Mirroring display in System 7.6?
Posted by: Byte Knight on 2024-06-18 13:38:00
Is there a way to mirror your display in System 7.6? I'm trying to do this on my 6100 with built-in display port + AV card + two VGA monitors with converters but all I can do is extend the display. Holding option down brings up the little Mac that I can move back and forth which doesn't seem to do anything. Both monitors are set to 640 X 480 60 Hz.

It's a toggle in the "PowerBook Display" control panel usually...but on a 6100 you won't have that.

I seem to remember it's something like "hold the command key and drag one monitor on top of the other" in the Monitors control panel. Might be a different key

Yeah, I've tried Option, Control, Shift, and Open Apple without any luck...
