[QUOTE="sacul, post: 877607, member: 111938"] Hi, I'm having a similiar problem with trying to use an extended/second monitor. The firmware update says it's for OS X 10.5.6 and I'm on an older Macbook running 10.4.11 so I don't think that can help me. Anyway, here's what's going on. I'm trying to connect my Macbook to a Hyundai Imagequest L90D+ LCD monitor. The connection is VGA from the monitor to the VGA-to-Mini-DVI adapter to the Macbook. I know the hookup is fine because I tried this same setup with my ancient CRT monitor and it worked great (naturally...). When I connect it here I get what looks like moving horizontal lines all over the screen. I went out earlier for a while and came home and tried it again and the picture was clear for about 2 minutes but then the lines came back. Just now I turned it off for 5 minutes and same thing pretty much except the lines came back much faster. If I turn the monitor on without being hooked up, there's a blue screen and a "no signal" message the moves around but no lines (in other words, everything looks fine with the monitor picture itself). Any ideas, any fixes? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
