2 Monitors For 1 G5 Using Cubase Sx Options

[plasticmoonrain]

I'm reconfiguring my studio layout so I can have two monitors for my G5. Tired of flipping between screens on Cubase SX, so i figured I can have the mixer on one screen and the main screen on the other.

However, before I go to this trouble, how do I do it? How do I get two monitors on one graphic card? And how do I set up Cubase SX so I get different screen on each monitor?

THANKS.

Drew,
you should have 2 video monitor ports on the rear of your G5, one DVI Connector and one
Apple Display Connector, and both are on a single video card already installed in the G5;
all you have to do is connect a second compatible video monitor into the second video port
(the two video ports support different plugs, so before you buy the second monitor take note
of the free one);
once you have the 2 monitors connected in the G5, after the startup go to
System Preferences/Displays and click on the Arrangement tab,
here you can setup the second monitor to be on the desired position; also be sure to select
Extended Display instead of Mirroring, because Mirroring gives the same image in both monitors.
it's that simple.
