blackviper666 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I have Intel 910/915 graphics and have bridged pins 1,6 and 2,12 to get native resolution and it works fine. Unfortunately I clicked on mirror displays and now when it boots just a small blue windows appears surrounded in black and I can't see anything else. In safe mode it works fine. Is there a way I can uncheck the mirror displays so it works again? In safe mode it is unchecked but when I restart it is obviously checked again as that stupid blue is back Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23615-change-mirror-displays/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackviper666 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Don't worry I've fixed it. If an admin wants they can remove it. What I did was in safe mode went to system preferences arrangement. Then gathered the windows so I could change the resolution on my 'vga monitor'. I made it 1280x960 at 75Hz and when I restarted I could see again. Should have tried that first but I never thought of it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23615-change-mirror-displays/#findComment-156655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Try deleting the following file: /Users/(your user name)/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver.0015f2e34efb.plist Use your name there in the path and the numbers will be different Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23615-change-mirror-displays/#findComment-156656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pojodojo Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I have tried both of these solutions and neither of them seem to work. I did the accidental mirror display thing, and i'm really kicking myself for it now. When I boot up with the Dongle, it will only show a small blue box on the screen with a cursor. Sometimes I dont even get the blue box and its just a box with a cursor, and the colors are all messed up, some black and white scrambled stuff. I Tried booting with an external monitor, and it works fine. I then Tried using a mirrored display with the external monitor on it, and thought that might solve it. but it didnt. I then tried removeing the plist file mentioned above, and that did not work either. any other solutions for this? Inspiron 1300 GMA900 using the vga dongle fron the picture posted on this forum. 10.4.7 patched.

Auggie Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I'm kicking myself right now because I used to have my gma900 working in mirrored mode, but I reinstalled my system and now I'm back to the blue box issue. I can't remember how I did it but at one I had it working perfectly... anyone know how I can get back to that point? Thanks a lot your help is appreciated! PS I'm using the listed pin bridge method of dongle fake. Thanks again!
