Moving desktop windows between monitors
RGS enables you to move desktop windows to any part of the client screen space. If the desktop windows
sent from the workstation blade have borders, click the top border and drag the desktop to the desired
location. If the desktop windows do not have borders, perform the following steps to move a window:
1. Enter RGS Setup Mode.
2. While holding the system in Setup Mode (by default, continue to hold the Shift key down), click
anywhere on the desktop, and drag the window to the desired location.
3. Release the mouse button and Shift key.
To simplify the alignment of desktop windows with monitors, the RGS Receiver has a "snap" feature that
performs the alignment automatically when a desktop window is positioned close to the edge of a
monitor. If the snap feature is not working, bring up the Receiver Control Panel and click the button.
Spanning multiple displays with a desktop window
The workstation blade NVIDIA graphics adapter supports a large display area (up to 4x2500x1600).
The client computer automatically adjusts its display area to accommodate the blade desktop window,
limited by the number and resolution of the monitors. For example, you might want a single workstation
blade desktop window to span two client monitors, each with a 1280x1024 resolution, placed side-by-
side. The process to size the blade desktop window is the same as changing the display resolution on a
traditional PC or workstation running Windows® XP:
1. Right-click in an open space in the workstation blade desktop window, and then select Properties.
2. Click the Settings tab.
3. Under the Settings tab, adjust the screen resolution slider to 2560x1024, and then click OK.
The desktop window now spans two monitors. If the desktop window starts on the right-most monitor,
move the desktop window to the left-most monitor to view it in its entirety.
Maximizing a window to a single display
If the workstation blade desktop window is set to span multiple monitors, every window that you
maximize within the desktop window also spans multiple monitors. However, this behavior might not be
desirable. The graphics driver SoftPaq supplied by HP includes an NVIDIA tool, nView, that enables you
to change the setting so a maximized window fills only one monitor. To change the setting, perform the
following steps:
1. Change the resolution from 1600x1200 to 2560x1024.
2. Identify monitors (displays 1).
3. Go to the Desktop Management tab, select Disable, and then Enable.
4. Go to the Windows tab, and identify monitors (displays 1).
5. Save settings, and then exit nView.
6. Re-enter nView.
7. Go to the Windows tab, and identify monitors (displays 1).
8. Log out.
9. Log in.
