[MacDV] Dual Monitor

[Roy Harker]

I'm not sure if this will be of any use to you or not. I run an older 
B&W G3 that came stock with an Xclaim VR card which was very unusual. I 
don't know the details of the difference between our cards. Is the 3D a 
PCI card? When I upgraded to 10.3 the drivers wouldn't work at all. I 
had to go through quite a song and dance to get it to work. And then on 
a couple of occasions I have had to start over again and relearn the 
steps to the dance. But I have learned a few things from it.

The card was recognized after 10.3.3, I believe. I have since purchased 
a new OSX package and it starts at 10.3.5. I should no longer have that 
problem.

Since it is a second monitor, did you upgrade to the latest OS (now OS 
X 10.3.6) before you tested the second monitor? If you didn't, there is 
the possibility that it could work now. Again, just a possibility.

I don't know if you are inclined to experiment or not but that is just 
the kind of thing that would make me try.

Hope this helps.
