Hi,

I have a Geforce 9400 GT using EFI string, I use my monitor in DVI out and sometimes I turn my TV on VGA out (to watch my movies in Plex media).

This solution works fine in Leopard, when I connect the VGA cable I choose Detect Monitor and Leopard detects my TV as a secondary display.

But in the Snow Leopard nothing happens when I click Detected Monitor, I need to restart the Snow for my TV be detected in the VGA output.

Anyone else have this problem, some tips?


ps.: sorry about the bad english

Hi,

I have a EFI string and is working the problem is when I connect other monitor in VGA out.

Works for you with 2 monitors?
