I don't know if it makes a difference on a Mac, try having the monitor connected and turned on before turning the Mac on.

...and for my blood pressure!

I set up a Dell U2410 monitor and connected it to my MBP via the mini display port and DVI adapter. My Dell 2408 monitor at work does very nicely this way.

No dice. The monitor claims it's not getting a signal, but when I ask it to find a signal it says it's getting one through the DVI port. Clicking "detect displays" in System Prefs/Displays doesn't show me the Dell monitor, though.

Given a choice between a skunk run over by an 18-wheeler on a hot summer day and Dell customer service, I'll take the skunk.

Can anyone provide some advice?
