![]() ![]() Or you also reportedly had the crazy option of hooking the system WDDM interfaces themselves. And this used to require untold hardships, between having to emulate some quirks of "real" hardware (funnily enough, even headless systems and so-called Display Only Drivers need certain predispositions) and reinventing the entire wheel of a graphics driver too. On newer Windows instead, in order to manipulate displays you must use (duh) WDDM. VirtualMonitor relied on mirror drivers to work, and that's why it died once Windows 8 removed XPDM support. Privacy concerns aside, Windows 10 Enterprise with its Remote Desktop FX seems to have that figured out. Still no dual monitor capability for my GPU-accelerated remote desktop, so I'll probably need a second piece of software (remote desktop/logmein) just to transmit the second virtual monitor CRU gives me. Which means no sitting next to the noisy graphics card and air cooling. Thanks to CRU, I'm logged in at 1080p on my local end. The remote host chugs along at a decent little 900p, which looks tiny and/or fuzzy on my bigger screen. So I deleted it in CRU, which Windows respected. The second virtual monitor persisted anyway. So unplug the second monitor connection, right? Nope. Then I realized how bad SplashTop's dual monitor support is, and wanted to go back to one. I temporarily plugged into the second monitor port, then used CRU. I also needed to boost the resolution from 900p to 1080p. I needed a dual monitor solution for SplashTop without an extra monitor. Then I messed it up, played with it some more without reading the instructions and it worked even better. Instead of messing with it, I used CRU, ( Custom Resolution Utility), a free software package did the trick.Īfter messing around with the standalone program for a few minutes, it did what I wanted. The so-called "elegant" software solution:Īpparently, custom resolutions can be set up in the registry somehow. There is also a Windows 10 Only! warning, so it may not work on Windows 11. They even provide additional instructions in a idd_instructions.txt file inside as well as uninstall commands. It's 1920x1080 by default, but other resolutions can be configured in the driver. Run deviceinstaller64 enableidd 1 to enable an additional display.Run deviceinstaller64 install usbmmIdd.inf usbmmidd (on 32-bit systems use deviceinstaller instead) as an Administrator to install the driver.Start command line in the directory you've just unpacked. ![]()
