Two Monitors...can they be switched? - The UnDoug - 02-26-2007

Hi,

I've got two monitors hooked up to my MDD 867: a 19" LCD on the DVI port and a 15" LCD on the ADC port. Both ports are on the built-in (stock) video card.

They both work, but the ADC one (the 15") is the one with the hard disks and dock, etc. I can't find a way to switch them. Does the ADC default to the "main" monitor or something?

Thanks.

Just got my question answered in almost real time at the Hotline server:

"C(-)ris: go to display preferences, then go to arangement, drag the menu bar from the top to the other screen."


It worked like a charm...

why didn't I think of that. It even says to do so in the Display prefs. window!

Drag and drop. Apple takes it to the extreme.


Sometimes the solution is too simple to be obvious. Apple really does a nice job creating an operating system.
