Hi folks,

I just got a new Mac Pro (NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card; Apple Cinema LCD display primary) and wonder if I can hook up the big ol' CRT monitor from a now-defunct SGI as my 2nd display. The monitor in question is a 21" SGI/Sony GDM-5411. I have to use two adaptors to attach it (Sun to VGA and VGA to DVI), but that's fine. When I attach and power up, the monitor is black except for this information:

Monitor is working
Input 1: 37.7 kHz/300 Hz
Out of scan range
Change signal timing

Has anyone been able to make this work? Can't find any mention of how to proceed, but that could just be Friday afternoon stupidity...

Cheers,

Pat Loll
