I got the same trouble and got it fixed: Contact Zalman e.g. at [email protected]
I got this answer: Dear Joachim, I apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry. I was away on multiple business trips abroad, and was terribly occupied. I can provide the fix – a custom DVI cable specifically for the ZM-M220W. It resolves the issue of the swapped pins 15 &16 of the ZM-M220W, which is not an issue with older graphic cards/GPUs(I infact use the DVI connection with my office PC that has an Nvidia GeForce 7600 card), but is an issue with newer / notebook GPUs. Basically, newer GPUs seem to have acquired a function that actively sends and receives a signal to and from the monitor to check if a connection is made, and if it does not get a return signal that it is looking for, the GPU’s output shuts down. With the ZM-M220W’s swapped pins 15 & 16, the newer GPUs don’t get the return signal and thinks that no monitor is connected and shuts the output off. On older GPUs, this function is not common and so the GPU outputs constantly without regarding for the pins 15 & 16. Okay, so please fill out the following FedEx Air Waybill template and send it to me, and I will have this custom DVI cable sent to you.
