Forums -> Multiple monitors -> change monitor identification #
Nike   2009-11-06 01:45
I use two monitors, and now also a HD-tv, but when I turn on my tv it becomes monitor #1 and screws up my wallpapers and monitor position...

The tv is on the only dvi-port that supports sound trough a dvi-hdmi-adapter, so I cant simply change place on the cables

There's no real fix for this, except leaving the TV on all the time, in that case it should keep the same monitor number between reboots.

ok...
is there any way to make ultramon change profile automatically when 3monitors is detected?
both wallpaper profile and position profile

Not automatically, what would be possible is a script which applies a specific wallpaper and display profile depending on the number of enabled monitors.

Do you see 3 enabled monitors under UltraMon menu > Display Settings if you have the TV enabled, and only 2 enabled monitors otherwise?

You're the greatest!!

Right now Im not getting it to work, but Im probably doing something wrong... Ill try some more before asking for more...

Is there a way to be sure that the script is up and running?

Now it works, but I have to manually run the script after turning on/off the tv...
Still better then nothing, but I thought you meant this to would work itself

If I misunderstood Im still very greatfull for the work :D

You'll need to run the script manually, UltraMon doesn't support running a script in response to a display configuration change.
