-FiXER- Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 My G4 and Pc connected to one monitor (Westinghouse 19W). For now i'm switching between them thru the lcd's menus. Im looking for a software solution that will cause the video card stop sending a signal for a few seconds (force monitor sleep?), so the monitor will switch to the second connected interface by hismself. Also i need the same thing on PC. If someone has any ideas how can it be done, pour it here. edit: Admins, if you think that this thread belongs more to the Apps forum, you can move it there.

SLy CaT Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 The lil program i attached (for windows) will cause windows to force monitor sleep. i cant remember where i got it from though =\. not quite sure how to make it into a keyboard shortcut though. perhaps some kind of macro program? this may be another windows alternative... but again, no keyboard shortcut. http://www.jimbug.org/downloads/download.htm MonOff.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCosta Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I realize that you're looking for a software solution, but would'nt a KVM work? You can pick up a simple one for less than $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i stopped using it though... because, well... it didnt have dvi support U_U ) besides, if there is a software alternative, why waste $10+ XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
