Hello all,
I'm using a G4 Power PC "Silver Door" Mac with a DVI hook-up and my old Dell monitor is dying. I have a replacement Dell E173FPc that only has a VGA hook-up that I hope to use.
My problem is I bought a DVI to VGA adapter and tried to hook-up the Dell to my Mac and all I get is a "sleep mode. move mouse or type any key" notice. When I type or move the mouse nothing happens. I can't wake the screen up.
Does this mean my Mac won't recognize the Dell? The video card isn't able to do the DVI-VGA recognition?
Or what?
Appreciate the help as I can't afford another monitor at the moment.
