Anyway to give Intel Mini Dual Display Ouput?

[fh2level]

I need a new desktop and was going to get a new Mac Mini Intel just for now until I have money and the new Intel PowerMacs come out but I am really hooked on dual monitors and have two sitting here. Is there anyway to add a second display output onto a mini?

With a switch, but you will only be able to use one at a time.

It is using the integrated video, don't know if the chipset is capable of supporting dual monitors or not.

Basically a standard PC chipset, with a bunch of Mac I/O tagged to PCI/USB/etc. busses.

Yes, but it's for VGA-output only, and is a little bit expensive...

Would it be possible to plug in a dvi-vga adapter to the dvi port, and then a vga-splitter into the adapter? VGA-splitters are dirt cheap, is why I ask.

Probably, KVM sells a bunch of port sharing and port mirroring solutions.

It's when you want spanning that you'll run into more expensive solutions, driver/chipset issues.

I am guessing you would just end up with the same image on both monitors...You'll need something a little more sophisticated, like that matrox solutions.

Would this work on a Mac?


[edit] according to Engadget it does!
