Thank you Pete and Chris for your replies.
Last night I went to the ATI site to download and install any
updates. That didn't work so I mailed the list. After reading your
replies this morning I checked the adapter using my PB and it worked
fine so I restarted the G4 zapping PRAM 3 times. The G4 wouldn't get
past the apple startup screen.
Put in my Tiger DVD and it started fine and just for the heck of it
dragged the pointer from the flat panel to the 21" and you know what
happened. So I ran Disk Utilities and fix permissions found lots of
ATI files totally screwed. Ran it again and was clear. Restarted and
still hung on the startup screen so I am archiving saving personal
and network settings and reinstalling.
Will let the list know the result.

Well, Ive used a VGA monitor and a TV using the S Video cable. When
detecting displays, the 2nd monitor needs to be turned on. The
options box should
appear on the 2nd monitor for the 2nd monitor, not on your main
monitor. Also,
try turning mirroring on and off and see if that changes your results.

I have the same card in my sawtooth and the dvi port works fine
with a
dvi>vga adapter - I've also used it with two monitors without any
problems -
perhaps your adapter is faulty....

I have a radeon 9200 in my G4/DP500 and I've running a 21" monitor
off the RGB port quite well. I've put a 17" flat panel onto the DVI
port using a DVI/RGB adapter.
The computer doesn't detect the 2nd monitor attached to the DVI
port with the adapter, using either the Systems Pref's Display
panel or the ATI Display panel. I've tried swapping both monitors
and whichever one is directly connected to the RGB port is seen fine.
What am I doing wrong? What can I try?
Help as always is greatly appreciated.
