Hi,

As there is no "detect displays' button in Mountain Lion in order to have VGA display working I have to restart. Is there any workaround for that?

__

EDIT:
It's still there, you just have to press command while in displays preferences.
 
My VGA is not working at all, Any one knows which kext is responsible for that ?

i don't think that vga out is natively supported in mountain lion so it would just be luck if it worked

It is not, we need a special kext for that, and i would like to know which kext is it :)
 
When using the kext's from the first probook v5 installer I have VGA out "working".

But I have to sleep and unsleep my 4730s before the external monitor is recognized.

Don't know wich kext exactly though, sorry.

But now in Mountain Lion, when I have a monitor on VGA-out I get major artifacts.

My VGA sort of worked but I had to add the attached kext to get it to work properly. Give it a try and let us know.

Hi!

I installed the kext which was attached to the last post but the VGA out is a no go for me. :( HDMI works fine. Under lion the VGA worked perfectly. I also have some graphical glitches but not very often and they are gone after closing the glitchy window. I need the VGA port, can somebody help me?

Did you try restarting your laptop with the VGA device connected? When I did that using the kexts now in tegezee's ProBook installer, I was able to get it to work. Supposedly you can hold down Alt/CMD while in Display Preferences and the "Detect Displays" will magically show up. Why the Apple folks made it hidden by default is beyond my comprehension.

P.S. It is the Windows key on our keyboards, which I guess in Mac-land is the Option key.
