When you flip the Toshiba M200 Tablet into tablet mode, the screen inverts to allow you to read and write on it. If you're hooked to a second screen or projector, that flips as well. My plan is to use UltraMon to reflip the secondary. That would let me use the tablet on the table, while still seeing the correct view on my desktop monitor. (I treat it as a clone of the tablet screen, not a second screen.)
This seems to work, though every time I go to the mirror settings it seems to be different: sometimes there's one monitor shown, sometimes two, and UltraMon seems not to realize that I have the secondary to the left of the tablet.
I thought maybe the Tablet was aware it was running two monitors and so I switched it from thinking it was displaying both PC and LCD to just PC, which I guess let UltraMon do the mirroring.
It's sort of working, except that all my icons disappear from both monitors when I do show desktop, and won't come back until I pop a window up over them. And it rearranged them once, but that was perhaps pilot error.
I haven't disconnected the Tablet from its docking station, but I'm supposing that will probably work just fine.
So ... does it sound like I'm on the right track? Thanks,

You'll need to be in extended desktop mode to use UltraMon mirroring. UltraMon mirroring is a software solution, and doesn't use the video card's clone mode.
Unfortunately I don't know why the icons would vanish if you use Show Desktop, that's most likely not related to UltraMon.
UltraMon will save/restore desktop icon positions by default, you can disable this feature under UltraMon Options > General > Desktop Icons.

That's odd ... I did get it working, and I'm sure I didn't use extended desktop mode. I used UM's Mirror settings to flip both X and Y on the second video card shown on the list, back onto the first monitor. (Which seemed to be the separate LCD, in UltraMon's mind.) When I would do "identify", both screens would show "2 1".
Is there a manual for this thing, or just the help file?
Thanks,

UltraMon mirroring will always run in extended desktop mode, for example if you only have a single monitor enabled, then start mirroring, UltraMon would enable the second monitor as well.
During mirroring, you would need to use UltraMon's identify feature to get correct results, you can access this via UltraMon menu > Display Settings.
The reason for this is that UltraMon mirroring prevents windows from being on the mirror target monitor, which results in the #2 window getting moved to the primary monitor.
Unfortunately there is no additional manual.
