quartz extreme works w/spanning+16MB VRAM
Authored by: video_guy on Jul 30, '03 04:55:58AM

zarqman, your concern is addressed towards the bottom of the following page:

I tried it and it works. When you get to the Resources folder (in the instructions below), do a Get Info (Apple - I) and change owner and permissions on all contents. Make yourself owner, with read and write privileges. Then modify Configuration.plist (drag it onto the TextEdit icon). When you're done with that, revert Resources' owner and permissions back.
What follows is from the website cited above:
----------------------------------------

After this patch Quartz Extreme will not be active while using two screens. This is the same problem as with the Powerbook G4 with 16 MB VRAM. You can fix this issue by changing the value of

GLCompositorMinimumVRAM

in the file

System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework /Versions/A/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework /Versions /A/Resources/Configuration.plist

from 16 to 8.
