Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 23, 2010 Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2010 I tried VGA output With the EDP and it worked as an extended monitor but when I selected Mirrored mode it corrupted both monitors and I can't get it back. Now when I unplug the VGA cable it clears up on the laptop, So how can you delete the display prefpane catch to at least have extended mode back. (You can't uncheck mirror mode because of garbled screen and only have access to that option when both screens connected but you cant see it to uncheck it.) It's a damn catch 22!... Maybe a script is in order here .. A little input Guys would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted December 23, 2010 Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2010 I have the same problem, mirror completely fucks up.. Have you tested with the new slice bootloader ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I sugest you all to have Remote Screen enabled so in case of screen failure You can log in remotely and change settings back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted December 23, 2010 Author Administrators Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yep this was with Slice bootloader and EDP 1.5rc4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoMo Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 How did you guys get VGA out working im on the latest RC release and every time i connect the VGA cable to my D430 the laptop monitor just turns black and nothing shows up on the external one. Theres no way for me to get the laptop monitor working until I restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 1, 2011 Author Administrators Share Posted January 1, 2011 Have you ever tried it before and turned on Mirroring? because Mirroring don't work yet it "corrupts" your video...Thats where I had the issue but it may also be dependent on the monitor.

Mariusz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I sugest you all to have Remote Screen enabled so in case of screen failure You can log in remotely and change settings back. But turns out this is not the case for this one The remote screen stays the same (screwed) Recovery worked by pressing Fn + F8 On the plus side I just found out that when your secondary display is in Rotation (tested on 90') the mirror works.

user786 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Any updates on this? I have snow leopard 10.6.6 working perfectly on my D620 with Intel Video and Dell 1390 wireless. The only issue I have is it is NOT working with VGA out and I need to use this connected to my external monitor. I have also tried connecting it to my Dell D/Port Port Replicator model PR01X and using the VGA out or DVI out on the port replicator and no luck there either. Any ideas, tips, suggestions, fixes anyone ? Ideally I would like it to work with the DVI out on my external Dell D/Port Port Replicator model PR01X. Thanks for any input... Here is what my port replicator looks like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
