I just recently purchased a PB (15" 1.5ghz) and an apple DVI-to-ADC adapter to hook up to my 20" cinema display. This is the first time in ages that I've had a dual-head display setup, and I've forgotten if this is possible or not:

Can you have separate calibration settings for each display? I'd like to use SuperCal to create a customized calibration for my laptop and display, but when I try to change colour settings in the Montor prefpane, the OS just beeps and me.

I can change the colour setting of the primary display, but not the secondary. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Sorry, I just restarted and it's all working as expected. Now if only Desktop Manager supported dual monitors...

>Desktop Manager support

Yah its a bummer. I just switched back to codetek v desktop though since DM has a annoying bug that will also show the front most window (let's say you have lots of bbedit docs open) even though you clicked on one that was furthest back in the bbedit hierarchy.

too bad since DM is SOOO much faster then codetek's...
