My first guess would be that the system is attempting to use a scan rate that your monitor can't handle so it blanks out. What kind of Mac to VGA adapter do you have? Does it have any switches or dials on it? This may be telling the OS that your monitor is capable of higher resolutions than it really is. -- John Impellizzeri mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 1st-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
