Most of the past year I've spent at a client location with my 2400 connected to an external monitor and keyboard. The monitor they gave me was a 17 gateway thing. Perfectly ok. BUT when it was plugged into my 2400 and you hit the monitor control strip, the first line correctly displayed the model and number of the monitor! I understand that the reason Apples monitor connectors are larger than standard VGA connectors is because they contain "sense pins" that allow the Mac to know what resolutions the monitor supports. But in this case there is only a standard VGA connector with none of that voodoo, and Gateway sure doesn't support apple sense technology. How in heck does my 2400 know the model number of the monitor it was connected to?
