extended desktop

So in a way it's kind of like an extended desktop except it's two different operating systems.

Most allow you to create an extended desktop that spreads across both the internal monitor and the external one, creating an even greater workspace.

In Extended Desktop mode, the external monitor acts as an annex to the built-in screen.

There is also the support for extended desktop in CrossFire X mode.

Windows 7 introduces improved support for multiple monitors in extended desktop mode as compared to past releases of Microsoft Windows.

The ability to change the resolution, colors, rotation, and extended desktop settings directly from ATT's right-click menu.

Another is tiny electronic devices that can communicate with larger desktop computers, a concept Mr. Hackborn calls the "extended desktop."

Windows XP supports both spanning and extended desktops through older NVidia and ATI drivers.

It does not work under Extended Desktop in Windows 7, since extended desktop cannot define one large i.e. 2048x768 or similar spanned resolution.

My work Macbook's running Kubuntu now, partly because that's the only variant capable of doing extended desktop wider than 2048px on an i945 IGP, and the home desktop is wavering between Xu and Lu.

The graphics supports display cloning or extended desktop when using an extended monitor, and also supports OpenGL and Direct3D hardware acceleration, with a performance approximating that of a Radeon 7000 or a GeForce 1.

Many full-screen applications make use of the absolute edge of the display to control view movement, and may not work properly on a multi-monitor PC, for example by failing to track the mouse cursor properly when it continues onto the next display of an extended desktop.

Some problems occur when a user wants to define one large spanned view of two 1024x768 displays into one 2048x768 display in Windows Vista and Windows 7 since only extended desktop is supported and spanned resolutions are non-existent in many applications such as games and presentation software.
