Applying touchscreens/glorified mousepads to only the secondary display?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Woohoo! I finally got two screens :D I'm a professional now! :D

 

Second one's a touchscreen, too. A bit gimmicky, but I figure I might as well have the functionality. It'll be useful somewhere-or-other, I'm sure.

Thing is, its touchscreen capabilities are only applying to the primary monitor (1680x1050), and I want it to be the secondary monitor (as it's 1280x1024 - I'm on odd one that prefers my secondary monitor to be 4:3) - obviously not ideal to have to touch the wrong monitor at the wrong resolution.

 

Does anybody know of a way I can make it only apply to the secondary monitor? There's nothing in its hardware settings (Control Panel - Mouse - Hardware - USB Touchscreen Controller (Universal) - Properties)

 

My Google-Fu has failed me, and I can only find threads mentioning Tablet PC Settings, of which is not an option in my Control Panel :(

The screen is the second monitor. The touch capability is not.

If I poke the secondary monitor, it moves the mouse to the equivalent point on my primary monitor, instead.

 

Sorry if I didn't explain it too clearly.

Now I'm with you! Thought you'd just had a tough week ;)

 

What brand/model is the touch screen?

 

Have you tried seeing if there's a calibration option in Control Panel?

It's an.. A.. Um.. Thing.

I can't see any branding on it at all.

Identifies as Generic PnP Monitor in Device Manager.

Thanks to Aida32 it tells me it's a Iiyama ProLite T1930SR-B1 19 inch Touch Screen Monitor. One of these.
