[QUOTE="Joe Jackson, post: 1557752, member: 317440"] [b]Mini displayport - VGA no signal[/b] Thank you for the initial feedback. I cannot quite see how it can be the cable. It is a passive adapter, and electrical connection seems to be solid. If I shake each end while it's working ok, there is no problem. It seems that through some evil magic, the Mac OS thinks that I don't want to have my signal output anymore and switches off. There has been some definite sign that keeping activity on the secondary screen, like moving the mouse around in it like wild, can help keep it on, but not always. [/QUOTE]
