Subject about says it. I'm looking a year ahead, so no urgency!!
Specific example I'm looking at is for a church service. Song words
being projected on one screen, other useful information for, say, a
pianist/music group, plus other information for the leader. Three
different displays (or more even), yet to change in sync.
Best idea I can come up (but haven't tried) with is to format for a too-
wide virtual screen, position monitors in the virtual screen space, and
hope nothing moves. But that looks time-consuming to make and is
certainly inelegant and looks prone to issues setting up.
Surely this has come up before? Any thoughts please?
I've been experimenting. I've got 3 monitors hooked up, each 1920x1080.
I can use xrandr (linux) to "merge" two of them into a widescreen
display, and xrandr lists this correctly.
I note that 'slide show settings' now lists two instead of 3 monitors
under this arrangement, although unhelpfully names them 'display 1' and
'display 2' rather than the X11 names.
I've made a sample presentation with aspect 3840x1080. However, Impress
slide show simply will not use the full extent of the merged display,
instead seemingly treating it like a 1920x1080 output.
Has anyone out there had this sort of scheme working, and maybe suggest
obvious errors in what I may have been doing please?
Thanks
