hi everyone, hope you are not too busy and you wont mind helping me out.
i have got a 15" MBP with the 8600m GT card. The screen support 1440-900 resolution.
My housemate has a 32" TV display with supported resolution of only 1024-768
i got the cables needed to connect my MBP to the display.
my questions are
1- my point was to connect the dispaly so that something separate can be done in the TV display like watching a DVD in full screen mode. However, once i push something to full screen in the TV screen, the MBP screen goes dark. i dont want that. Can i have it full screen there, but i still can work on the MBP screen in normal mode.
2- i have spaces enabled. I cant have the MBP displaying a space while the TV display displaying a nother space. i.e. if i change space in the MBP, it changes in the TV display. is there anyway to have the TV display doing one space and when i want to change my space in the MBP it doesnt change in the TV display.
point 1 and 2 are different by they are almost the same thing. in short words, if i do something in the MBP screen it happens there, spaces, expose,
i want to separate them.
3- closed screen mode, how do i do it. i mean, i want to close my MBP screen and then watch something in the TV display.
these are quick questions. i do feel the answer will be "you cant do it" for the first two questions.
however, i will get through this.
thanks
