No beep, cursor, text, splash, nothing. I turn the computer on, and the screen remains black as if there is no signal to it. If I have another computer connected on the VGA port, I can toggle back and forth between analog and digital, with a perfect diplay on the VGA input, and no signal on the DVI input. If I connect my Macbook to the DVI input, I'll be able to toggle between both inputs and both work. -- Greg Rundlett Web Developer - Initiative in Innovative Computing http://iic.harvard.edu camb 617-384-5872 nbpt 978-225-8302 m. 978-764-4424 -skype/aim/irc/twitter freephile http://profiles.aim.com/freephile
