I had been looking for a dual monitor solution for my mac mini. As everyone knows by now you just can't do it. Or can you?. I found an article on the DualHead2go from Matrox that claimed someone got it to work for the mini but the company says it is only support by pc. Well I just got the same set up working on my mac mini but only with the help of SwitchResX and the Author Stephane who replied to my emails quickly providing insight to what was happening and helped me to correct it. Thank you Stephane. I agree with one of the other comments here you need to know a little about your monitors and about resolution timing before you go setting your system to use timing it can't handle. Furthermore there is no need to bash a product you don't know how to use. My monitors could not handle above 76hz and the DualHead2go (not switchresx) was putting out 85hz on reboot. However because switchresx works so well I was able to vnc to my mini from another computer and select the new resolution that I had saved before rebooting. Now the system boots to the correct resolution every time unlike a another similar product I had read about where they had to create an apple script to reset the the resolution on boot.
