Gringo Vermelho Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Why don't you plug in your monitors however you want and see if it works? They won't explode in your face you know. For a single monitor on an nvidia card, you should use the output that's closest to the motherboard when looking at the back of your case. Use it with a DVI-VGA adapter if you have to. If you use another port you will, in most cases, end up with a blue screen with mouse pointer an nothing to click on, at least once you start using an injection method (that means GraphicsEnabler=y or NVEnabler.kext for example). OS X supports max. two displays at any given time on nvidia cards, ie, there are only two "ports". As far as I understand this means that some outputs share ports, so for example if you have DVI+DVI+HDMI one of the DVI ports is shared with the HDMI port and you can't use those two at the same time. So if you wanted to use DVI+HDMI in that situation you would have to find out which of the DVI ports is the shared one..and then not use it. You can override the display/port (not sure if it's the display or port that gets overridden?) type: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1766513 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/271386-using-vga/#findComment-1766644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
