I have two monitors on a PowerMac G4 (dual 500MHz): one is a Viewsonic on DVI, the other an Apple Studio 17" on ADC. Is it normal that I can’t adjust the brightness on the Apple monitor now? There’s no slider for it in the screen’s preferences, and pressing the button on the screen frame doesn’t bring up the usual dialog. Maybe I should mention that both monitors are connected to the same graphics card, a GeForce4 MX (AGP).
If this is indeed the common behaviour, my theory is that the OS (10.4.11) can’t get a handle on the Viewsonic’s brightness, and then disables the software control for both. But I think it’s strange, given that other settings can be adjusted for each screen separately. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
