Amethyst Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I connect my 20" Apple Cinema Display with my computer by DVI port (with GMA900 and SIIG DVI-ADD2N Cards). After I turn on the power and wait for my computer boots OSX, my display doesn't work, it only show blink "_" On the other hand, I connect my computer with 17" Phillips Display by VGA port. After I turn on the power and wait for my computer boots OSX, my display work (it's show OSX screen). Now, this time I let my computer boots OSX, and show the osx screen. Afer that, I take out my 17" Phillips Display that connect by VGA port, I connect 20" Apple Cinema Display by DVI port again. This time it works. and get optimum resolution (1680 x 1050) The question is How can I make my 20" Apple Cinema Display work if I connect it before I turn on my computer? because I don't want to connect 17" Phillips and wait until it's show osx screen , then take 17" Phillips out and connect 20" Apple Cinema Display every time I use it. Thank you very much my configurations: Intel Pentium 4 630 3.0Ghz MSI 915G Combo-FR Intel GMA 900 Onboard SIIG Orion DVI-ADD2 N Cards Dual Channel DDRII 2*1 GB Apple Cinema Display 20" Mac OSX 10.4.5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/13402-help-me-plz-about-dvi-add2-and-acd20/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
