I've used a DVI-HDMI cable both from a couple of MacBook Pros and from a G4 Mac Mini. The latter has a Radeon 9200 as the built in video (I believe it is). In both cases it worked right off with our Philips TV. It does take a while for the TV and computer to negotiate the screen size and such but it's no more than 20 seconds. I agree it could be the wrong video mode and using VNC is the way to check it. If you have a Leopard machine (besides the one in question) a VNC client is built in. The VNC server is built in to recent OSX versions and is activated in the Sharing System Preference. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
