Hey,
I just bought a new Mac Mini, the base model 2.0Ghz, 120GB but with a 4GB memory upgrade.
Not really the point of this topic, but: it rocks!
Fast, reliable and perfect as my new Media Centre / Backup system when my MacBook Pro is busy rendering some models for school.
The dual display output makes it easy to connect the Mini to both my TV and the Display on my desk.
The mini is sitting in a closet together with all my other Media peripherals, but I've run into a small annoyance:
There seems to be no way to turn off one of the video outputs.
It's continuously sending the image through both outputs and I've noticed that, when I unplug either the miniDVI or miniDisplayport graphics go a little bit smoother when playing fullHD material.
(I've put the displays on mirroring)
Since I'm not really planning on going to my Mini and unplugging/replugging the necessary adapter each time I'd like to switch between TV and monitor, I wonder:
Is their a terminal commando / plug-in / whatever which allows me to control the videooutput?
In a perfect world it would be something like this:
![]()
![]()
But I guess it won't be that easy
