    1/
    Can I use the Matrox DualHead2Go Digital with my Macbook Pro 17'' creating an extented desktop across two 22'' displays both with 1680 x 1050 resolution and Digital as well as Analog inputs.
    According to the specifictions on Matrox' homepage (Supported Resolutions) the resolution 3360 x 1050 (2 x 1680 x 1050) is only available on Windows. On the compatibility list the MAXIMUM resolution for Macbook Pro is set to 3840 x 1200 (2 x 1920 x 1200). Does that mean that anything below that is supported?

    2/
    The DualHead2Go Digital has a VGA input, but the Macbook Pro has DVI-I out. Is that a problem at all, or do I simply need to buy a DVI to VGA cabel?
