Re: dual monitors - G5

2007-01-22 by john dean

Today I set up an Apple 23" LCD display into my 1.8 dual G5. I
calibrated it nicely with my Spyder2Pro. Now I just plugged in my
Lacie Blue Eye 19" monitor to use as a second monitor. I tried to
calibrate it with both the Spyder 2 and the Lacie calibrator. Nothing
works. I can't get any red content really, this second monitor is flat
and dull and the color and luminance won't calibrate. 

Is there anyway I use this G5 with dual calibrated monitors if one is
an LCD and One a CRT? Actually I wasn't able to calibrate two CRTs
with it either either. Strange my old grey G4 did just fine. Would it
work if I put a second LCD in the other slot? 

Or, is it necessary to go out and buy another graphics card for the
other monitor? When I go to the Apple systems profiler and look for
the graphics card I only find the GForce FX5200 in Slot 1.
