[QUOTE="Crazy Newt, post: 295683, member: 1595"] I never thought my cabinet mode was fully functioning or that maybe it would only work with a second monitor. I have a 32" 2K 144Hz g-sync monitor that rotates into portrait mode and tilts back about 30°. I always wanted to move the DMD off the main screen onto a second monitor. I found a little 10.1" IPS 1920x1080 LED monitor that was relative inexpensive and had a bunch of positive reviews from Raspberry Pi users. [url]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076GZVCP2[/url] This monitor is VESA mountable and I picked up a 39" adjustable position mount that I can use with this new monitor. I plan on mounting the little monitor on the stand and when I rotate my bigger 32" monitor into portrait mode for pinball games, I can position this monitor to be used solely as a DMD just above the big monitor. Using the cabinet mode is a pain. I had no idea why noting moved. I made sure to enable the reposition for both backbox and dot matrix. It took another frustrating few minutes to realize that neither the controller or mouse would change the values, but I had to place the focus on the text box and then enter the values. Still, even after all that, I simply could not get any part of the DMD to appear on the second monitor. Google fu eventually found a comment about swapping primary monitors and lo and behold it worked. I could now play the game on the big screen in portrait mode, and see the DMD in the little monitor. This would have been great, except the my frames per second dropped to the 60 Hz to match the little monitor instead of my frames limited g-sync at a rock steady 141 FPS with my RTX 2080 Super at 2550x1440p. Refusing to give up, I went back to searching and finally stumbled upon using negative values to move the DMD position. Eureka! Goodness, what a pain in the rear. I am expecting my new monitor stand/mount to arrive tomorrow. But for now, I was able to get everything working and will only need to figure out the coordinates for the new DMD position.
