I was concerned but nevertheless gave it a try with two Apple Clineman
Displays (17" and 23"). On the 17" the power on button was lid and
pressing on it had no effect. The screen remained dark. On the 23"
display the power button was flashing, but otherwise I saw the same
(nothing). The Sun Ray was powered on. Typing on the keyboard did
nothing so it was no screen saver issue.
Did you power-cycle the Sun Ray after turning the monitor on? If
the monitor wasn't powered on when the Sun Ray started up then
the monitor would not have responded to DDC, which means that
the Sun Ray will be driving it at 640x480. It's possible that the
monitor just can't sync to that timing.
The Apple Cinema Display most likely cannot display VGA. However, whether the monitor was powered one is hard to say. There is not hard power on button, just an area where you touch the screen to power on the computer and thus the monitor. All I can say is that the monitor was connected to power and that the touch buttonhighlights when touched. I then poweren on the Sun Ray (also powercycled it a few times, but nothing happens. May be this is a chicken and egg probelm.
Any ideas? And again the question, has anybody ever mastered to get an
Apple Cinema Display to work with a Sun Ray? ASAIK the Sun Ray 1g has
DVI-A output. I would guess that this is the problem. May be DVI-D or
whatever is needed for the DVI-ADC-Adaptor to work.
The 1g has DVI-I, not DVI-A. DVI-I presents both DVI-D and DVI-A
signals on one connector. It's up to your cabling to pick up and
deliver whichever signals are appropriate for your monitor. For
instance, the DVI-I-to-VGA adapter that comes with the 1g picks up
the DVI-A signals and presents them on a VGA connector. A DVI-D
cable will pick up the DVI-D signals and ignore the DVI-A signals.
Thanks for the info. So I guess the DVI-ADC adaptor witll catch the DVI-D signal and pipe it to the ADC cable of the cinema display. However, I still can't see anything. The adaptor must be ok, it works betwenn a Mac with DVI-output and the ADV Apple Display.
Any more ideas?

Andreas
