The User Guide for the Asus M4A78LT-M LE system board notes it has DVI-D

I'll buy a DVI cable at ENU and reconnect the monitor.

determine whether your video

Asus makes good boards for the AMD processors and the connector is there,
next to the VGA one.
BTW, I would expect a 6 ft DVI cable to cost less than $10.

A couple of quick questions about your Acer monitor..

indicator light did not come on or there was no display?
* Were there any symptoms prior to it dieing?

Hello everyone,
I am trying to help compile a list of LUGs in the Pacific Northwest. The
list will be used to help promote the annual Linuxfest NorthWest held each
April in Bellingham, WA.
If anyone knows of other LUGs around and has any contact info for them, I
would appreciate it if you
I would be interested in the bus, even if it were $100. Free is way better,
of course.

My best guess as to your sharpness issue is either a poor quality

Agreed, and I'd lay my money on the latter.

Rich,
No problem if you don't make it. You can either contact me or wait for the
next meeting (held every 2 weeks) to take a look at the monitor.
If you can give me the model number of the monitor and/or the voltage and
current rating of the power supply, I'll see if I have one for testing as I
am
