Most monitors, unless they are ancient, should be able to handle
1024x768 but not all frequencies. Depending on what flavor or OSX you
have there should either be refreshrates listed with the resolutions
(1024x768 60Hz for example) or as a separate Refresh Rate popup. I think
when I've had my laptop connected to a projector there were rates listed
up to 120Hz but most should handle 60Hz just fine. Also some monitors
take both VGA and DVI inputs and you might have to play with some on
screen controls to tell the monitor to use the analog VGA instead of DVI.
Hope this helps.

I have a 15 inch monitor comnnected with the vga addapter that I've had. It is
set at 1020-768. Should I try a lower reselosion to see if that helps.

How is your mini connected to the screen? Maybe the resolution/frequency
selected is not supported on that display so the display can't sync and gives
up.

Hi,
The problem I am having is that the screen will not stay on. I tried detected
displays and it is still off. I will keep messaing around with it and see what
happens.

Hmmm. In System Preferences> Displays at the very end of the dialog is a
button called Detect Displays. Try hitting that and maybe it will notice your
screen correctly.

I had it connected before I turned it on.

Best thing is to have the monitor connected before the Mac is powered on since
the detect process seems to happen at bootup. I think it might be a cold boot
thing so you might need to fully shut down, not just do a reboot.

Hi all,
I just connected a monitor to my mac mini and while my mac sees it there is
nothing showing on the screen. I know it works as it was tested. Is there
something I need to change in display settings? Thanks. Just wondering.
