[CUBE] OT: Video; Things that make ya go hmmm...

[pep27 at mac.com]

Thanks Richard and Riba... Thought that's what it was...

Now I'm dealing with a different problem... I put the 8500 back in the 
Xserve and connected the 15" TFT to the ADC/DVI connector... Everything 
works EXCEPT the monitor picture!... USB is working because I have the 
keyboard connected to the monitor, and the eject key opens the CD-ROM 
drive just fine... Screen is totally black... Not even a flicker... 
Weird...

Could the settings for the 23" display still be in there, and that's 
what's confusing the monitor?... Guess I should have changed it to 
1024x768 BEFORE I switched monitors...

I thought the computer automatically sensed what kind of monitor you 
had hooked up... Perhaps the ADC/DVI converter is getting in the way of 
that?...

Arrrg!...
