Crazy Tech Genius Peoples with your canny off-the-cuff solutions,
wondering if any other VDMX users have encountered any similar trouble with the Matrox Triplehead2Go DP edition?
I'm having a dog of a time trying to get it to work.. on a 2010 MBP ( with latest Matrox software installed) -
When I go - mini display port to display port cable - to the display port input on the TH2GO DP, then DP out to a DP > VGA adaptor - no projector or monitor picks up any signal.
Have suspected DP to VGA as problem - but -
miniDP to DP >then to> DP-VGA adaptor = fine, signal works!
So it seems there's some kind of problem with the kind of signal being sent out of the TH2G0 which is incompatible with the DP to VGA cable/adapter.. Display port to VGA seems to need 'active adapters'.. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Compatibility_with_HDMI.2FDVI ).. so was thinking this might be the problem...
Has anyone else successfully used a TH2GO DP with VGA?
any advice / tips / science welcomed~!
