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
