Hello, I just got my MBP yesterday and now I'd like to hook it up to an external Eizo monitor. I am using a minidisplay port to DVI adapter, a USB mouse and USB keyboard.
I want to use the external monitor only, with the MBP screen switched off. But somehow I can only get the dual monitor mode to work, with both screens working side by side.
Here is what I do:
I plug in the USB keyboard and mouse to the MBP while it is running. Then I plug in the monitor and close the MBP. It goes to sleep and so does the external monitor. No way to wake it up. So I unplug everything, open the lid, waking the MBP. I close it again to make it fall asleep and then plug in the monitor, keyboard and mouse. Again, no way to wake it up by pressing a key or moving the mouse.
What am I doing wrong? Does this work at all with a USB keyboard and mouse or do I need Bluetooth?
