If you bought the adapter in order to use it with an Apple ADC  
display monitor, you may have some connection problems.

I bought such an adapter from the San Francisco Apple Store last year  
after a "Mac Genius" there told me that it would allow me to use my  
old 17" ADC display with my G5. WRONG, wrong, and wrong again,  
Buckwheat!!

The device would not work with the ADC display because it could not  
provide the electrical power connection to the display as the  
original connector did from a G4 ADC socket. Ultimately, I had to  
take the adapter back to Apple to get a refund of my money.

I don't have any of the paperwork that came with the adapter any more  
and I don't remember which model adapter I had tried. Just a warning  
that there may be problems with your purchase.
