Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 30760
Show Presentation on second display (window can't be moved to second display on a dual-head system)
Last modified: 2005-04-11 10:21:46 UTC
I want to show the full-screen-presentation on Display 2 in a dual-head- system. I'm using Impress (OpenOffice 1.1) with a dualhead-videocard (Club 3D, Radeon 9200SE, ATI-Hydravision-Dual-Head-Driver, Windows XP, AMD2400+). I expanded the desktop to the second display. The videocard-driver (ATI-Hydravision) provides the function to move a window to 1st oder 2nd display via keyboard-shortcut. This works fine with many programs, but not with a Impress-presentation. It only blinks, but stays fixed on Display 1. A (maybe better) alternative fixing the problem could be to add the powerpoint- feature: Show presentation on Display x.
Reassigned to Christian.
I have seen that the last entry was in June and OOo-1.1 related ... Have you tried this with a newer version of OOo or a new driver for your videocard?
I have a Mobility Radeon 9700 with the newest driver from ATI (WinXP SP2). I use OO1.1.3 Hungarian version. Presentations only can shown on the "1" display on fullscreen (I use 1400x1050) and a projector (1024x768). I had to export the presentation to pdf, and it can play it correctly on the "2" display!!! I only miss the hyperlinks from the pdf export :-( and the cool drawing tool... This feature is essential in a presentation software!!!
IIRC there is a problem to show an OOo-1.1.x window on the second display, but should be solved in 1.9.xx or so. And IIRC it was not that easy to program it into OOo-1.1.x without to rewrite the complete code. But I could be wrong here (have a look in the users@openoffice.org or the dev@openoffice.org mail archive. Here you should find some more infos about that ... ;) ) ...
issue 12719 discusses this issue. Point blank, this is an enhancement request. OOo does not support dual monitors at this time. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 12719 ***
