Twitch241 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I have some problems with getting dual display to work on Nvidia 8600M GT, screen turns black after Display Detection. I have a Dell Vostro 1500, with iAtkos 5i. If Dual screen is not possible, just external display (TV via VGA cable) would work for me as well.

westwaerts Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 yes there is. plug a mouse to the usb port. close the lid of the laptop and wake the system with the mouse. then only the external screen should be on. ( you can open the lid now for typing) at least thats how it works on my powerbook.
