Rob, I once had two monitors hooked to my mac. Each could display at different resolutions and even colors.
The second monitor was an extension of the first, meaning that if i moved my cursor to the right it would move from the left monitor to the right monitor. I set the right as the second, so the left displayed all the harddrives, popups and trash, whilst the second only displayed extra pallets and whatever icons i decided to move to the second screen. I'm guessing that the second monitor would be empty until you moved something to that screen area. I had two video cards, a Raedon 7500 and the default Twin Turbo. --- Rob Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks Alan and Will for the advice not to hook up > two monitors to the > Twin Turbo.
