I copied the file as you said and now the screensize is again as at the beginning.
I attached some screenshots so you maybe find out something a bit better. I would make me really sad if this great plugin cant be used with my new integrated touchscreen...but i count on your skill to find a solution maybe...

Than I would say...

We'll wait for the new version of the PlugIn and see than what happens. May be it solves from alone.
Hope that's ok for you.
If there is the same issue I'll try as I said before with 800x600. Problem is I can't test, because my Display can't be set to this resolution.

Cheers,
Wonder

Set MPDispay resolution to automatic
Try different refresh rates (Hz) on you touchscreen , This may fix the issue
(My inbuilt 7'' TS makes strange resolutions at deffernt Hz, The same as your screenshot)

Just an idea, Good Luck

Hi sa_ddam213,

the problem is that i cant change the refresh rate of that Mimo USB display. The only possible seems fixed @60Hz which is standard too imo.
Maybe you can tell me another way to change refresh with special tools to change the driver of Mimo Tftf?
I know there are Powerstrip or Phoenix EDID Designer but my skill is too low for using this tools correctly. I tried around some time before because of problems with my tripplehead2go config on my flight sim rig but i wasnt able to change anything there in lack of knowledge.
I would be glad if you can give a hint for my Momo´s refresh

What happens if you open MP or another application(maximized) on that display?
Have you tried changing the MPDisplay "Custom Resolution" to a size that may match, Try somthing like 600x600 and ajust from there till it fits correctly.

Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

I tried in MPDisplay2 config under "custom resolution" 600x480 and 600x600 and other resolutions. I attached of both resolutions screenies and one screenshot of changing the 600x480 Mimo-USB to Primary and startet Mediaportal. MP is shown in right size. Only the MPDisplay2 Plugin wont. I really dont know what is the problem here but it seems that the plugin itself doesnt change to right size.

Hi Guys!

I see on the roadmap that the next version is planned for today! Can we really expect a new version today?

Hi powermarcel,

I have version 0.5.9 here, but there where some small issues in it. Sa_ddam is on it and I hope that I’ll get the new version today (don’t know how long he’s working on it, but in NZ is it now 00:56). If I get the new version today, I will post here again (except sa_dam do this before) after upload on our server.

Cheers,
Wonder

Sa_ddam213,

Sorry to bother you with a basic question, when you are busy developing the plugin, but I was hoping you could give me some advice.

A few weeks ago (post #8 on this thread) you gave me some advice regarding the fact that Windows XP changes the display settings if it boots up with one of the displays turned-off:

Not if you buy a wee cheap GFX card for the secondary ant set you main card as first display in BIOS
Or setup a ATI profile

Well, I love your plugin so much that I think I might get a new graphics card to make it work.

I am probably going to get an ATI 5450 card and setup an ATI Profile as you suggested. My question is: If I do setup an ATI Profile, will the system always default to that profile what ever happens (for example, will it override XP when the PC boots up with the TV is switched-off), or will I need to assign a Hot Key to allow me to manually switch (back) to that profile in the event that Windows decides to change the screen configuration?

I have of course got the WAF to worry about

Thanks for your time.
