Stupid question...

Is external display supported in BootCamp under windows on the MacBook? Can I have it running by itself or does it only mirror? or extend? or wha?

Any experiences would be great to hear

Thanks!

Wow, no one here has even tried it eh?

Guess I'll give it a go and report back to you guys

Yes, it works.

My friend had to do some futzing though until it finally worked. Nothing you wouldn't expect from Windows, though.

IIRC, you have to use the Apple-installed monitor control panel, rather than the standard panel.

What do I need to do to get my external display to work with windows on my macbook?

analogika · Oct 29, 2006, 01:24 AM

The $19 monitor adapter.

That is all.

I have the adaptor. It works fine using mac OS, but I can't get the external display to work while running windows on my macbook.

What can I do?

Since this is about using Windows with your Mac, why isn't it in the Alternative OS Forum? Moving to help out noobs...
