sorhp Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 hi all, I built my virtual pin about 2 years ago and Im aways adding new tables and upgrading etc... everything runs great most of the time thanks to everyone here that I read on how to fix issues. recently b2s started sending the backglass to the dmd screen and I cannot get it back the 2nd screen. all other programs using three screens including pinballx, fx2, and FP all work as usual with no issues no hardware modifications have been made in months, and we play this machine daily here are my setting and what I have tried: I have 3 screens, the playfield is on the main monitor (number 1) on its own graphics card (1920 x 1080) the 2nd monitor is running from the onboard graphics off the motherboard (Monitor 2 1280 x 1024) the 3rd is a usb mimo 7" monitor (monitor 3 800 x 600) here is my log: "1280"," Screen2ResX" "1024"," Screen2ResY" "0"," Screen2PosX" "0"," Screen2PosY" "\\.\DISPLAY2"," displayname" "------------------------------------------------" "\\.\DISPLAY1"," First screen" "\\.\DISPLAY1"," Second screen" "\\.\DISPLAY1"," Third screen" "------------------------------------------------" "\\.\DISPLAY1"," Selected screen" 1080," Working Area Top" 1560," Working Area Bottom" 2143," Working Area Left" 2943," Working Area Right" when I unplug the usb monitor (3)... b2s sends the backglass to the correct monitor (2), but of course then I have no DMD in the B2S config (screenres.txt) I have set : 1920 1080 1280 1024 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 I have deleted all the info from the screenres txt file and rebuilt it with the b2s-screenres editor I have checked all windows monitor settings and nothing has changed, (remember, all other programs are working with the DMD as usual) I re-installed (and re-registered with the registry) directB2S I ran system restore and restored windows 7 to a month ago, no fix nothing I am doing seems to be fixing the issue, I have scanned the web for several hours looking for the root of the problem. can someone please help out?

sorhp Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 .... updated the drivers did not help I modified the screeneres.txt 1920 1080 1280 1024 2 -239 -1024 0 0 0 0 it got the backglass in the correct spot, but I had to set the file to "read only", something somewhere kept forcing a default to occur and it would erase my new settings 5 hours of fun with this one, thanks guys!

Content Provider allknowing2012 Posted June 27, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted June 27, 2016 What is with the negative numbers in the screenres.txt file? Are your monitors left to right in the windows setup - tops aligned, pf > bg > dmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorhp Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 My pf and backglass are Playfield backglass Dmd (Playfield and backglass are next to each other, dmd is under backglass) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider allknowing2012 Posted June 29, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted June 29, 2016 Those negative numbers are wrong .. they must/should be 99% of the time 0. I think what is happening is the "2" is incorrect. It maynot match the "2" that windows identifies. Try setting those negative to 0. then try changing the 2 to a 1,3,4,5,6, etc. Those numbers represent the # assigned to the video ports in your pc. Get the bg working again with 0/0 then the dmd should be simple after that. Likely something like this: (without the comments) 1920 1080 1280 1024 2 <- this might be something other then 2 .. try different numbers here... 0 <-- offset for the backglass on the selected display (normally left at 0)0 <-- offset for the backglass on the selected display (normally left at 0)600 <-- Width of the DMD area in pixels200 <-- Height of the DMD area in pixels0 <-- X position of the DMD area relative to the upper left corner of the backglass screen1024 <-- Y position of the DMD area relative to the upper left corner of the backglass screen 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorhp Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 I found that setting the negative numbers was the only way to get the backglass in the proper place. I used the nvidia control panel, and it identified my bg monitor as 12, and the dmd monitor as 11, and my pf monitor as 1 I tried setting the bg to 12 (and every other number as well ), but it still placed the bg on the dmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider allknowing2012 Posted June 29, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted June 29, 2016 Can you try the "normal" setup have placing your dmd screen to the right of the bg in the screen setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPARKY70 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 i would try what allknowing said.. it seems to basically be a MUST. i have mine set up like this. ignore the 3 and 2 mixed positions.. i set them up that way, but i cant remember the reason...........4 is unused 1 is my playfield, 3 is my BG, 2 is my DMD monitor 1 has to be at 0,0 /sparky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
