Yay! Looks like I'm the first respondent, and double yay, it works! (see pic; apologies for messy desk :-) ).
Left screen (rotated) is using the built-in Mini Displayport, centre screen is obviously the Mac itself (late 2009 27"), right screen (rotated) is connected via the DisplayLink, an HIS MultiView II. OS is 10.7.3. Thanks guys for all your hard work; I'll keep providing feedback on this version and keep testing any more alphas or betas as they come out. |

I installed the Alpha and it brought up the vertical monitor in rotated mode. But the resolution is off ... I'm only offered 1200x1920 on that display. My main monitor still has all resolutions available. I use 1680x1050 on the main and like to use 1050x1680 on the vertical, the 1200x1920 is pretty poor for text. These are both Acer monitors.
I also noticed that the monitors did not redrive after sleep. I had to turn them both off, open the MacBook to log in, then turn them on and close the MacBook. If you tell me what information you need and how to get it I'll be glad to post. |

Working for me on 10.7.3 with a rotated Dell 2209WA display connected via USB hub to a 2010 Macbook Pro Core i7.
Thanks for providing the alpha. EDIT: Trying to launch Adium while existing chat windows are on the rotated display crashes the app immediately. Last edited by qthatswho; 03-06-2012 at 08:31 PM. |
