cd_david Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 Hi I have a G5 Power Pc version and 2 neovo f417 monitors. Now I've used these monitors in a dual configuration on an old G4 with no issues. I if both plug one or both into this g5 I get only 1 resolution choice??? I've downloaded resolution managers, re installed the OS but nothing. Got me baffled, anyone? Thanks Dave Quote
BigRedX Posted June 8, 2013 Posted June 8, 2013 What's the spec of the graphics card? You might have run out of VRAM if you are trying to run both monitors at very high resolutions. Try reducing the resolution of one and see if it will allow you to increase the resolution of the other. What happens when you switch to mirroring rather than extended desktop? Quote
cd_david Posted June 8, 2013 Author Posted June 8, 2013 Even if I plug one in by itself there is only the one resolution, I used exactly the same 2 monitors on a G4 without any issues. Graphics card as far as I can remember is an ATI radeon. Thanks Dave Quote
BigRedX Posted June 9, 2013 Posted June 9, 2013 What version of Mac OS are you running? Might be worth trying the one that came with the Mac originally. Quote
borisbrain Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Try this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573#4 Certain additional resolutions may appear when you hold down the 'option' key whilst in the display pane of the Display menu in System Preferences. Bestaluck, BB Quote
