Re: [ccp4bb] MacBookPro problems
Hi all, the problem for Zalman monitor to newer MACs etc. is : From Zalman ( j...@zalman.co.kr ) I got this Mail: I can provide the fix – a custom DVI cable specifically for the ZM-M220W. It resolves the issue of the swapped pins 15 16 of the ZM-M220W, which is not an issue with older graphic cards/GPUs(I infact use the DVI connection with my office PC that has an Nvidia GeForce 7600 card), but is an issue with newer / notebook GPUs. Basically, newer GPUs seem to have acquired a function that actively sends and receives a signal to and from the monitor to check if a connection is made, and if it does not get a return signal that it is looking for, the GPU’s output shuts down. With the ZM-M220W’s swapped pins 15 16, the newer GPUs don’t get the return signal and thinks that no monitor is connected and shuts the output off. On older GPUs, this function is not common and so the GPU outputs constantly without regarding for the pins 15 16. ...

Hi Jürgen, the Zalman is o.k. on a Nvidia 380. I just wrote an email to the vendor. Am 23.04.10 17:43, schrieb Jürgen Bosch: Yeah, send your Zalman vendor a nice email and let them exchange your DVI adapter. Had that problem too - alternatively you can scavenge one DVI adapter from another computer and test it. I wouldn't be surprised if it works, that's how I figured it out.

Re: [ccp4bb] MacBookPro problems
I'm using a MacbookPro with a Zalman monitor with a DVI to DVI connector (an older MBP with a DVI port), and it works fine with no problems - not much help to you though and altF works for me Phil On 23 Apr 2010, at 14:37, Joachim Reichelt wrote: Dear all, I just got a MacBookPro.
