spatimouth01 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 How can I disable 1 monitor in OSX 10.6.2? I have a geforce 250gt setup with efi strings. I'm using a IZ3D monitor which basically is two monitors in one package. It's a 3d monitor, 1 lcd is a full color screen and the other is a shadowed non color screen. OSX will show it as two monitor and every now and then I will get a window that will goto the 2nd monitor and I'll have to put my 3d glasses on to see it and move it back to the color screen. I dual boot windows and osx. The cables must be in a certain order or else I don't get the 3d effects on the windows side. I can't mirror, all I get is a blue image on the color monitor, and the shadow side will show the windows. I don't want to have to disconnect wires either since I'll will be constantly fumbling with wires everytime I reboot into a different os. Is there some sort of edit I can do to the system file to force it not to show the 2nd monitor? This is probably the only major issue I have with osx is that I can't force it to disable one monitor without physically disconnecting a cable. I've searched high and low and I have no clue where to go here. Hopefully someone will have some sort of a answer. Thanks in advance. Here's some info on my video card and monitors. I'm using efi strings to get it to work.
