In our kitchen I have a G5 running a 20" monitor and a 22" Vizio TV that acts as a second monitor when needed. Does anyone know how to assign the playback in Front Row to the secondary monitor (TV) so I can still keep working on the other? I can do this with DVD Player but I can't seem to get it to work with Front Row.

Thanks!

I think Front Row only works on the primary monitor (i.e. the one with the menu bar). So you'd have to use the Display System Preference Pane to change it. I'd be ecstatic if someone had different information.

See if this helps

Thanks!

I have the G5 right before the intel macs and my video card can only mirror the image. This means that the same image on your main screen is on your second screen as well. There is no way to have separate images, at least as far as I know.

Super simple hack to enable dual displays on the G5 iMacs. Google is your friend!

There's no reason to be coy. What you want, thirsty ear, is something called the Screen Spanning Doctor:

The video card can handle dual display just fine, you just have to un-do Apple's attempt to cripple and differentiate their product line. I used it a long time ago with an iBook, no idea where this stands with Leopard.

I wasn't being coy, I just couldn't remember the name off the top of my head, and didn't have time to look. :)

That's the one, though. Worked fine on my G5 under Leopard (until the logic board gave out and they wanted $100 less than a refurb Core2duo iMac to replace it... buh-bye!).

My 1st Gen iMac G5, with it's pathetic hardware, worked just fine pushing the built-in display plus an HDTV as a secondary non-mirrored display. (Except for stuff it was simply under-powered to handle, of course, like 720p MKV files.)
