I used to work with two displays. As usual I make full screen on the second monitor for watching web video while continuing to work on the laptop monitor.  In Ubuntu it's always opening in full screen mode on the laptop monitor.  Is it possible to open full screen on the second monitor if so,how can I do this?

I have a dual monitor set-up. When I'm on YouTube, and I click the fullscreen icon, the fullscreen automatically goes to the second monitor. How do I get it to go fullscreen on my main monitor?

I tried to find an answer to this a few years ago, but it seemed it wasn't possible then (I suspect it isn't now either! - but what the hell!)   I have a three monitor system, that I mostly use for remote desktop. However occasionally it would be useful to have remote desktop on two monitors and use the other monitor for the local machine.   I know it is possible to have a single monitor full screen, or to stretch an RDP session across monitors, but this loses things like snapping etc.   P.S. this is a duplicate of  thread, but that was a couple of years ago, I'm hoping things have changed.

In earlier Ubuntu versions like 16.04 and 17.04 while watching YouTube videos in full-screen mode, the screen would not get locked automatically.  In Ubuntu 17.10 while watching videos in browser, system is getting locked. So Ubuntu 17.10 is considering this scenario as user is not doing anything.  Kindly suggest a solution for that.

Let's say I have a PC with two monitors atached. I'm running e.g. Windows Vista natively, and start up a virtual Ubuntu PC. I change to fullscreen mode so that on one Monitor, I see my Windows Desktop, and on the other one, the Ubuntu Desktop. I can now use my mouse and Keybord for both of them.  This works fine, but I'd really like to connect a second mouse and a second keyboard to my physical PC, and do some configuration so that one set of input devices is used for Windows, and another set for the virtual Ubuntu. Then two persons could work at the same time, as if they were using two separate computers, although there is only one physical machine.  I'm currently using Sun VirtualBox and it has a feature to assign specific USB devices to the virtual machine. While this sometimes works for e.g. external disk drives, it never worked for mice and keyboards for me (yes, of course my input devices are attached via USB!).  I'd like to know a solution that works with VirtualBox, but any answer is appreciated, even if another virtualization software or some additional hardware was needed.

I use dual monitor setup with diffrent screen layouts. So I have a "Default_l" screen layout and a "Default_r" screen layout. Is there a way to automate the change of the screen layout: When I change one screen layout for example from "Default_l" to "Compositing_l" the other screen layout also changes from Default_r to "Compositing_r"?

Possible Duplicate:          My work PC has (as you can guess from the title) a single Geforce 9600GT card. According to the  for this card, both DVI ports are Dual-Link DVI. Both are currently in use on Dell 19" 1280x1024 screens. I'm running Windows 7, with Aero enabled, for what that's worth.  What I'm wondering is if I can use a standard DVI splitter cable to drive a third screen from one of the ports -- specifically a Samsung 22" 1680x1050. I'm really outgrowing the two-screen setup, and am strongly considering bringing in my home monitor (which is almost never used) to bolster my usable space. If I can't, then my alternative is to replace one of these Dells with that Samsung, to give me at least a "little" more space.  (Before you ask, there's probably no chance I can get my company to spring for a second video card and third monitor. Even if I could, it would not be politically expedient, as a number of my other coworkers are already pretty jealous at my setup.)

Since i'm using a wide screen, i want to view two page in full screen while reading PDF. I can view two page in Reading Mode or normal view. however, whenever i switch to full screen mode, acrobat show only one page. I guess there must be some way to view two page when you're in full screen mode in Adobe Acrobat?

I would like to show the screen of my Ubuntu laptop on a Samsung TV.  The TV has a menu entry called "mirror screen".  But up to now I found no way to get it working.  I need a wireless way to us the TV as monitor.  Any hints?  Exact hardware version: Samsung SmartTV UE55J6250   If it is not possible via software am willing to buy some hardware.

Wasn't even sure how do I google this. I am using the laptop screen (1366x768) and an external screen (1920x1080). Is there some way/setting to change the screen height at which the cursor goes to the smaller screen, so that you can move the cursor between the screens at any height? Because right now you can only drag the cursor from the larger screen to the laptop one at the middle of the screen, if you try it any higher or lower it "hit's a wall".   I am already using Actual Multiple Monitors, but I don't think it has this feature.  Windows 7 x64

I need to create a multi-monitor setup for my desktop computer but I have no additional monitors with me right now, aside from my laptop. Is it possible to use my laptop screen as an external monitor?  Note that I am not trying to connect a monitor to my laptop, rather, I am trying to connect my laptop screen to a desktop video card (if this is possible).

There is an  feature in Windows 7. However, it seems to not work when dragging a window to the edge that is adjoined to the second monitor. How to make it work properly? Maybe some regedit modification or something?

Is it possible to set the default display brightness so you don't have to re-adjust it everytime you reboot? My laptop display is killing my eyes at the login screen already because it starts at 100% brightness every time.

Some years ago I switched from Windows to Ubuntu. Now Ubuntu 14.04 is installed on my Acer TravelMate 5742G with:   Intel Core i5-460M Nvidia GeForce Gt 420M and Nvidia binary driver version 331.38 15.6 HD (1366x768)   When I used Windows and had to present something in front of some people I mirrored the display of my laptop and the projector. This was really helpful because in most cases the display of the projector was behind me. Unfortunately, this is not possible with Ubuntu anymore. I tried it with various projectors and displays that worked with Windows before.  In cases the resoultion of both screens did not match Windows cutted my screen and added two black bar to the sides of my laptop display. Is it possible to add this very nice feature to Ubuntu? Maybe I should add that Ubuntu offers only one resolution for my laptop display.  Update 1:  Here is an image of my screen setting (in German, but the buttons are still the same):

This is an odd one. I've got a user on a wide-screen Dell laptop. Everything is working great, but when he maximizes Word it leaves about a centimeter worth of space at the top of the screen, where the desktop is in the background. Everything else maximizes full screen just not word. I can manually resize the window to full screen, but when you choose maximize or double click the title bar it fills in the width but not the height?  Has anyone seen this?

I am starting to work with 2 displays on Ubuntu. One of them is rotateable, so I can use it easily in both landscape and portrait mode. But I world prefer to have ability to change orientation setting (which could be found in System Settings->Desktop) from terminal or script on one display but don't rotate other one.  I am pretty sure it is possible via xrandr!

I have installed Ubuntu on my desktop, but my monitor don't pass more than 800x600 resolution.  My monitor is good at 1360x768. How can I set resolution at 1380x768 ?
