Dual monitors - Unable to change screen refresh rate (which is stopping one of the monitors working). Please help?
Summery:
I'm trying to use two samsung monitors with a new Mac Pro.
Monitor A is connected via DVI-D cable to Mini display port adaptor and into the Mini display port.
Monitor B is connected via the standard VGA cable, to an adaptor and into the DVI slot.
When both are plugged in, Monitor B switches to secondary display (displaying the display setup etc), Monitor A does not work (signal problem).
I've come to the conclusion that this is because the refresh rate has changed from 60 to 75 hertz and Monitor A cannot handle this.
The problem is I cannot CHANGE this setting, because the monitor isn't working! The menu to change it would be up as soon as I plugged in the monitors (the menu becomes specific for each display). I'm fairly sure if I could change it to 60 hertz it would start working.
Any way to change the refresh rate for each monitor without them being plugged in / displaying?
Many thanks.
More detailed information:
Monitor A is more advanced then monitor B.
Monitor B only has a standard VGA connector, so I have that going into an adaptor and into the Mac Pro's standard DVI.
I USED to connect monitor A that way (and it worked fine) but as monitor B only has that option I had to change.
