Video Out iMac G5

Keith · Post by **Keith** » Sun Dec 18, 2005 7:25 pm

When reading through the Maxi guide it states you can toggle the external video to output full screen on the external monitor while having the small window on the main screen. I am using a G-5 with an S-cable connected directly to an HD-Monitor. When I connect the cable the monitor automaticly re-sizes (kind of large) and the only way to get full screen is to go full screen on the computer monitor. This makes it imposible to control the application without everyone seeing what you are doing. Is there some software I can get to fix this? Any thoughts suggestions?

Thanks

In fact, you should use your video output as a second monitor, not as a main monitor mirror .

somewhere in system preferences you can choose where your 2nd screen

is located: main screen, left/right/under... the main screen

then you should be able to drag the mspinky output window to your 2nd screen and then you can just go fullscreen there.
