Hi everyone. I recently picked up a PPC based Mac Mini (my first Mac!) and even more recently a Dell 2405FPW lcd monitor to replace my old CRT.
Using the DVI-to-VGA adapter that came with the Mini I'm able to view the output at the full 1920x1200x60Hz resolution and many resolutions below that.
However, removing the DVI-to-VGA adapter and plugging directly into the monitor's DVI-D input results in a blank screen. Removing the DVI cable from the Mini puts the monitor into a self-test mode so it seems like the monitor senses the disconnect.
So, I'm now wondering if my monitor's DVI-D input is busted or if the digital output on the Mini is not functioning or somehow disabled? I'm not quite sure what to try next. Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks, Shawn
