On the same graphics card/device? Some devices will only run x number of cards and if you are over x the new displays will just never show. If there are only 2 total then it should be ok. Do you get a post screen and have you tried a live CD to see if they show? On Aug 26, 2014 8:20 PM, "Michael Ha

The basic rule is if you don't use a service uninstall it. If you use it and don't want others having their way with it firewall it. If you have a gateway device that would be a firewall. On Aug 26, 2014 8:15 PM, "Michael Havens" wrote: > I hear people say, "Even Linux users need a firewall." > M

I hear people say, "Even Linux users need a firewall." My question is. why? I've runlinux since '98 w/o a firewall (aside from the one sent with my modem/router). Isn't that good enough? :-)~MIKE~(-: --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@li

I don't know. The plug coming out of the monitors is VGA so I would think it would just be like a regular monitor. Oh maybe I should mention that crt monitors work and that these flat screens are replacements for working CRTs. :-)~MIKE~(-: On Tue, Aug 26, 2014 at 2:07 PM, IscreamKid wrote:

Or, perhaps the output you are using on CPU box is set to other than the one you are using. Nerve systems sometimes can't output analog VGA and digital at the same time. Harold > On Aug 26, 2014, at 11:38, Brian Cluff wrote: > > Is there more than one input (vga, dvi, hdmi). Perhaps you have

Is there more than one input (vga, dvi, hdmi). Perhaps you have the wrong input selected and you simply need to select the correct input. Brian On 08/26/2014 11:29 AM, Michael Havens wrote: I got a couple of little flat screen monitors and I plug them in and turn them on and they say, "No sig
