Mac Pro with out screen

Hi,


we've bought a Mac Pro at our office in order to render 3D images. This Mac Pro doesn't have a screen and is only used through screen sharing. The problem is that this Mac Pro keeps his screen resolution of 1280x1024 and there are no other option listed (except for 1024x768). I've searched on google and tried pressing the ALT button when clicking the scaled radio button but the list keeps being limited to 1280x1024 and 1024x768 while we're all working on 27" iMacs.


Is there an option to display more resolution options?



regards,

Gert-Jan

You need to get a dongle the plugs into the Mac's video output to get higher resolutions. If you use two dongles you can get two screens via screen sharing.
