Hi All
I recently replaced the 15" CRT running from my Sapphire Atlantic 9600
256m with a second hand Dell 17" TFT (1702FP).
When I first turned it on I saw no video (no BIOS / boot etc) and as
I was about to check the VGA lead was plugged in the XP login box
popped up?
Thinking it was something that had 'sorted itself out' I rebooted and
saw the exact same thing?
I have a manual KVM switch in the system but that seems to be working
(and it's not easy to pull it all out to bypass it for a 'quick test')
as another TFT works ok in the same configuration on this same PC?
(Also if I switch the KVM to another position the Dell TFT goes into
'self test' display as it would with the video lead dissconnected).
I have looked at the ATI display settings and yesterday even managed
to lock myself out of the machine playing with the 'Primary display'
(long shot).
What have I missed please ... ? ;-(
All the best ..

p.s. I am waiting on a mate to get me a DVI cable to do further tests
... is there a particular pinout for this combination or will any
DVD-DVI cable work please?
