Does anyone know how to setup the multimonitor options, so that I can play dual screen on my G5?

You were directed to the wrong board, m'friend...

Go here for the mac version web board (you'll find me there, too, i just don't know the answer to this particular one ;) )

Miah, I don't see this as necessarily the wrong board.  The Mac section here gets little traffic so I don't see why we can't dabble.  As for the original question.  Do you have a dual graphics card or 2 cards.  The Mac normally senses auto. if 2 monitors are plugged in, it will assign the one on the Apple card as 1 and the other as 2, this can be changed.  If you only have the in-built graphics card this is not ness. an dual supporting card just because it has 2 connectors.

Basically all you need to do is open a copy of uplink in each window then use one to start the server and then select connect on the other instance and you should have the multimonitor up and running.  :)

Erm, it doesn't get any more "English" than that. It can't actually be explained any easier...
