Oh, the brand new one?
You need a DVI-Mini display port adapter like this:

Yes ... close ... but its specs say:

interface

Female
But:
My 9800 Pro is capable of
2048 x 1152 16 : 9
2048 x 1536 4 : 3
so the adapter falls short of what I currently can send.
The Apple Cinema Display is capable of "16:9 aspect ratio and an
astonishing 2560-by-1440 resolution" ...
Another earlier G3-G5 thread says the ATI Radeon 9600 and greater were
capable of something called DVI-DL (Dual-Link).
But where's an adapter for such? not yet?
