HD3000 and dual monitors. All I have is mirrored.

[CptanPanic]

I have dual monitors connected to my GA-Z68A-D3H-B3, with 2500k, to VGA and DVI. But instead of dual monitors I have the same thing on both. MacOS only acknowledges the monitor connected to DVI. I am using the new chimera. What can I do to get dual monitors working?
Thanks,
CP

Normally you only need to uncheck the "mirror" checkbox in the Displays section in the System Preferences

Have you found a solution?

Nope, have you experienced the same thing? The dual monitors works fine if I dual-boot to windows so it is not hardware. Anything I can try?

No, but I'm thinking of buying a Sandy Bridge system and I'm trying to figure out whether I need an additional graphics card or not.

Your best bet is to get a HDMI -> DVI cable. Much cheaper than a dedicated graphics card ;-)

Have you found how to get the Dual Display working with HD 3000? How?

I was able to get this working by buying a HDMI to DVI adapter, so I have my 2 monitors on DVI and HDMI ports.
