Hi folks, I have a '2014 build' Mac Pro Hackintosh and am experiencing problems trying to get two monitors to work.
I have always used 1 monitor, but have recently acquired some spare monitors and have decided to see if I can use one as a 2nd monitor for my Hackintosh.
I have just connected the 2nd monitor via VGA (the main monitor uses DVI), but I cannot seem to get it working, despite following this guide:
... I have unchecked "Displays have separate spaces" in Mission Control.
When I tried to boot it up with both monitors connected, I saw the Gibabyte logo flash up on the 2nd monitor, but it wasn't stable. It would show the logo, then some white text, and then go black, and then repeat this process over and over... until I unplugged the VGA connecting the 2nd monitor... and then it would boot up normally on the 1st monitor only.
... This happened both before and after I followed the steps in the above guide. Also, I did try both a log out and a restart after following the guide.
Looking in System Pref. I can't see an option in 'Displays' to activate/use the 2nd monitor.
Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks for reading

If you use OS X Mavericks with multiple displays, you may have noticed a change in the system's behavior since you upgraded: You now get docks and menus in each window. But there's a drawback: you can
