Well, Delphi on the portrait screen on the right, and a big notepad on the left landscape one ? :-) The virtual desktop connects both screens at the top, so the landscape right side connects to the upper 1080 lines of the left side portrait mode. I use the same virtual desktop arrangement under Windows and Linux. I was happy that it even survived an Ubuntu upgrade without reconfiguring.

Going to fullhd (landscape) would have meant decreasing in vertical resolution, and other solutions were specialistic and high cost. Moreover, the portrait option wasn't that much extra, and I didn't like portrait, I could just put it in landscape mode. I only got the second lcd after I decided to keep the monitor in portrait mode. Some things to pay attention too: - if you care about USB HUB and audio functionality in your monitor, check that the connections are on a sane side (and not like my monitor 69cm above the desk in portrait mode:-) - The vertical viewangle (in landscape mode) of my monitor is a bit limited, so in portrait mode I really have to align it a bit towards me, instead of just flat against the wall. _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
