I decided to try attaching my PC's monitor to my PB. Works fine on the
PC, up to 1600 x 1200. When I plug it in to the PB the screen comes on
but does not quite display properly (looks a bit like a TV with the
vertical hold gone). The displays preference pane detects the monitor
by name and shows all the right resolutions/frequencies, but none of
these selections work. Turning on mirroring also doesn't work.
There are adjustments on the monitor, but only for
colour/contrast/trapezoid, etc, and none of these make any difference
either.
I don't think the VGA port on the PB is duff because I am pretty sure I
have connected it to a projector without problems.
I read here -->http://paco.to/blog/000049.htm l about clearing out the
window server preferences but it seems a bit like bare-back riding to
me - any thoughts on doing this, anyone?
Any help much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
