[QUOTE="no0neelse, post: 121346"] Hi, I just got an iMac G5 and boy do I love it! I've already got the span screen doctor hack goin, so I'm enjoying the dual screen set up. Now I'm wondering if there's an easy way to disable the second monitor, so that it isn't detected when I don't need it. I've tried turning on mirroring, but that just makes the iMac's screen crop to a 4:3 ratio. Leaving spanning on let's my mouse wonder off into the secondary display and some programs open on the second display, which can be confusing when my second monitor is off. So is there a simple way I'm missing to disable the 2nd monitor apart from unplugging the monitor or running the hack again to disable it? Thanks! edit: is there any forum that this topic would be more appropriate in? [/QUOTE]
