I have a 400 Hz Gigabit Ethernet G4, running OSX 10.3.9, with the ATI rage 128 pro agp 2x graphics card ( ADC and VGA).
Just got an Apple Cinema Display 20" DVI and bought the Belkin ADC to DVI and plugged it in, but what happens is this:
The machine boots and the apple shows and the wheel starts spinning, then the screen turns black, and nothing else happens. The machine sounds like it boots all the way. When i start in single user mode the screen works fine so i suspect that it has something to do with the OSX, or perhaps differing resolutions between the card and the display? Vga displays fine on this graphics card but my screen is so old and blurry it drives my eyes crazy! The Cinema display works perfect with other newer macs.
Does anyone have have any idea why this is? Apple states here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58692 that this combo is supposed to be possible..

a bit of advice.... try setting the resolution down before connecting the new display... it looks like you are experiencing a resolution problem... the wheel and the single user mode use a lower res!
good luck!

Hello zukishu,
Where did you buy the Cinema Display and the Mac from? Can't you contact them and ask them? Most Mac dealers have a good support staff that can help you.
