[comp.sys.mac.hardware] IIci displays

jeff@jeff.esd.sgi.com (Jeff Mock) (09/11/90)

I have a IIci with a radius TPD.  I always use the TPD and occasionally
use the internal video of the IIci.  When I plug in a color monitor and
reboot, the internal color display is always display 1 (the one with 
the menu bar) and the TPD is display two.

Is there any way I can make the IIci's internal video be display 2 (no menu
bar) and the TPD display 1 (menu bar)?

Sure!  Just go into the control panel (Desk Accessory), find the Monitors
icon and click on it, then click and drag the menubar from the color display
over to the Radius TPD.  This way, the menubar should always be on the TPD,
whether or not the color is plugged in.  If you want the startup screen (if
you have one) and the startup INIT icons to also appear on the TPD, then
while holding the option key down, drag the little smiley-Mac icon from the
color display over to the TPD.  Close the control panel and re-boot, and all
should be just fine.

Basically, the displays are numbered starting with on-board video and
continuing through the slots, left to right.  However, through the Monitors
control panel device, you can have the menubar appear on any display.
