[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1290042, member: 56379"] Are you 100% sure you got an adapter with a "mini-display port" on it? Unless you have some sort of special video card...I do not believe any of the video cards that shipped with Powermac G5's had a mini-display port on them. As far as the "check signal" message...you either have to go to your TV's settings & change the "active" input port (the one from the computer)...or go into the Powermac G5's "System Preferences"...then open the "Displays" control panel...then check the settings there. You should probably also let us know what OS your Powermac G5 is running...since this is a 6+ year-old computer...the OS it's running may be on the older side. - Nick [/QUOTE]
