ryale138 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hey, new to the mac os x86 community. Gotta say I love it. My problem is as follows... I have a dual monitor setup. Can't really get by without it. I have Windows Vista, SuSe 10.2, and Mac OS X installed on the machine, I have dual monitors configured in Windows and Linux (I have hand editted my Xorg.conf in the past with SuSe 10.0 and a MATROX card), but I cannot find anywhere how to do the same in Mac OS X. I am perfectly comfortable hand editting my com.apple.Boot.plist if needed, just looking for some pointers in the right direction. Thanks again guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46524-dual-monitor-support/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryale138 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Wow, no help offered. Just an update, I am trying to get it working, but still have made minimal to no progress. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46524-dual-monitor-support/#findComment-334506 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbeil Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 same issue here. OSX86 10.4.9 installed finally and network as well as sound work right out of the box, just the second monitor is invisible. I assume the guys who wrote the monitor driver for the Intel 950 never enjoyed a dual monitor setup. Too bad Harti Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46524-dual-monitor-support/#findComment-415449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Probably the reason for not much help here is nobody is offering any info about what video cards they have or any other system info. Makes it really difficult to suggest a fix. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/46524-dual-monitor-support/#findComment-415538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbeil Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 True . No information, no help. I installed the 10.4.9 pretty smooth on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro Laptop. That one sports an Intel 945/950 chipset. It has an external video connector that is DVI. That Video part is a Intel 945GM . ( Tht it says on the Wintel side) So Networking is ok. even Bluetooth starts working, but the extrenal monitor is not "seen" , when looking into the System info I get this: Intel GMA 950: Chipset Model: GMA 950 Type: Display Bus: Built-In VRAM (Total): 64 MB of shared system memory Vendor: Intel (0x8086) Device ID: 0x27a2 Revision ID: 0x0003 Displays: Display: Resolution: 1280 x 800 Depth: 32-bit Color Built-In: Yes Core Image: Supported Main Display: Yes Mirror: Off Online: Yes Quartz Extreme: Supported Display: Status: No display connected Well, the display is connected. The Monitor driver just does not know about it, does not work, is maybe not the right one? Any help on where to check, which route to go would be apreciated.
