So, I spent most of last week trying to get the needed cable to run dual monitors off of my Mac Mini. I originally bought another mini-DVI adapter, which is what came with my Mac Mini. So, I returned that and bought a mini-DisplayPort adapter. Upon plugging in the adapter nothing was recognized. I restarted a few times, then did some research online only to find that most people are running USB video adapters. Upon reading this I assumed that the Mac Mini didn’t support dual monitors natively. I planned on returning the cable, and in my laziness kept it plugged in. Today I was browsing through my “System Profiler” when I noticed that it registered two monitors. I quickly turned on my second monitor to find my Desktop image greeting me. Surprisingly enough my dual monitors were alive and well. I’m not at all sure what happened or why they suddenly decided to start working, but I’m glad they did.
