Jeff, Thanks for your input. This sounds exactly like what I am currently experiencing, so I am grateful for any help that you have to offer.
I bought the PC version PowerColor Multi-Display Edition Radeon 7000 Evil Wizard :) I flashed it according to the instructions that were posted to this site: http://aex.org/mac/7000.html Like I pointed out earlier, sometimes I needed to invoke command+option+p+r to get the monitor to be detected. Probably just a coincidence. I have a ViewSonic E90f 19 inch monitor attached to the S900. It powers up the monitor 50% of the time in OS9, but has never detected the monitor in OS X. What exactly should I do to try to work around this? Do you think a DVI->VGA adapter might do the trick? Thanks in advance.
