robenwzrdhat Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Heya guys, I've installed OS X on my dell laptop and I'm trying to get the display to output to my desktop monitor so I can code on it. So far, I hit "mirror desktop" and i get nothing but squiggly (static) lines displayed on both screens. So, I unplug the monitor, laptop returns to normal, but I can't undo the "mirror desktop" setting. Been hunting for hours for a solution, please help?

robenwzrdhat Posted September 26, 2008 Author Share Posted September 26, 2008 K, i'm going to have to bump this. I'm running a dell e1405 w/ a 965 graphics chip set. I need to mirror my laptop display to my desktop. From my readings I have found this to be a problem. So far I've managed to get my laptop to detect the display through a vga output. EXTEND desktop worked just fine and dandy.... but MIRROR DEKSTOP is failing me, hard. I just get the static on both monitors. I CAN"T UNDO THE "MIRROR DESKTOP" OPTION!!!!!! Is there a way to reset this setting w/o plugging in my other monitor? This is the last piece of my puzzle (STARTED IN APRIL!). Btw, just got VMWare workstation 6 version of 10.5.2 working, but it's a li'l slow for my liking. Great guide can be found by pcwiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitechdoc Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Hi, I know this problem happened to you last year, but have you solved the "undo mirror" stuff? I have just had the same problem. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
