archer75 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 My video card is a ATI 1900xtx. It has 2 DVI ports on it and I have two monitors, a Dell and Gateway. I am running the 10.4.8 JAS. If I have the Dell plugged into the right port and the gateway to the left it will only display on the gateway but it shows as a dell monitor in the display settings and I can only use a few resolutions. If I have the gateway plugged into the right port and the Dell to the left it will only display on the dell but it shows as a gateway monitor in the display settings. If I only have mone monitor plugged it nothing displays at all. What I want is to display on the gateway monitor using a resolution of 1920x1200. How can I get it to display a resolution that is not in the list in the display preferences?

Guest Ramm Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Does OSXX86 even work with dual monitors period? I think you would need some type of drivers, if that worked at all.

macgirl Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yes OSX86 with Natit is working with Dual Displays but not for all cards. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/42149-display-problems/#findComment-301292 Share on other sites More sharing options...
archer75 Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 I think you are missing my point. I don't need to use dual displays at all. The problem is that it thinks the monitor I am using is the other monitor that is plugged into my card but not being used. No matter how I switch the cables. So I am using my gateway now but it thinks it's my dell, which is turned off. And I cannot get the resolution to 1920x1200 which my gateway supports but my dell does not.
