------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Dec 12 00:52:48 -0800 2006 ------- In the new Multimonitor dialog on Windows XP, I get an incorrect number of monitors listed. This is running on my laptop. If I start OOo with no external monitor attached, the "Multiple monitors" section of the Slide Show Settings dialog is disabled as expected, indicating that the number of monitors detected is 1. If I start OOo with an external monitor attached, and configured to extend my Windows desktop onto it, the "Multiple monitors" section is enabled, and shows the following choices: - Monitor 1 (primary) - Monitor 2 - Monitor 3 - All monitors Monitor 1 and Monitor 2 both select the laptop display and Monitor 3 selects the external display. I have confirmed that the Windows GetSystemMetrics(SM_CMONITORS) returns 1 with no external display, and 2 with an external display, by calling it using the Python win32 API. My suspicion was that the resolution is somehow being used to calculate the number of displays - my laptop display (primary) has resolution 1280x800 and the external display 1024x768. However testing with a variety of different resolutions for each display made no difference. I tried to look at the code in salframe.cxx but it seems the actual number of monitors is not calculated there (it just uses it to detect whether there is more than one monitor) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
