Clark, I don't see an options tab in the 10.4.11 Display Preferences and yes I'm using DVI-DVI.

View Sonic finally responded with a list of acceptable resolutions. 1600 x 1200 @ 60 Hz fills the screen but looks unacceptably stretched. VS sent me to their online driver download site, but no mac driver was listed The setup disc asked for one's OS, so presumably loaded the available driver. VS suggested I upgrade my videocard driver. The "ResEdit" option seems beyond my skill set. Anyway, I can live with the front and back doors until I can upgrade the Mini. In a couple of days I won't even notice them. The thing that will require far more adaptation is the tiny MenuBar font in the Finder MenuBar and in App MenuBars. Wandering around Google, I find others with the same, apparently unresolvable complaint. In most apps and browsers I can enlarge the Window fonts, but not the MenuBar Wonder if there's a hack for that? Maybe I'll have to become adept with the SwitchResX option afterall. I know there are customise-your-MenuBar apps but I don't see one that allows for Font size modification. And the really big problem is Quicken 2005, which does not seem to allow for Window Font size enlargements. I wonder if later versions do? Otherwise, I'm going to have to getcomputer eye glasses. Or it might even drive me back to my Dell 19". As always, everyone's kind attention and expert assistance is greatly appreciated.
