rudeboymcc Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hi. I just installed Kalyway 10.5.1 on my vaio (which has intel integrated video). all i'm trying to do is use the laptop with my external display and usb mouse and keyboard (i.e. the external display is the primary one and only one). apple's website says to close hte lid of the computer, wait for it to sleep, then wake it up with the usb keyboard and the external display will become primary. only mine doesn't sleep when you close the lid (and i haven't found a way to do it). the closest i've come to it was mirroring the external display, but that only shows 1200x800 (laptop resolution) on my 1200 x 1024 monitor. anyone have any idea?

rudeboymcc Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 ok no worries i found a workaround. in the display preferences, under display arrangment, you can actually move the white bar from screen to screen, effectively changing your primary monitor. OSX is a bit annoying in that a lot of features are not that obvious, and i consider myself an experienced user.
