Mirror Mode - Displays

I tried connecting my old work netbook to my IonXe20 in Mirror Mode for the first time yesterday and the process was easy enough, but I have display questions now & I'm not sure why.

First: I only just installed Nomad on my netbook for this test. I didn't get to verify configurations were correct in stand-alone mode. In retrospect, that may have offered clues. No dongle or gadget. cat5 + hub. Netbook running WinXP.

1) The Ion's Screen 1 always contains the CIA? My netbook has one screen, it should have displayed the Ion's Screen 1.... It displayed Screen 2 only. Why?

2) My mirror display was not the same resolution. I only was able to view the top-left ¼ of the Ion's display.

Simulation:

Display was the same resolution no matter what page was active.

(again, I didn't run Nomad on the netbook in stand-alone to see what it displayed there, my bad. but this seems really odd.)

Thanks!

So I'm broaching this subject again because I got no replies the first time around.

Also, I grabbed some more (low-light) photos in case some thought this was a BS problem. :)

Nomad does run fine in stand-alone mode. But mirror mode produces this.

My netbook doesn't have multiple monitors, so Nomad doesn't give me monitor settings in setup.

(The screen1 / screen2 issue I had before went away. No idea why.)

Any thoughts?

What is the resolution of your netbook screen? It may not be enough for Nomad to work properly (requires a screen resolution of at least 1280x1024).

Also - I have found that mirror mode works best when the Nomad displays are the same resolution as the console displays.

Netbooks do traditionally have trouble due to aspect ratios, but Nomad does run fine in stand-alone mode. So I doubt a minimum resolution is a factor here.

but matching screen size seems like a bit of logical reasoning.
Although I thought that Nomad only echoed show data, or is it echoing screen resolution data in addition to the show data?

Thanks for the reply though, I was feeling lonely here. :)
