mac mini g4 dvi
« on: October 09, 2011, 03:17:28 AM »
Hi...

Anyone use a mac mini g4 connected to a dvi monitor? I just get a black screen, monitor is dvi-d and mac mini is dvi-i (i think).

I use a Dell 2209WA connected digitally to may Mac mini G4, cable is the included DVI-I duallink cable of that monitor.


A dvi-i dual link cant plug physically into my dvi-d monitor, my test are with a normal dvi-d cable.
