I've had my MDD 2x1GHz FW400 (64MB video) packed away while I've been moving things around, in the meantime I've sold the Sony 19" monitor I used with the Mac.
Now I went to use it to retrieve some files, grabbed the first monitor to hand, a 15" Sony (all CRTs) but it was "out of scan range", and I automatically presumed that the previously used resolution was too high so I switched to my Formac 20" (Trinitron too) but that won't show anything either. This monitor does not show a message but it is older.
The Mac starts up fine and I can switch it off with Power Key-Return so it's starting up fine, but no video...
Any ideas ???
Is there any way in which to force the resolution down, though I would have thought that it would sense the monitor and lower it automatically.
I have tried starting from the OS X CD without joy.
HELP!!!

Yeah, me too. Here's my untouched post from two days ago: - - - - - Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2005 15:15:21 -0500 From: MikeRF/A2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Monitor: "Attention Out Of Range"
Attention Out Of Range H: 79.9 KHz V: 74.9 Hz
I saw this message over a black screen on an older Envision monitor with VGA adapter connected to a friend's Rev B Beige desktop after we attached a SCSI drive loaded with OS X 10.2.6 to the internal SCSI bus and attempted to boot from it. Previously the system had been running only OS 8.6 from an 80 GB IDE drive from the internal IDE/ATA bus. The internal SCSI bus had not been used except for a SCSI zip attached to the DB 25 external connector. I installed a 50 pin internal ribbon cable to the SCSI connector on the mobo to connect the drive.
PRAM zaps and CUDA reset did nothing. Still got the same monitor message.
When we tried to boot back to the ATA 8.6 drive the system froze (of course) and when we tried to boot from a OS 9.2.2 install CD the system said the CD was unreadable. Boots fine on two other beige MTs? Eventually the 8.6 drive booted again.
This system rejected this SCSI drive with 10.2.6 like a bad kidney. Boots fine on the internal SCSI of my beige MT? (Now, from controller cards... that's a different sad story you've all heard).
I recall a post regarding a similar message a few weeks back but could not find it. How do you get past this? For all I know we may have eventually been able to boot the SCSI drive had we been able to see what was going on.
