Annoying mac pro screen issue w. dual / triple display setup
Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 12:50 pm
I have a mac pro w. 3 monitor setup, using modul 8 2.5.6.
I have video projector connected to my new mac pro, but have very strange bug - I'm trying to move the output window to video projector screen, but it refuses to go. It just sticks to the border of other monitor.
I can move the window to any other of my 3 monitors, and I can move any other window and mouse pointer to projector screen but not the output window. Same problem with only 2 monitors connected to the system. Only way to get it working is to disconnect two monitors. It's but of a bummer when I just got this new system and invested to these monitors, thinking, fck yeaaah!, 3 monitors plus projector, how good is that! and then it refuses to work.... ugh.
