Hi there, overall quite impressed with the luck I've had with OS X on my ThinkPad T60. Now I'm trying to get the dual-head to work under OS X. The internal graphics work fine (with a bit of tearing) when there is no monitor attached, and when I attach an external display it works but the internal doesn't. Has anyone had any luck getting both displays to work on this model/chipset? I've seen references in the forums to Thinkpads with ATI video cards, but I can't seem to see anything about dual-head on the GMA 950. One of those things that isn't essential, but sure would be nice. :)Actually, I just seem to have figured it out. I set the internal LCD to be the boot display in the BIOS. I booted OS X again and opened the displays control panel, and found the Arrangement tab was now present. In that tab it showed both displays, but the external was still not displaying any video. I turned on mirroring, and it switched to only the external display. But when I turned mirroring off again, suddenly it worked on both displays! I was even able to hit Detect Displays after this, and it detected the type of external display.A little bit round-about, but still - w00t!
