Well my dad's a TV repair man.

Just kidding. Actually he is an EE and does a lot of DSP work (for which
I've written a driver once) so your comments do interest me. Are you
suggesting that the wires and connectors may just be too thin or made out
of the wrong material and that creating a new connector between the laptop
dock-out port to DVI-D in on the Monitor might be sufficient resolve the
problem? I was under the impression it was a chip-output problem but
that's pure speculation on my part. I wonder if I could even buy that male
connector let alone identify it.

PS: I found out the full-blown Docking Station II only supports
low-profile PCI cards so that's out. So I'm basically wasting a 1600x1200
flat-panel (unless things get better with a DVI-A cable maybe).

Can't win'em all I guess,
Mike
