Is this just on Mac's? Also, will the age of the monitor make a difference? I ask, because both of my backup monitors, are older ones, not capable of anything above 1024x768, and I know I've ran into problems on PC's with them, where they freak out badly when a PC tries to push something on them that they can't handle. i.e., the PC didn't detect anything from them at all, and just tried to push the resolution on them as normal, and didn't detect that there was a problem with it.
