The Belkin F3H1381 monitor adaptor will take care of
that. Unfortunately it costs about $50. :P Sure
works nice on this Beige G3 running a Hansol 701P 17"
at 1024x768. :) If one mode setting doesn't work try
one of the other options for that resolution. Has at
least two for each resolution, fixed or multiscan.
The cheaper way is to get a non-switchable adapter
specifically for your Mac and monitor combination.
