I've got it connected through the mini Display Port through VGA to a 22" flatscreen.

For some reason it does not want to display anything on screen, though I have no idea how to force it to display anything, or if my monitor is to blame.

I use the same mini-DP to VGA adapter on my MacBook and it has no issues.

Did you reboot the Mac-Mini after connecting everything up? If not...sometimes this straightens things out.

Ah.

I've disconnected everything, and reconnected, then flipped around the sources on the monitor. Everything came back. Thanks!
