We just covered this on Mac Daniel earlier this week. The "Sawtooth" Power Mac G4 apparently was designed before anyone came up with the idea of providing monitor power via the video card, thus it doesn't support it. Apple's 20" Cinema Display is designed to be powered from the video card. Unless Apple makes some sort of power supply for the monitor, you won't be able to use it with a first generation Power Mac G4. -- Dan Knight, president, Cobweb Publishing, Inc. <http://cobwebpublishing.com> <http://lowendmac.com> <http://digital-views.com> <http://digigraphica.com> <http://lowendpc.com> <http://reformed.net> Computers are like air conditioners; they don't work when you open windows. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
