Dual Monitor Issue

We use dual head, for both server and swing development. Never had a
problem.

I use a dual monitor setup (one "monitor" is my laptop screen), and it
works well. There are occasional issues related to the fact that Swing
is not dual-monitor savvy (opening menus near the edge of one screen, etc.).

One thing to check is that the application hasn't really hung and has
instead opened a window off screen somewhere.

I appreciate the help!

Got it working-- we were building against JDK 1.4.0_02, when I shifted the
target JDK to 1.4.1_01, everything comes up just like it should.

thanks again

Sorry - I've never had a problem with my dual-head setup.

crash at this method?
at sun.java2d.loops.DefaultComponent.Bgr24BitToArgb(Native Method)

If there are different color depth on these two monitors, (ex. one is CTR,
and another one is LCD), change them to the same color depth.

No it just locked up, no crash. Also am running 2 identical monitors @ same
resolution & color depth.

The app was being compiled & ran under JDK 1.4.0_02, when I changed to to
JDK 1.4.1_01 the problem went away.

Thanks!

I have the problem consistently on Linux Mint with openjdk 17.0.7 2023-04-18 (Temurin). It doesn't matter, whether I run both monitors from the motherboard, the graphica card, or mixed.
