Extern monitor on OS X

You need to disable display mirroring. With the kexts we have for our graphics, the external display (when mirroring) acts weird.

how do I disable display mirroring? when i plug in my monitor i can't see anything so i can't disable it?

Did you try using the hardware switch like Jaqie mentioned? Fn+F3, I think.

Fn+F3 is not working for me. the monitor shows only a gray background and i can't switch back.
more ideas?

Which install did you do? MSIWind or Boot 132?

i used MSIWindx86.iso to install and the guide from netbooktech.com (http://www.netbooktech.com/2008/10/13/g ... eapad-s10/)

What about your software updates? are you on 10.5.4, 10.5.5, or 10.5.6?

i have the same problem, can some one have way to solve this?

same boat
using msiwindx86 to install, upgrade to 10.5.6 when connect to external monitor either the screen is grey so all scramble up.

Boot up in safemode... this is how I resolved my tearing issues on my external monitor.

This is how I solve external display scrambled error in 10.5.6

1. plug in external display (your s10 screen will become scrambled)
2. hit Fn-F3 to toggle display one full cycle, until you're back at s10 display only. 3 times i think.
3. unplug crt cable, wait couple seconds
4. plug back in crt cable. You should now see both displays.

fix your settings. and enjoy.
DON't hit Fn-F3 combo UNLESS you're connected to crt external display. It just blacks out your screen on the s10.

u mean hold down the shift key as on a real mac? then what should i do after boot in safe mode? or i need to do it every time when i hook to a external monitor?
