[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1183559, member: 24160"] Do you have a mini-DVI or mini displayport? These are not the same thing and the two terms are not interchangeable. If this is the mini displayport to VGA adapter from Apple, while you have it connected to the TV and TV turned on - head for Software Update - Apple released a firmware update a long time ago for this adapter, so if you got an older version, this may solve the issue. Disregard the above if it is a mini-DVI to VGA adapter. And move the front window of Displays preferences. I have seen the preference window for the 2nd display be hiding behind it. [/QUOTE]
