick button push, and by doing them in the right order timing, you…
