I wont to find a Lcd screen that works as a mouse to a bigger 15in screen for my truck.

You mean a touchscreen larger than 15"? They make 17" resistive TS's, and above that you are looking at digitizer touchscreens, or the IR screens.

i have a 15n touch screen but i also wont a say 7 in screen i can use as the mouse so i dont have to move to get to the bigger screen, what would the name of that type of screen be called?

I have no idea what you are saying.

If English is not your first language, write in your native language. I can help you in French if needed. Others German, Spanish, Japanese/Chinese.

Mouse simulator is there any thing called (Mouse simulator)?

I still have no idea what you are trying to say.

Any screen that acts like a mouse is called a touchscreen. If you want to use the touchscreen control without a full LCD too, it is called a touchpad. Or you can get an overlay.

Windows only sees 1 mouse by default. So you can hook up 1 million Touchscreens and it will still only have 1 mouse. So if you touch any of the screens on the top right, the mouse will go to the top right. Simple as that.

what i wont is a 15in touch screen in the dash and a 7 in mouse screen n the arm rest so when i am driving i dont have to move to get to the 15 in screen. hope this helps a little better

I understand what he's saying

One 15" screen (touchscreen or non, whatever he chooses)
one 7" touchscreen

Both display the same thing.
This should be fairly easy to do, just get a video card with two VGA outputs that is capable of cloning, send the same output to both screens. Just make sure to find a resolution and frequency both screens can handle. There are some programs that can give u more precise control over monitor settings, but i can't think of the names right now.

Good luck!

i think you have it i wont to see the mouse arrow move in the 15in and not have to look at the 7in to. if what you say is true thank for the advice.

shouldnt be too hard to keep the mouse pointer visibly and set it so that moving ur finger moves the mouse (rather than clicking)

Let's just wait on someone more experienced to confirm though

miller2000 · 03-03-2007, 05:19 PM

i will keep my eye on the thread and thanks again

Like I said, you can have as many mice inputs as you want, but it will only work as 1 mouse. So connect it and you are good to go. Seems like overkill to have a full other screen just to push the screen. Sort of defeats the purpose of even having a TS on your 15".
