cscreen Developer NoteMirroring problem and testing - Version: 1.3, 10/28/2004 10:35AM PST

Well, I've ordered a nice shiny new PowerMac as well as a display. Before the tower gets here, I'll have my PB and an extra display and so should have a chance to play with the second display problem.

cscreen Reviewvery useful product and easy to use - Version: 1.3, 10/19/2004 12:46AM PST

this product is great. it totally helped me out with my Samsung DLP connection to my G4 Mac. While the 1280 x 720 via DVI looked great, once i turned off the TV and turned it back on, all I would get was a black screen.

i used cscreen and applescript to have it change the resolution to something, and then back again, and that would send a new video signal to the tv. worked great.

it does seem to have that mirroring issue, though.

Cscreen doesn't seem to be able to detect the presence of a second monitor when mirroring is switched on - is this a known problem? (G4 PB 500MHz, OSX.3.5, Mitsubishi diamond pro 700E second display)

Otherwise works as advertised.
