Default How To: Not loose your mouse with extended monitor + dummy plug
If you have multi GPU setup on a rig that the family uses, or someone else, and they complain that they keep loosing the mouse in the second (dummyplug) monitor. Here is a solution. Orient the monitors like this:


The bottom right is ideal because people often don't click down there, but it can be arranged to any other corner. I suggest not using the top right though.

Enjoy.

Nice. But then again, if you have Ultramon, you are probably using it for a multimonitor system. Too bad it costs $40/copy, otherwise that would be a good solution as well.
